Whaddya mean "post game show"? We got basketball to watch.
Tip off 7:20 pm.
Gotta take care of those NFL advertisers.
Fuck Duke. I hate them worse than I do texass nowadays.
Guess we'll get to watch Dak eat a turkey leg instead of watching the first part of our game
Why does Dak have Darth Vader on his jersey

lol, my grandson thought it was batman when they first put those on the jerseys.
Why is the game delayed and we still doing post game shit
No matter how far removed from the 90's we get, this arena and that floor always bring back a frick ton of nostalgia.
Sounds like a good crowd. Crazy that we're 3-2 against these blue fucks.
Glad we're not playing a game of horse
Great D early
Pretty sure usaf was just on the jumbotron

Don't worry. The Duke blowjob will last for another couple of hours.
It might as well be Billy Packer on the call.
Paramount Plus might be the worst streaming app on the face of the planet
We're playing with a different ball than usual. EVO NXT feels a lot different than the Nike we usually play with.
Finally hit that three. I like the offensive rebounding so far.
And I already hate Boozer.
Richmond!!!
We can't beat these fuckers bad enough.
Cmon Thomas. Turned it over twice in the first 30 seconds he was in, by putting it on the floor near a Duke player. Just hold the ball and slow down.
Pretty good D by Ewin there. Not sure what else he could have done
Get Thomas out of there.
Quote from: flash23 on Nov 27, 2025, 07:35 PMPretty good D by Ewin there. Not sure what else he could have done
Yeah that was total bullshit.

He's a good shooter. Got to keep him from getting hot.
My gawd Brazile!
Holy shit
Brazile didn't come to paint
Big missed call there. Gave them 3 after Duke knocked it out of bounds.
Hole Lee shit
Duke just slapped their dick across our face. Fuck.
That escalated quickly.
Pringle is not a paint presence. I'm not sure what he is.
Out of bounds? Fuck the old guy.
How was that a foul?
Quote from: Show-Me Hog on Nov 27, 2025, 07:55 PMPringle is not a paint presence. I'm not sure what he is.
Maybe something non-basketball related
We came back from a big deficit in '94.
Boozer hooks every play down low
Bullshit foul!!
Walk in the paint, no call.
Duke has what we are missing. A big physical guy who can get to the rim and score.
Didn't we have like a 5 point lead a couple of minutes ago?
That wasn't out. He DID re-establish.
How was that not an reestablishment? His right foot was inbounds before he caught it?
Boozer was just in the lane at least eight seconds. No problem.
We're not looking like we'll be able to make a run on these guys. Gonna have to start hitting more threes because, yeah, they're pushing our shit in down low.
Richmond needs to get that basket there. A lot of times it feels like he just throws up prayers when he gets to the rim.
We got a bailout call there.
Duke and Michigan State with the same game against us. Punish us inside. Outrebound us with ease. And couple the inside punishment with an inside out game to the 3.
We need a couple of mens inside in the worst way. Is there an in-season transfer portal?
Ended the half the right way.
Not a bad close out to the half there.
Good finish
Definitely should've been a bump and-one on the Thomas shot.
And they are absolutely allowed to construct permanent housing in the lane. It's unreal.
they had 16 second chance points to our 6. got 4 points from thomas, pringle, knox, and ewin. all things considered, down by 6 ain't bad.
We're gonna win by 5
I hate Bill Raferty. Hope he chokes on Dukes dick.
Acuff has had a good game so far.
The paint is going to be our undoing this year.
There we go Pringle!
Acuff!!!
I thought Brazile got the block but I think Evan's just bricked the dunk.
THOMAS!!!
Thomas is heating up!
8-0 run!
Wow
Feels weird to be the team with the momentum from behind the arc
Bump on the shot, no foul.
Nice run
Hog call is loud
That's how you come out after the half!
22-6 run.
Thomas is settling in. Knox getting a little active.
Quote from: BleedinRed on Nov 27, 2025, 08:27 PMThe paint is going to be our undoing this year.
Agreeance.
From the 1-4 positions we can run with anybody I've seen this year.
BILLY RICHMOND the THIRD with the block
I like what we are doing on defense with the rotation on Boozer when they run the pick and roll.
HLY FUCKING WALK
Travel
That wasn't even close. He stepped out by like a foot. We have to lead the nation over the last few years in stepping out of bounds on the side when receiving a pass.
Boozer AVERAGES about six seconds in the lane. Holy crap please call it just once.
We need more of that from Ewin.
That's Shaq-ish free throw shooting
Bullshit foul. Bull fucking shit.
Just laughable.
Travel again
We're gonna have to be up by 10 with about 3 seconds to go
Boozer fouled Brazile on the push off but luckily they called him For the carry.
BOOM!
I don't have a sense how this ends but it has been a great game so far.
what did they call?
That clock sure went fast..
Ewin playing much better
Quote from: TC on Nov 27, 2025, 08:45 PMThat clock sure went fast..
Can't count on winning the mental battle.
Weak foul again
The amount of contact required depending on the team is not even, I'll say that.
We are playing much more physical this half.
holy fucking shit, never touched him.
Unacceptable defense to allow Boozer to drive the ball full court for a dunk.
Boozer must be tired after that long trip
That move Ewin had is a foul 100% of the time on teh other end. 100% of the time. You know it, I know it.
Gotta stop the ball there
Basketball 101...you gotta stop the dribble.
I think everyone was in shock that Boozer was able to tackle him with no foul call.
Thomas had all day to set up for the charge.
Thomas to Richmond the Third that was clean.
Looked like he had it almost walked off by the bench
How does Brazile get so many oddly timed airballs?
We need to dig deep and resist the urge to play retarded in these last minutes.
Quote from: BleedinRed on Nov 27, 2025, 08:59 PMWe need to dig deep and resist the urge to play retarded in these last minutes.
That's a sizable ask. But maybe.
Oh wait. This isn't the football team.
Great effort so far. Need the W though. Go Hogs.
How'd we get the ball back?
Boozer is hooking and/or throwing an elbow every time he gets the ball. If he played anywhere else those would be fouls.
I swear I keep hearing whistles
No disruption of the ball by Pringle, but sure, let Boozer dribble again.
Quote from: buff2.0 on Nov 27, 2025, 09:03 PMBoozer is hooking and/or throwing an elbow every time he gets the ball. If he played anywhere else those would be fouls.
Reminds me of Timmy when we played Gonzaga in the sweet 16.
JUMP BALL? WTF?
The let Boozer walk and/or push off every damned time he touches the ball.
Boozer is amazing! Amazing with the fucking forearm shimmy.
First foul on Boozer lol.
Pretty much all of SEC Rant is commenting the same thing about what Duke gets away with
We won't win a close game. We need to go on a big run and get cushion. Boozer will be allowed to have his way if they have the ball last.
Isn't it a dead ball if hits the side of the backboard?
Nope. Only a dead ball if it goes over the back.

Reminds me of Grant Hill or Laettner, they would play physical as hell but never get called for fouls
Like I said above, we can't play retarded basketball.
Richmond needs to work on his ballhandling.
Acuff has carried us tonight.
Brazile is supposed to be experienced and he still does things like that late
No foul on that acuff drive?
Just don't settle for jumpers
Our boy getting lots of screen time.

Shirley you can't be serious.
He didn't get dismembered.
If Boozer was wearing red, he would have 20 fouls.
Can't wait for Brazile to get out of here
They slob his knob but go blind when he bricks every free throw.
Meleek!
That miss by Acuff was it. Ballgame.
Foot was on the line
That lucky make by Boozer just shows God is laughing at us.
Not happening tonight.
Quote from: HOGSRUNWILD on Nov 27, 2025, 09:14 PMIf Boozer was wearing red, he would have 20 fouls.
This.
Elbow to Brazile's throat. No problem.
can't fucking breathe on boozer.
Fuck
Two hands on the ball, foul called on us.
Giving Boozer that push off all night.
Motherfucker pushed off and walked on that bullshit play.
Duke player's foot was on the line on that previous three. Won't matter though. We played too fucking stupid to beat the refs and Duke.
That's it. F Duke.
Odd how we can't even get decent refereeing on a neutral floor.
You tell me the rest don't decide the game beforehand...
Refs are on the take and you will NEVER convince me otherwise. They call two completely different games depending on which team they are looking at. They are on the take and there is no other explanation.
Only the 7th foul on Duke this half.
Quote from: Barton Fink on Nov 27, 2025, 09:19 PMGiving Boozer that push off all night.
Fucking this.
They very reluctantly called that foul on Boozer when he tackled Brazile.
34 points. 64 pushoffs.
You just knew they were gonna let Boozer do whatever he wanted all game. Onions sucking him off all night was the cherry on top, too.
Another close loss when we have an opportunity to break into the big time. I has the fatigue.
That sequence where Ewing went to the hole and Boozer hacked him hard, which is a foul 100% of the time tonight. I mean, 100% of the time, no call. Everyone was in shock and just stood there, waiting for the foul call and let boozer dribble down for the score. That is when I knew the game was rigged. They saw the foul and simply weren't going to fucking call it on Duke.

Yep that was the defining moment.
Not bad for a 5 against 8 game.
officials sucked but getting 5 points from knox and wagner along with four rebounds between pringle and ewin did us in.
acuff and brazile's legs are going to fall off before the end of the season.
Wagner didn't get enough minutes. Pringle will foul out every game.
Boozer chicken winged our guys all night and the refs ate their whistles like a blue devil dick.
I expected a blowout, but we played well. We've got to start taking advantage offensively when other teams aren't hitting anything. There was no reason we could have stretched the lead out to double digits during our run. Someone has got to step up consistently for us to do that, though.

Quote from: mde114 on Nov 27, 2025, 09:30 PMI thought we were a basketball school?
Try to keep up. It's November, it's baseball season.
Knox has been a total no show.
Quote from: Pig Benis on Nov 27, 2025, 09:52 PMKnox has been a total no show.
He has been disappointing. He started slow last year too.
Knox is turning into the disappearing man like Tramon Mark.
I would've never guessed he played 23 minutes.
I know the refs let Boozer do whatever...
But here goes:
We are not getting what I thought we would by bringing back a core nucleus from last year.
Knox. He is lost out there. 2 points tonight. Cannot get his own shot. He's not doing anything else either. Last year he blocked shots, was active on the boards. This year just a complete no show in big games.
Wagner. He just doesn't have it. A 5 star recruit who is just, at best, an average college guard. He doesn't shoot well, makes extremely questionable decisions in shot selection, and hasn't improved at all. He will never sniff the NBA. Compound this with the fact that Cal loves him for some reason, which is a problem.
Brazile. He's mid. He's not physical enough to be in the post. He does at least 2-3 things a game that leave you dumbfounded. He's still a knucklehead. He doesn't have the ability to drive. He can hit a 3 but when he does he's going to brick 2. He's a putback player and a spot 3 shooter. Still, he gave us 11 tonight and does get rebounds. He hasn't improved.
Billy. He has improved. He has made steps that I hoped the other 3 would have to this point. The lone bright spot year over year. The only guy who's made strides in his game.
Pringle and Ewin. Pringle is the most physical interior player we have, but he's getting swallowed up. He's limited offensively too. Doesn't really ever affect the game.
Ewin is soft, loafs, but does have some skill. He's great at the line too. Not particularly athletic. Not going to block shots. He's meh.
I hate to say it, but this team is a long way off. Last year we even managed to beat Michigan at MSG. We've lost both big games so far this year.
This team is Acuff and Thomas and Richmond so far. Which is wild, because as I said I thought the upper guys would carry and the young guys would struggle. It's been the opposite.
We have carried no momentum over from our run last year so far.
This team needs a signature win. They will get a chance against Louisville. If they drop that one, it starts to bring the pressure.
After the 3 guys I mentioned, I don't have much confidence in anyone else. It's a long season and Cal is great, but beating Winthrop at home by 1 and struggling with Samford, as well as 2 typical Arkansas losses against the good teams, isn't leaving me feeling very good.
Well we'll get um next time
red death good analysis and pretty spot on. Having good sports writers and analysis is what makes the woopig dues worth it.
We better win a couple of these "marquee matchups". Arkansas fans are tired of moral victories, or We Almost Always Almost Win, across the board in the Big 3 sports.
Things I trust from watching so far:
Acuff with the ball in his hand.
Richmond's energy and effort.
Thomas's shooting WHEN he isn't forcing a shot, when it happens naturally within the flow.
That's really about it. Captain Obvious negative stuff that we've all noted:
Brazile is a hot and cold head case.
We don't have the big mens to go toe to toe with teams that have big mens.
One thing I think I see is that Richmond and Knox fill the same role but Billy does it better. They are both Fred Sanford level junk men. They are not special or even good with the ball in their hand like Acuff is. They are not good off ball shooters like Thomas is. They need to scrap and get rebounds and exploit holes in the other team.
Knox is pressing bc he thought this was the money year. Brazile is Brazile hot then cold. Need Acuff and Wagner to drive to the basket more.
There aren't many teams that will stop Boozer if:
1) He is able to use his off hand/arm to clear out/hook/push EVERY FUCKING TIME he has the ball. EVERY SINGLE TIME
2) Walk like he is doing the electric slide while camped out in the lane.
2) You breath on him, it is a foul
3) He can maul our Big and no foul
I mean if any one of those was changed, it is a different ballgame.
I mean, that is just the way it is, but change any even one of those and he is either in foul trouble or his offensive effectiveness drops WAY down.
Need to get this W Wednesday. Looks like it could be a track meet.
Yeah, Knox is pressing. At the end of last year he might have been a second round NBA pick. At this rate he is headed for new NIL deal at Central Missouri State or some such next year.
And we need some W's. We could be a bubble team.

He can also bring a lawn chair and a picnic blanket and camp out in the lane as long as he wants.
Y'all calm down. We lost a close one on the road to Michigan State, who appears to have been severely underrated, and a close neutral site game to #4 Duke with massive help from the refs. We have holes in our team right now but that's why you schedule these kinds of games.
Winning 2/3 of Louisville, Texas Tech, and Houston will get us back on the right path. Lose 2 of those 3 and the SEC schedule will be a fight for a double-digit seed.

Quote from: Barton Fink on Nov 27, 2025, 09:50 PMWe would go undefeated if we had Boozer at the 5.
He's the missing piece for our team. I doubt he'd get the benefit of the doubt from the refs like he does with Duke, but he's still probably the top college guy right now. I'm waiting on this supposed Kenny Payne magic when it comes to big men. Last year and this year we just have very little post presence.

I'm waiting on this supposed Kenny Payne magic when it comes to big men. Last year and this year we just have very little post presence.
The announcers mentioned last night that is our one missing piece is a dominant or at least better than avg 5. Unfortunately in today's game style there aren't a lot of them out there.
we're having to rely on the freshmen too much. they're good, but the dudes that came back ought to be playing much better. maybe some chemistry stuff going on.
expecting brazile to play like a under the rim big just leads to frustration. he's not that guy. he's having to do it because pringle and ewin get pushed around and are slow getting down the court.
I love Richmond's energy and he's a tremendous asset to our team BUT I think Cal needs to sit him in late game situations when we are trying to protect the lead. He is not a good ball handler. His late turnover last night when we had the ball and were up by 5 killed us. The game turned right there..His late turnover against Texas Tech in the Sweet Sixteen last year was the death knell too.
I know Wagner can't shoot, but I'd have him in the game instead of Richmond down the stretch for his ball handling, driving, and ability to run the team along with Acuff.
Knox sucked for the first month or two last season also. Maybe he's just a slow starter. If he comes on strong later in the year like he did last season, we could still go far.
We're going to be mediocre until Knox kicks it into gear. Like last half of season last year.
We've also lost close games to two of the most physical inside teams in the country.
Need to pack BWA for the Louisville game. Should be a good one.
We need a good big man inside that can score and be physical. We don't have that right now and teams that do will abuse us underneath. Cal's teams usually live and die by the three. And they usually die in the tournament when they go cold. We are decent right now, but we still need to have an inside presence. We need a Boozer.
We don't need a big man that scores. We need a big guy that doesn't get runt over by the other teams big guy.

At least we don't need a point guard anymore.
Can we not recruit a big dude off the football team just to be a hammer inside? I mean, surely there is some huge dude that can play a little since they aren't worth a shit at football, maybe they are actually good at basketball?

Yeah I wondered when I saw you on TV and figured he had to be related somehow, as that was a later amendment to the Geneva conventions regarding men in matching shirts. You either have to be on the same team, in the military, or father/son. The later amendment by a few northern states allows for father/son in law, but I was never a fan of that amendment.
Way to represent though! I was lying on my mother's couch watching the game and when I saw you I said, "look honey, there's the guy woopig replaced Rick B with. He's retired Air Force too."
