The University of Arkansas baseball team has done nothing but win since dropping a 2-1 walk-off loss in 14 innings to Oklahoma State on Feb. 24. Its ensuing nine-game winning streak catapulted the Razorbacks into multiple No. 1 rankings on Monday

The Razorbacks (13-2) are No. 1 in the USA Today coaches poll, the rankings of record by the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, as well as polls conducted by Baseball America, D1Baseball.com and the NCAA RPI rankings. They are No. 2 in the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association poll to Oregon State (14-1), whose lone loss came against the Hogs.

Cincinnati Coach Wes Miller said he loved coaching Jeremiah Davenport.

Eric Musselman, the University of Arkansas men’s coach, can relate.

“God, I love Jeremiah Davenport,” Miller told The Athletic last March for a profile on Davenport chronicling his four years with the Bearcats. “I love them all, but I love him.

When he takes the floor, he just wants Cincinnati to win basketball games.

“If they were all like that every day, coaching is pretty easy. And he’s fun to coach.”

Musselman said much the same about Davenport — a 6-6 guard who transferred to Arkansas for his fifth season of eligibility — last week after the Razorbacks beat LSU 94-83 on Senior Night at Walton Arena.
