Summary
On February 21, 2026, the University of Arkansas honored Razorback legend Pat Foster during halftime of the Missouri game β an Arkansas native, former Hog standout, and assistant under Eddie Sutton who helped build the foundation of a national powerhouse in the 1970s. That rise paved the way for the recruitment and success of "The Triplets" β Sidney Moncrief, Ron Brewer, and Marvin Delph β and their unforgettable run to the 1978 Final Four. In this special Hog Pod episode, we look back on that monumental era through the voices of Frank Broyles, Ron Brewer, Sidney Moncrief, Joe Kleine, Jim Counce, Chuck Barrett, Rick Schaeffer, and Matt Zimmerman, from Part 1 of Hogs Plus' documentary, 100 Seasons of Arkansas Basketball.
