I will limit myself to elite 8 false hope
Basketball tournament isn't much different than the baseball one except you have zero chances to redeem yourself.
If you get hot at the right time you can win the whole thing with a less than stellar team. Doesn't happen that often though.
Saracen has their alternate lines out. Highest I could get was Hogs -6.5 @ +220. I have been down on them but I think we have a bounce back game. Their 0-3 crowd on a Tuesday night should be a nonfactor.

This guy Razorbacks
Both teams are on fire
Can we just play a game of 21? Like, first team to score 21 wins?
Holy shit, we miss a fast break layup AND the follow up dunk. Is this the WNBA?
Scintillating start.
On pace for a 20-0 shutout
Both teams took at least 10 shots before anyone made one. And they were mostly around the basket.
Get big Z out of there.
This is the proverbial retard fight.

Simply atrocious at fundamentals. Wagner with the pass to Aidoo's toenails.
Lol how was that not a foul on us? Aidoo nearly grabbed the ball while standing out of bounds because he was wondering the same thing.
This is the worst team I've seen since last year.

How the fuck do we wind up with Hunter Yurachek? Chad Morris? Pittman?

Holy shit, we lost to one of the worst teams in LSU history.
Not sure how the pumpers can spin this one.
If LSU had shot 75% from the line tonight they would have lost. Most of us would take 75% as a team on that kind of volume.
This is not a blame the refs post by the way. We made more than enough mistakes on our own to easily overcome the FT differential. Mostly self-inflicted.

In the past few years, we have always complained about the refs calling too many fouls. That sure didn't happen today.
No doubt. There were several calls/non-calls that went our way tonight where I would've gone batshit if I was an LSU fan. Still couldn't capitalize. That's all on us.
On a semi-related note, Cal shows zero emotion on the sideline. He needs to purposely get T'd up and tossed sometime soon and show that there is somewhat a give a shit from the top.
I forgot we played tonight. I saw the score and laughed.
In my 53 years this is the worst time in Razorback sports history. There's nothing to look forward to. Calipari is looking like a colossal bust. Why did he even want to coach here? Pittman? Good lord.

Me too. I just now remembered there was a game and had to check this thread. Oh well. Wasn't surprised.
Someone has put a hex on the whole program. Maybe Nolan put some kind of voodoo curse on the program.
Let's face it, Calipari was never that great at the actual coaching part of being a coach. He's completely washed now. He had an "offensive guru" on his staff at Kentucky last year who went to Fresno. He needs to get someone like that in the offseason or we're fucked no matter how much talent we have.

The players are getting paid too much. They are lazy and unmotivated.
Not filling out the full roster is a fireable offense that should void a buyout. Mickey Mouse bullshit.

Present day Nolan wouldn't be 0-4 right now.
Nolan never put a team this bad together. This team sucks at every facet of the game. Most nights there isn't one single thing they do well.
I went to get with 5 minutes left in the first half. Johnell had 10 points. I just checked the box score. He finished the game with 10 points.
Brazile has 6 points, Wagner had 10, and Thiero had 13. We wno't win many games with that scoring production. Fland should never be our leading scorer.
LSU dribbled around us and made layups all night. We dicked around doing our figure 8 outside the arc and would end up shooting some shit shot. We can't guard anyone off the dribble and no one helps underneath. I have never seen a team this bad. We really look like a team some company put together or maybe a team in a church league. LSU had guys wide open under the basket all night. And they are a terrible team. So, what does that say about us?
Throw aside offense and defense, this team has no leadership. Just like last year. No one brings everyone together and says "we're not losing this game".
Even look at the bench. Keady once said "give me 9 really good players and 4 that cheer like hell". Our bench players look like they were forced to go to the game. If Cal wants to have a few kids there for practice, get kid's from Arkansas to hold those spots. They would actually care about the game.

In Brazile's case, it's hard to score when your coach leaves you on the bench. He played only ten minutes, and without rewatching I'd guess at least half those were played at center (not his position) with Aidoo on the bench. Think what you want of TB, but this year he's been the only one who has shown any interest in grabbing a rebound that didn't hit him squarely in his hands where he was standing. And in his limited time last night he hit two three pointers.
The best five we can put on the floor right now is as follows:
Fland
Wagner
Thiero
Brazile
Aidoo
Guys like Richmond, Knox, and Z need to play around 5 minutes each per game at most to spell the other guys. And Davis...WTF? He looks like the epitome of what happens when you give a guy a large salary and no other incentives to perform or even remotely give a damn. Play him when he's on a heater, and sit his ass as soon as it's obvious that he's not.
Different clown...same circus.
I mean, is it fucking us? You could say Calipari was past his prime, but he has never been this bad. So what's the fucking deal?
Two years in a row with two different coaches where we entered the season thinking about Final Fours and we suck to Stan Heath levels.

Great minds and all. This is exactly the rotation I came up with in the shower this morning. Z, Richmond, and Knox are bit players at best.
Richmond is the kind of player that everybody wants to like, but he doesn't have SEC talent. He's like a D-league Lenzie Howell or Darrell Hawkins.
Box scores don't always tell the story but we had Brazile and Davis making 3s but proceed to not get them more shot opportunities. Wagner with 0 assists, doesn't shoot it enough usually gets to the rack and scores but that's mostly what he's been doing. We're not getting him "catch and shoot" in this offense. Everything seems to go thru Fland and his stat line looks ok but he's p laying 38 minutes and is ball dominant. Theiro gets his touches and Aidoo too decent stat lines.
All in all this team makes way too many mental gaffes and just isn't very good defensively.
Big Zilch came in and got tossed to the floor by a 170lb guard there in the 2nd half. Holy shit just go back to the bench.
Big turning point was the F1 on Brazile for a set screen. They make both free throws, then get the ball back and hit a 3. Killer. He leaned into the guy and gave a bit of chicken wing but damn. Then not long after I saw about mid-court an LSU guy set up a wedge block and Fland or one of the other guards ran right into that motherfucker. It was probably legal but still pretty brutal.
Bottom line these guys don't play with any real basketball IQ and as someone else said we're mid-way into the season and it still looks like a rec league pick up game. Is Cal still having fun? What a joke.
Back to the box score: Aidoo shot 3 threes and nailed 0. Theiro took an open one and missed.. Ok I can live with that. Big Zilch took one and flopped. Brazile made 2 triples out of 2 in his 10 minutes of action. So math and all that that's 7 attempts out of your "bigs" and 2 makes...that's not taking care of possessions very well IMO.
Everyone got caught up in the Chicken Nuggets with this team and nobody listened to Cal when he said this will take some time. I guess he wasn't kidding at all. No really if there's money this shouldn't be taking that much time at all. We got shitty over paid basketball players.
Cal said this would take time but this would basically be the same team he would have had at Kentucky if he stayed there. There's no reason we should suck this bad.

The early 80s teams only had role players from Arkansas. Guys like Balentine, Ricky Norton and US Reed were key contributors but the stars were Walker (Chicago), Robertson (Ohio), Scott Hastings (Kansas) and Kleine (Missouri).
I know it's a different time but Nolan recruited kids that fit his system that had chemistry with each other once they got on campus. I'm not sure what Cal's system is other than getting kids to the NBA. We better figure it the fuck out or we're looking at 2-16 dead in the eyes.
You're welcome Kentucky.
I work with a bunch of Iowa State grads. Went to their campus recently. I guess I can root for them but it feels weird.
Anyone want to go with me at lunch to scrape the Tyson logos off Nolan's court?

Does anyone on the team have a good +/- in the first four SEC games? He hasn't been amazing but I haven't had a problem with Brazile this season. He should have played more than 11 minutes last night. I never want to watch Big Z play basketball again.
I agree on Brazile. He has been playing well and giving effort all year. Last night's 10 minutes were a joke. And I think most of that came in the first half. I don't remember him being in at all in the 2nd half til that final minute. Brazile, Thiero, and Boogie should be on the floor together as much as possible every game. Throw darts to pick the rest. The rotations don't make sense most of the time anyway.

"When you have a nine-man roster, you can't really afford two no-shows, but the Hogs saw Billy Richmond III and Trevon Brazile have awful nights, and that sealed the deal. The Razorbacks were plus-9 with Jonas Aidoo on the floor, but Brazile was minus-10 and Richmond minus-18."
Brazille had a "awful" night? I've never been a big fan of Adam's analytics for basketball. They leave a lot to be desired.
In 10 mintues Brazille scored 6 points, went 2-3 from the field (2/2 from three), had 2 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 block and 1 turnover.
In comparison...
Boogie: In 38 minutes he had 19 points, went 6-17 from the field (3/5 from three), had 1 rebound, 5 assits, 1 steal and 2 turnovers. 35% from the field is horrendous.
Mabye Brazille wasn't good on defense in his 10 minutes. Stats don't show that part of the game. But, to say he had an aweful night sure seems odd. If anything I'd say had he played 38 mintues he would have been our top scorer.
Davis had a much worse game overall as compared to Brazille.

"When you have a nine-man roster, you can't really afford two no-shows, but the Hogs saw Billy Richmond III and Trevon Brazile have awful nights, and that sealed the deal. The Razorbacks were plus-9 with Jonas Aidoo on the floor, but Brazile was minus-10 and Richmond minus-18."
+/- is hardly the end all be all when it comes to statistical analysis and can be misleading. He had 6 points on 2/3 shooting with 2 assists, 2 rebounds, 1 block, and 1 turnover in 10 minutes. That's not awful, holy shit.
Hey butthole. You're kinda stealling my thunder!
Well you beat me to it.
My gut tells me the ball needs to go thru Wagner with Fland and Davis being the off guards. Cal's offense has mostly been about dribble drives and I think that's what we're trying to fuck around and do but the other guys on this team are ass at setting screens and back doors and all that kind of shit. Everything is a circus shot or something jacked up. Our other young freshman are foul magnets. Richmond was missed last night his 4 fouls really killed his game. Knox was basically a no show.
In years past with a loaded roster we didn't know what to do with those 9th thru 13th guys but for my money I'd rather get legit playable D1 guys on the roster and let god sort it out. Clearly we didn't because no way Cal is just going to sit there if he thinks he can get something out of <checks notes> Melo Sanchez that we're not getting out of somebody else that's getting paid to suck.

I haven't seen anyone who can beat anyone else off the dribble, while other teams go around us like no one is even there.
Calipari made Pardon the Interruption.
Who had a worst night, him or Woodson.

Fland looks like the 2nd coming of Allen Iverson when he's going against HBCUs
Maybe I just got used to Musselman looking like he wanted to kill himself after every loss but after watching Cal's last two post game press conferences he doesn't strike me as a guy who gives a shit about losing right now.
Quote from: Show-Me Hog on Jan 15, 2025, 08:52 AMGreat minds and all. This is exactly the rotation I came up with in the shower this morning. Z, Richmond, and Knox are bit players at best.
Richmond is the kind of player that everybody wants to like, but he doesn't have SEC talent. He's like a D-league Lenzie Howell or Darrell Hawkins.
Lenzie Howell? Darrell Hawkins?
He's not even close to earned D-League status to those legends.
2 of my favorite Hogs all time and Billy Richmond?
Billy Richmond flat out sucks. He's a D League Ray Biggers or Ken Biley.

He doesn't care. He's a hired gun who gets paid regardless of W/L. Just like the players.
Nobody cares, man. "whErE aRe tHE fAnS??"
Sitting at him watching Landman, bruh.
