Arkansas head coach Eric Musselman has been keeping March Madness light by wearing outfits that match the city his team plays in. And now, his wife, Danyelle, is getting in on the act.

With Arkansas heading to San Francisco for their Sweet Sixten matchup against Gonzaga, Danyelle Musselman posted a picture of her and Eric rocking apparel of some teams in “The Bay”.

Later in the day, the entire Arkansas team echoed the sentiment of Eric Musselman and his wife by taking a picture all decked out in San Francisco apparel outside the team plane.

Danyelle Mussselman was a former anchor at ESPN.  The pair met back in 2008 when she was working on a media panel, and Eric Musselman was in between jobs after being fired by the Sacramento Kings.

“We ended up meeting afterward, and we talked, and one thing led to another,” Danyelle told the Arkansas Democrat Gazette. “Here we are 11 years later married with a little girl.”

Eric Musselman would propose shortly thereafter, and they tied the knot later in 2009.
