“Win.” That was Arkansas sophomore guard Courtney Fortson’s succinct yet telling answer to the question Thursday of how the Razorbacks’ basketball program will move forward from a tumultuous offseason and the worst season the basketball program has experienced since 1971.

Arkansas coach John Pelphrey and the Razorback basketball team start fall practice Friday, and the coach met with the media Thursday for a question-and-answer session. Pelphrey discusses the team's attitude after a 2-14 season in the SEC and the off-the-court events that have kept the program in a bad light going into the season. This is the entire press conference.
