First year Sam Pittman.
THE ONLY GUYS WE NEED ARE THE GUYS IN THAT LOCKER ROOM. Minus Boogey. And Thiero.
I feel like we need some kind of minor miracle now. Z to go off. Aidoo & Brazile to both have their best games of the year, at the same time.
But, Fuck Texas.
Fuckin Brazile.
Getting that out of the way early.

I think we're on a four game stretch of that comment being true.
Hopefully tonight is the game where Billy Richmond puts together a full 40 minutes and takes over the team.
Fuck these refs

Was it the Texas game where the refs decided to get Texas in the bonus shooting FTs during the second half in under four minutes?

Yes. One of the worst halves of officiating I've ever seen. Shoulda won by 20+, refs kept it close.
I have a Tuck Fexas shirt somewhere, but it's red with white lettering. Had an upside down horns logo on the back.

That's not even typical message board exaggeration. That 2H against Texas was inexplicable outside of interference in the game. The only reason it hasn't received more attention is because we still won the game.

Yep even if we were good I'd still struggle to get to the end of the game. I can't stand watching college basketball anymore so if anything I might tune in at the last little bit to see how we manage to do it but these games I'm usually in bed or watching something really important like Star Trek: Voyager
I don't really mind the 8:00 tips, but I do think w/ this year's expansion and the SEC being the powerhouse that it is that ESPN/SEC should look at adding another weekday to its slate of conference games so that so many good ones don't overlap. Either add Monday or Thursday...or both. Theoretically you could have 6:00 & 8:00 tips every night Monday thru Thursday. Split Saturdays into Saturday/Sunday. Big 10, Big 12, and Big East always play on Sunday. What am I supposed to do, watch women's basketball?
Not that every game would be appointment TV but you could have SEC basketball every day but Friday. I would definitely keep it on if only in the background when I was home.

Welcome to the world of the East Coast. It sucks
Gonna be hard to do it without Thiero. Brazile gonna put up a career game.
Whether that means career great to lead us to a win or career awful to lead us to a program-crushing loss... I can't predict.
Knox may get more time in that spot
We win by 8

Not a foul.

That's the fart/shart meme guy right?
Didn't realize we have identical records, 16-11, 5-9. Yeah this one is big.
I don't understand what's happening
We won't make another three.
Great start so far.
Someone said Richmond needs a great game. He is playing great right now.
Perhaps someone should cover this dude named Tre Johnson. He's a gunner.
What a pass. Damn!

We've been on 18 for a long time
Talk about a drought.
Well, we have regressed to our mean.
Big Z!
Then air balls it. Jesus.
Big Z is always swish. Either all net or all air.
I do like our intensity we are playing with.
I wonder what the lowest score in a half while still having an 8 point lead is?

Second half fouls will be all on Arkansas. No way "they" let it stay this lopsided.
Also a Frank Haith sighting on their bench. Remember that time he wanted to fight MA on the sideline? Good times.
DJ getting double teamed.
Cal needs to find a fix and Coach em up

31-24 Is a good Texas Arkansas score.
Get your lazy asses down the floor

Tonight 5 on us and Bonus + on them. I bet we get hosed in the second half.
This is a game you don't care how it looks, just find a way to win.
That was the least frustrating half of basketball we've had in conference play
Great half. Brazile came to play tonight.
Don't look now but our dumbos are being less dumbo tonight.
Yeah, we'll have eleventyseven fouls called on us in the first 5 minutes of the 2nd half. Just find a way to win.
Quote from: Hognrock on Feb 26, 2025, 09:04 PMYeah, we'll have eleventyseven fouls called on us in the first 5 minutes of the 2nd half. Just find a way to win.
if they put us in the bonus in four minutes again Cal needs to get a technical of his own.
If Nolan is there, he should come down to the Court and throw something.
14 vs 2 free throws at half. A large part of that is the uncontested dunks/layups we have given up. It is frustrating to watch but you have to also realize it's probably by design bc we can't afford foul trouble w/ no bench depth.
We are playing pretty well. Have to make free throws this half. Think Texas will foul more. Brazile has to keep producing.

Get Richmond in
Richmond has been in for a while.
I don't like the start of this 2nd half. It feels like they are going to come back.
He wobbled a bit there. They may make him take a break.

Good mins from Aidoo
If Aidoo finally gets right, we'll finally have the missing piece
Quote from: Sus-Scrofa on Feb 26, 2025, 09:37 PMIf Aidoo finally gets right, we'll finally have the missing piece
This is the key to making the tournament and going deep in the tournament.
....and if course getting Theiro back.
But only after we've lost the 2 best pieces. We can't have it all. A tradition unlike any other.
Aidoo is playing minutes. Man we could use him.
How in the world did Richmond miss that one. He looked like he was open for a dunk.
Love Richmond's effort, but he leaves 4 or 6 points out there with missed layups every game
What is the deal with Richmond and layups?
Stacking some good highlights
Knox was fouled in that layup
Gonna need to make some FTs down the stretch.
This whole not being able to inbound the ball business is getting old.
Set a screen. Fake one way and run hard 20 ft the other way. Learned this shit when we were playing peewee ball.
Quote from: Barton Fink on Feb 26, 2025, 09:49 PMGonna need to make some FTs down the stretch.
No doubt. Also going to need to make some shots.

Lol this dude thinks they're gonna let us shoot FTs
Richmond coming back in..
Uh oh
Here they come.
Z handles the ball worse than I do.
I think that's the first time I've seen Aidoo show emotion all year.
Z wants back in...
Color guy turning into Bernie Mac..
This went south quick

Quote from: Sus-Scrofa on Feb 26, 2025, 10:10 PMJust like last time, they're gonna call a foul every drive
Only on us. Texas only has 4 fouls with 2 minutes to go. Such an impressive defense :sarcasm:
When was the last time we got a stop? Seems like they've scored about 10 to 12 trips in a row.
Still not in the bonus. lol.
That's probably the ball game right there.
Well shit. We need a bucket or four
Withering down the stretch. Somebody needs to make a play
Cals substitutions have sucked
damn shame
Davis simply isn't good.
We suck at making layups
Quote from: Barton Fink on Feb 26, 2025, 09:49 PMGonna need to make some FTs down the stretch.
Well...
Ugh too much time left.
Last shot for Texas.
We're gonna get our balls ripped out through our throats
Free basketball thanks to shitty free throw shooting.
fuckin free throws. can't make them if we do get to the line which is rare even when we are getting pounded
Quote from: buff2.0 on Feb 26, 2025, 10:17 PMWe're gonna get our balls ripped out through our throats
In overtime.
Shit
Just what we needed playing 7 players...extra minutes.
We will pull away in the overtime. 😬
If we had made that they would have called a time out and guaranteed won the game in regulation
I'm going with that
I don't know what we got but this dribble drive and flat out miss shots offense isn't working very well. I suggest buckets offensive approach.
Quote from: BleedinRed on Feb 26, 2025, 10:17 PMWell...
Yep. Close games are won/lost at the line.
I hate it when refs hold that ball that long before the 2nd freethrow. It's bullshit.
Quote from: Barton Fink on Feb 26, 2025, 10:19 PMYep. Close games are won/loat at the line.

Guess it's better than losing.
We might wanna double him
Thank you
Thanks Jebus they don't call 3 seconds anymore. Z camps out in the lane when he posts up.
Nice job surviving that first 3 and getting the lead back. C'mon, boys...
How is it a 7-2 guy shoots better than all our guards?
FT's! Atta boy Z.
Hopefully Cal has a plan to guard Michael Jordan for the next 2:34
Bullets dodged
how in the hell was that not a foul
Why review that???? Plain as day
Get a stop here...
Cal is doing the Aidoo on defense, Z on offense thing again.
Quote from: Show-Me Hog on Feb 26, 2025, 10:31 PMWhy review that???? Plain as day
We'll take the free timeout, Muss.
Get points here...
Wagner made a layup. BRB, I just cummed my pants.
I can't believe Cal hasn't changed anything since the start of the second half. That kid has killed us for the last 24 minutes.
More suckage in transition D
We need to score this trip. Or it will be tied again right quick.
Wagner Davis Richmond need to be on the court right now
He didn't see Richmond
Z's done for tonight.
How did Wagner not see Richmond standing in front of him? The lights are on in the building.
We lose on a technical for calling a timeout with none left.
Quote from: Sus-Scrofa on Feb 26, 2025, 10:35 PMHe didn't see Richmond
WTF was that??? If you were worried about FTs, it's not like they were going to foul him in the backcourt.

Fouled on layup.
Not a shooting foul.

Thank god Texas sucks.
Way too many fucking timeouts.
Quote from: Barton Fink on Feb 26, 2025, 09:49 PMGonna need to make some FTs down the stretch.
yes
Please Davis hit these FTs. The ball didn't look right in Wagner's hands as he was getting ready to shoot his.
Shit!
Johnson has had a game. Can't play better D than that.
Dude is incredible.
That's just called knowing your spot
How can we not stop that. I don't understand.
That cat don't miss
Why fall for a fake drive to the basket when you gotta know dude is shooting the 3
Knox shoulda been in over Aidoo. He could smother that kid like he did Grill in the 2nd half Saturday.
They're gonna get a chance to tie it
Of course...dudes putting up Durant like numbers.
Quote from: Cornhogio on Feb 26, 2025, 10:41 PMDude is incredible.

You can't just foul the worst free throw shooter before the inbounds

Wow a flagrant. There wasn't anything flagrant about that. So is the old intentional foul not even a thing anymore?
Quote from: BleedinRed on Feb 26, 2025, 10:47 PMThese reviews are rediculous.
A HoF coach with a young team. Give Cal ALL the timeouts.

Very possible. That was good on Cal and his staff for quickly calling bullshit on that being a common foul. We've had prior coaches that would have just sat on their hands with a stupid look on their face.
There must be some fine-print rule that says when Arkansas plays Texas, Arkansas can never get into the bonus.
Fuck the SEC and fuck the refs.
For all the shit Cal gets about coaching, he has really done a good job with handling the roster with the hits it continues to take. That was the best all around team performance we've had this year. Even Aidoo decided to make an impact.
I said earlier that Texas would probably come out and shoot about 70% from three. I just didn't know it would be one guy doing it. That dude couldn't miss.
Beating those fucks is always a good thing. I don't care if it's darts or horseshoes. Fuck Texas.
