Temple hug

Arkansas acting Coach Keith Smart said he got a postgame hug from former LSU and San Antonio Spurs standout Collis Temple Jr., who is on LSU’s board of supervisors.

Smart. a native of Baton Rouge, said Temple helped him get to school and supported him when his younger sister passed away.

“Collis and his family were right there with us,” Smart said on the Razorback Sports Network. “For him to come and hug me, he just said, ‘Man, this is probably the only time that I’m going to wrap my arms around someone who just beat a Tiger.’

“I pointed to my mom up in the stands and right away of course there was a connection right away.”
