After dancing on the logo at half court before the game, No. 1 Auburn lost to Arkansas on Tuesday night. It was the first time that the Razorbacks had knocked off a No. 1 team since 1984. Head coach Eric Musselman, who is dealing with torn tendons in his shoulder, partied shirtless on the court after the game and it was awesome.

The Tigers, who rose to the program’s first-ever No. 1 ranking, were met by a sea of students before the game. The students tried to camp outside of the stadium on the night before the game, but the school asked them to disperse and gave them wristbands for today.

They were there early.

The Arkansas student body was rowdy from the jump. Especially when Auburn had a “meeting” on the logo before the game. It was awfully cocky for a team that almost lost to Georgia.

The Razorbacks and head coach Eric Musselman took note.

Arkansas beat the nation’s top-ranked team in overtime after surviving a near self-jinx.

Muss’ team was locked-in, focused and prepared. They went up big early, but Auburn is too good of a team not to battle back. So Bruce Pearl and his guys did exactly that.

However, in the end, the white-out in Fayetteville proved to be too much. The Razorbacks went on to win by four.

It was almost six.

Seconds before the buzzer, Arkansas forced a turnover and was set to run out the clock. Instead, it quickly turned into the greatest walk-off dunk of all-time that didn’t count. Just watch:

The students stormed the court and the party began.

Joining in on the fun was Musselman, shoulder brace and all— shirtless.

Before the game, he had met with a group of students outside of the stadium. They asked him if he’d take his shirt off with a win. Musselman agreed.

He kept his promise and it was epic. Tarps off for the Hogs!

Afterward, Musselman thanked the the officers who let him party shirtless. And he did it shirtless.

The entire night couldn’t have been written any better— from start to finish it was an adrenaline rush. Shoutout to Eric Musselman. That’s a man who keeps his word.
