Maybe last game was a fluke. Maybe not. Either way, most woopiggers will be asleep.
Watching the state of the union. Much more entertaining. Hope we can find it deep down and grind out a W.
Why not just put this on tomorrows slate of games? 5 games today and 3 tomorrow. 9 is a bit rediculous for both teams being in cst. Oh well, we obviously suck at early morning games. Maybe we'll have more juice.
Yeah, I'm gonna have to take a nap after dinner to stay up for this one. You know tip won't be until after 9:00 and they'll review a million plays, so it will end around midnight. I feel old for typing that.
This is all due to the SECW tourney which starts tomorrow. Blame the ladies...
Need to summon the spirits of Rotnei Clarke and Michael Sanchez from that 2011 game there tonight.
Qualls and Macon hit big shots there too.
Good luck tonight fellas. I can't do 9 pm on a school night.
These TV times are retarded.

I don't think it will matter. I think the team is ready for this season to be over. I know I am.
Well about the time you give up on these boys they come out firing away clanking shots and somehow derping their way to a victory to keep hope alive. I don't know that we have it in the cards tonight. It killed us when Theiro went down. We would have to get ALL-SEC performances out of the Tenn transfer, have Brazile give us something like 17/11 and minimized mistakes. Oh and some great shooting from our guards. So no it's not going to happen.
But in typical Arkansas fashion I won't be surprised if we win tonight and follow that up with an L against MSU.

Yeah, zero point zero chance we get a tournament-saving win tonight. We are Arkansas, and we refuse to lift the curse by not building a Nolan statue.

Why not just mix it in with the other games tonight though? They have eleventy billions ways we can watch it. Not like they're going to increase ratings by starting later. Nobody besides these two fan bases give two shits about this game.
Like a lot of y'all, I don't have much faith in tonight either. But I still think we have a chance at the dance if we can somehow go 1-1 this week.
We know this isn't going anywhere long-term, but it's always fun to just get in there again.*
*have said this many times in a different context
Driving a fan bus 3.5 hours to a 7:00 state tourney game tomorrow. Pull back in at 1:30 am I bet.
Calling it a night. Maybe they can pull one out of their ass tonight.
Texas doing everything they can to lose
Any chance of utilizing an alt channel?
Haha. Fuck Texas
We need this kind of effort tonight.

they need to just do that a bunch
Basket or fouls or both more often than not
How was that not a shooting foul?
Not that we necessarily want Aidoo shooting free throws.
Luckily that's about 5 passes they've thrown to grandma this half. They are in our playbook.
We make so many careless turnovers
Billy, please...
Quote from: Doc Hogaday on Mar 04, 2025, 09:50 PMBilly, please...
Quit trying to bounce pass it through 3 guys please.
4 TOs already off the bench.
Yeah, Billy needs to leave the dribbling to somebody else. Just be a slasher and defender.
Don't look now but we're tied.
Effort is very good tonight
Nice little run. Mostly Knox.
Knox takes some Matt Jones' length strides. Nice run.
The little guy just literally took it away from Z. Cmon mane.
Get Vandy running and they do stupid shit
They're gonna make me stay up for the second half
Brazile came to play.
Yep, definitely the Brazile we need. Davis has a good half going as well.
Sigh. That might be the stupidest foul in the history of basketball, 90 ft from the basket with half a second left.
All things considered.. . I'll take it.
Who is wearing #4 and what did he do with Brazile?

Great pass by Z
That Wagner 3 woulda been nice. Going to need something out of him this half.
As I was saying.
We're attacking the rim. Being aggressive
TB!
Quote from: Barton Fink on Mar 04, 2025, 10:25 PMWe're attacking the rim. Being aggressive
It may have been more up and down fast-paced 1st half, but we are not stagnant and making the game too quick for Vandy right now.
How is that not a foul???
Quote from: Barton Fink on Mar 04, 2025, 10:31 PMHow is that not a foul???
If they call a foul they might stop Vandy from getting some momentum.
Great pass DJ
Aidoo gets 4 on two of their guys on consecutive trips.

They are starting to show some quit.

I'm going o for the last two on my guarandamntee predictions of no way we lose to South Carolina and Vandy blows us out.

BIG WIN.
Shot of the game. There are various Brazile candidates, but the winner is ....
DJ's 30 foot 3 at the end of the shot clock after the technical free throws. Complete momentum shift back in our column, ball game.
Boy, I didn't see that coming.
Congrats to the team!
Tb playing like an agent told him he ain't getting drafted, not enough good ball on film since the knee injury.

TB just said they didn't have anyone over 6'8", and we took advantage of it.

Locking those knees and ACLs don't mix.

Quote from: Son of Spam on Mar 05, 2025, 08:56 AMFuck these refs! Oh, wait, the game is over. I see we won. Nice.
refs called a lot fouls, but it didn't strike me as egregious.
The only one that stood out to me was when the Vandy player was griping at the ref, walked away a bit, and then turned and shook his finger at the ref and griping some more.
The ref started to call the T, but decided not to. It was close enough in time to the Cal T that I think he should have called it.
Looking back, the most impressive play from TB last night was probably that put back dunk. He was at the 3pt line when the layup went up and was able to get to the ball and finish. Not as flashy as the breakaway dunks, but I'd say it was more impressive.
Finally got around to watching WarMachine. If we can just get in the tournament, we could make some noise. Davis is finally playing like he should be. Brazile is draft-able if he plays like he's capable of and could do it with consistency. The freshman are playing well.

He was at the 3pt line when the layup went up and was able to get to the ball and finish. Not as flashy as the breakaway dunks, but I'd say it was more impressive.
I was telling someone yesterday I was more impressed with his rebounding. We've seen the highlight dunks from him repeatedly, but that had to be a career high on boards. Some of those he got probably 14 feet in the air.
We need that kind of effort every game from Brazile. He's got the talent to potentially be a pro but his problem has always been consistency and effort on the defensive end.
That all being said when you take away guys and now he's playing well it comes down to some guys just don't "mesh" with others. When you have these teams full of thrown together rosters you just don't know what you are going to get from year to year or how long it may take to gel. I think Pope was crying about wanting to go to 40 game schedules due to the modern realities of college basketball....feels that would be a better way to judge basketball programs for the tournament. Potentially but why not play fewer rent-a-wins in the early season?
He seens to be one that let's the game affect him mentally. If he's confident, he plays really well. If not, he's awful. He seems to get frustrated when he makes mistakes or doesn't play. You could tell by looking at him the other night that he was confident.

Brazile didn't play well at South Carolina (no one did), but his best two games against Texass and Vandy came after Thiero's injury. The playing time thing has real merit.
It is definitely all between the ears w/ Brazile and Davis. Davis, while still having way too many WTF plays/decisions, has definitely played better since Boogie went out. The same for Brazile w/ Thiero. It's not so much who we're playing against, it's more who they're "competing" w/ on their own team.
Numbers are down so much now that they know they're not getting pulled, or at least sat for the rest of the game, for a boneheaded decision.
I think TB has all the potential in the world but I don't know if he has it mentally to compete at the next level to earn a roster spot.
Davis gives off a "I don't give a shit" vibe to me. It is like he got paid and the team didn't jell so he doesn't give a fuck. He also has a low Basketball IQ. Almost like maybe FAU didn't play great competition and his stats were maybe inflated. But then, three point shooting is threepoint shooting and he did that quit well at FAU. Here, even when wide open he makes some ugly ass shots.

Fixt. I should have just said I truly believe Davis is retarded. KJ brains.
As far as the biggest "I don't give a shit" vibe, that has to be Aidoo. I realize he has been hurt. People talk about him rebounding better lately. Somebody point me to one rebound he has gotten all year that didn't come directly to him or that he didn't get other than on account of just being taller than the person next to him.
It's almost as if when you pay players with no additional incentive beyond winning, pride, personal dignity, lasting relationships, and/or memories...other than that I don't think these guys really give a dippy doo if they go deep like into the tournament or not. They get paid the same way.
I know from a fans perspective my emotional attachment to these keeds is at an all time low. That's not me being a dick. That's me thinking why be emotionally invested when the kid clearly isn't. So the relationship between player and fan becomes a transactional one in which there is no performance assurance. And I'm not saying that to imply that we have guys making "business decisions"...I do think that happened under Muss though...

This team is bizarre. My response to the SC game was "these kids don't give a damn, they don't even seem to be upset."
Then at Vandy they clearly gave a damn. I don't get how they can be so inconsistent.
