LAS VEGAS (AP) — Arkansas coach Eric Musselman and UConn’s Dan Hurley have fiery demeanors, just like their fathers. The coaches’ sons will meet in the Sweet 16 in Las Vegas, pulling them one step closer to college basketball’s ultimate goal. Musselman absorbed everything from his father, Bill, as he zigzagged the country coaching everything from college to the NBA. The younger Musselman has the Razorbacks in the Sweet 16 for the third straight season despite key injuries. Dan Hurley’s father, Bob, is one of the few high school coaches in the Naismith Hall of Fame. Dan has the Huskies in the Sweet 16 for the first time since 2014.
