I'm pretty sure I really missed out not getting to watch the Triplets. How many of you watched these guys play?

I’m 34 and never seen them but warmachine has the highlights on YouTube.

I watched some on TV. It's what got me into college basketball, so I didn't know much about the game at the time.
As I recall, the games were all replays on TV late at night and I don't even think they showed all of them. This was in Little Rock and I don't know about elsewhere.
The one I remember the most was against Indiana State and Larry Bird. US Reed, I think, was tripped and fell down. The refs called travelling, even though it allegedly was not, because he never turned over. This gave Bird the opportunity to hit the game winning shot.
I know that I also watched the third place game against Notre Dame, but I don't remember anything about it. It was all new to me.

The most exciting Arkansas bunch that I've seen through highlights are still the Day, Mayberry, Big O teams. They played so fast and are still the most talented teams I've seen in a Razorback uniform imo, even though I'm a bit too young to have watched them much live.

The MayDayO teams were awesome! I think that I actually enjoyed them more than the '94 team.

I don’t remember anything really before 94 team.
I do remember going to midnight madness and seeing the 91 team vs the 94 teams.. went 2 years in a row and that was fun.

I did, they made me a hog b-ball fan for life. I listened to every game on the radio and never missed one on tv. I always believed if Sidney were 100% healthy in the final 4 vs UK, they would've cut down the nets. It was obvious he was hurting.

Watch the triplets many times in the Barn. Went to high school with "boot head", he wasn't very intelligent but boy he could ball.
He took me off the dribble many times over at the projects.

Triplets
Born in 1962. Watched the triplets play many times in person and on TV. Was a HS basketball player from 77-80 and did several basketball camps in the Barn under Sutton, Keady and Foster. Played with Sidney's younger brother Doyle in camps at at UCA.
The newness of Arkansas being a nationally relevant basketball team makes them special. The MayDay group and of course the '94 team were special...but if you're my age the Triplets are the most special. Sidney Moncrief is the Michael Jordan of Arkansas basketball.

Well put, you're a year older than me (Feb. '63).

Jim Robken and the sound meter that measured beyond jet engine decibels...
Some of today’s fans and players would be stunned speechless.

Barnhill was a lot of fun. Believe it or not, but I haven't been to BWA since Nolan got fired. I'm going to have to fix that next season.

Went to school with them—especially looking back it was a great time to be on campus.
