Welcome to conference play. Let's not start 0-5 this year. The Hogs are a 2.5 point favorite. Should be a helluva crowd.
we'll get a good look at ament. averaging 15/7.
With new years in between, it feels like we haven't played in a month.

Nah, more like 30 days.

So far he hasn't lived up to his billing. If we can't hit a few 3's it will be a good day for the Hogs.

Yes please. Where's my jersey coach?
Build the fuckin statue
Come the fuck on it's a 20 point game with a minute left
These refs are sure reffing until the end in a 20 point game
Do our games ever start on time

If we don't do this before Nolan dies, I may riot in front of bwa when he does. Maybe protest is a better word. Goddamn shame his wife didn't get to see us honor him like that.
Tip at 10 after
jimmy's eyes are bloodshot. alcohol or weed?
what a play by wagner
Dang, thought Brazile had that
0-3, all 3's. not a good sign. that we are settling for 3's in a slow game.
We tried something besides a 3 and it got sent back to the second row
For like 25 years over a half dozen coaches we just insist on starting games out in a hole
We look like hammered dog shit
Who are we booing when he has the ball?
Quote from: Son of Spam on Jan 03, 2026, 02:15 PMWho are we booing when he has the ball?
the orange one
i guess acuff took that timeout personally
Damn!
There's the intensity we need
we still have not subbed. strange.
literally 5 seconds after i hit post
Their big guys look like linebackers next to ours.
i wish we could get a big man that does things like that
this turned into a pretty damned good game after cal's 1st timeout.
Quote from: Pig Benis on Jan 03, 2026, 02:23 PMTheir big guys look like linebackers next to ours.
Everyone's do. We needs some mens.
We need others to score besides Acuff.
we're playing like we hate losing more than we like winning. finally.
Pringle!
Pringle and that guy are straight fighting under the rim
thomas: fuck you!
Pringles balls dropped
goddamn brazile!
Brazile straight up filthy with the follow ups
ewin tips in their bucket
Two point Ewing for Tenny
thomas!
what an exhange of plays
Ewing wanted that dunk bad
Ref can't find his whistle. Fine, as long as it stays both ways.
Quote from: Sus-Scrofa on Jan 03, 2026, 02:44 PMEwing wanted that dunk bad
Was there no foul? I am here live.
This is like a heavyweight fight, haymaker after haymaker
Its "Ewin" fellas, no g.
such a ticky tack foul
We just can't seem to extend the lead.
that was borderline charge into brazile. the offensive player is not allowed to initiate contact that gives him an advantage...
Guards are suspect so far
oh, acuff...fucking pissed in his eye.
Brazile looks gassed
had a little window where we could have pulled away. 27% from three and seven turnovers is not optimal.
Quote from: vegashog on Jan 03, 2026, 03:00 PMhad a little window where we could have pulled away. 27% from three and seven turnovers is not optimal.
Yeah we've been sloppy with the ball. Had a chance to pull away when Ewin got stuffed and they came back with a 3. He should have given that one up, 2 on 1.
Quote from: TC on Jan 03, 2026, 02:58 PMBrazile looks gassed
probably because we ain't getting shit from ewin and pringle. he's played as many minutes as the other two guys combined.
We could have played a lot better. I would not say we have played very well yet.
Stellar from the line... >:(
Quote from: TC on Jan 03, 2026, 02:46 PMIt's "Ewin" fellas, no g.
Thanks for the correction TG!
Quote from: mr.zorak on Jan 03, 2026, 03:06 PMStellar from the line... >:(
The second chance rebounds right at the basket are killer though. Stop those and Acuff stops turning it over and we should be ok.
Best Jimmy interview of all time
Raked his arm. Out on TB.
that looked like a clean block by billy
This might not be Brazile's game from the 3 point line.
They are just going inside all the time now. I have no idea what our offense is
bullshit
Wow. Phantom call.
that's 3 fouls on billy that should have all been no calls
"That's not a foul; that's just SEC basketball."
Bruh, non-fouls being called fouls against us IS a key part of SEC basketball.
I couldn't be a coach. I'd either ring up millions in fines or spend some time in jail.
Maybe both.
who are the ladies sitting behind barnes? hello, how you doin?
That white haired lady in the expensive seats probably has a coat made of puppies
I want Acuff and Thomas taking every shot from here on out.
We need some BIG men
Nobody but the two freshmen are pissing a drop.
Acuff.
Dat boy good.
correct call...the offensive player intiated all the contact.
They are killing us on the inside
We had better pull our heads out or we are gonna lose this one.
Quote from: The Whyte Boar on Jan 03, 2026, 03:32 PMWe had better pull our heads out or we are gonna lose this one.
i think we'll wear them out...they'll get tired in the last 6 minutes and struggle to score. but maybe so will we. this is a great game.
Quote from: BASS on Jan 03, 2026, 03:33 PMi think we'll wear them out...they'll get tired in the last 6 minutes and struggle to score. but maybe so will we. this is a great game.
I guess. I don't have the nerves for it anymore. I'd rather win by 20 than watch a "great" game.
The 2nd chance points are ridiculous.
weak foul
We still don't have that big man underneath.
I think they'll knock their last three down to a two
knox needs to stop loving the 3
Not a new phenomenon, but it's still almost always the ref farthest away who makes a ticky tack foul call.
Uh travelled
Quote from: Son of Spam on Jan 03, 2026, 03:39 PMWe still don't have that big man underneath.
not somebody you trust to win a one on one match up with another big. we're soft. we need some isaiah butcher and roosevelt wallace guys. or a big o. rip.
Somebody other than the freshmen is going to have to make a shot.
Quote from: The Whyte Boar on Jan 03, 2026, 03:41 PMSomebody other than the freshmen is going to have to make a shot.
I trust Knox...last year's version
i don't mean to disrespect all our bigs. brazile is playing his role perfectly. but ewin and pringle should have some bad ass motherfucker attitudes and play style. they're more like tea time with crumpets attitude.
come on bud walton, don't let me down.
I haven't seen a straight up dribble stop dribble again double dribble in a long time
Quote from: Sus-Scrofa on Jan 03, 2026, 03:46 PMI haven't seen a straight up dribble stop dribble again double dribble in a long time

Quote from: Sus-Scrofa on Jan 03, 2026, 03:46 PMI haven't seen a straight up dribble stop dribble again double dribble in a long time
And the ref called it a travel. Lol
I thought coaches could only challenge "out on who" calls in the last 2 minutes of halves.
zorak, i hope we win, but y'all have played well on the road. good game so far.
DJ hasn't pissed a drop today.
Teams with big men inside who can score are going to rape us.

There was one game (Duke?) where it looked like Ewin's balls had dropped, but they went back up inside since then.

like dookie?
TB can't buy a bucket
finally a good defensive play inside
hey, ament, that was all ball...
for the first half of the contact.
time to step on their throat

houston
come one bwa!
Jimmy never shuts up. Can you imagine having to spend the holidays with that dude?
No 3pt point plays please, play smart
Quote from: BASS on Jan 03, 2026, 03:57 PMhouston
I was thinking about Louisville actually, but yes Houston was better.
He's playing a bit more aggressive today in the last few minutes.
ament hooked brazile. he didn't get much advantage, but he hooked him.
Wait for the result then blow the whistle.
Fuck you.
Bullshit call
Quote from: Thin Red Swine on Jan 03, 2026, 04:01 PMWait for the result then blow the whistle.
Fuck you.
It just means more
Quit dribbling underneath and just go up.
Five minutes no basket
acuff! you motherfucker!
Doug Shows with the reminder he knows which team we are.
Acuff just doing All American things out there.
Almost looks as if half the team is battling illness. They seem winded.
Quote from: TC on Jan 03, 2026, 03:58 PMJimmy never shuts up. Can you imagine having to spend the holidays with that dude?
It would be a never-ending stream of new cliches he's trying out. Over Christmas this year he was coming up with dandy's like "NASCAR curl," "a hungry dog moves," "he's got a big valentine," and "rip and run."
Ewin put four of them on the ground
knox! you're my motherfucker!
Knox!
Lol
Defense creating offense. Love it.
Knox with the off-balance 3!
acuff! stop, please don't hurt 'em.
Hahahaha
Jeebus.
We're gonna run out of daggers.
Gentlemen...we have ourselves an Allen Iverson.

Crowd sounds great.
I love Corey and Mayberry, but Acuff is the best PG we've had. Corey was tough and a beast, great leader, but Acuff is next level.
Get Richmond back in

agreed
Looks like Ewin has worked on his FTs.
unfortunately, we'll only get one year of acuff and thomas. could you imagine them in the 90's environment, where they're here until they're jr's?
Quote from: Son of Spam on Jan 03, 2026, 04:15 PMLooks like Ewin has worked on his FTs.
he was 6/6 before his one bad game
Had you told me Brazile would be 3/10 and 0-5 from 3 I would've said we lose.
3-3 in quad 1 games.
2 of those wins at home.

As long as they were here and not Kentucky
good game fighting zorak's. y'all have a good team. just ran into a buzzsaw on the road.
Good game guys. Acuff is a special player. We had that drought second half and just couldn't catch up. I'm afraid that may be our story of the season. We've done that in other games we've struggled in.
Knox and Thomas both +20 today. Ewin +16

Thanks Bass. If you all had hit a few more threes the first half it would have been a rout. Hope you all keep playing well. I will definitely be watching.
Oh and F Kentucky .
stats are weird for this one.
they had more fast break points, points in the paint, steals, shot better from the floor and from three, and almost doubled us up in assists.
we had more rebounds and killed it at the line. oh, and we has darrius acuff.
Quote from: Hogfan58 on Jan 03, 2026, 04:13 PMI love Corey and Mayberry, but Acuff is the best PG we've had. Corey was tough and a beast, great leader, but Acuff is next level.
Yeah, I said three games ago he was playing better than any PG we've had for that stretch. Now, I just think he is the best we've had. If he just got selfish and tried to score, I think he could average 40. He is so smooth and shifty.
I agree with whoever said we may have some sick kids. Acuff never takes himself out of the game. The fighting Zoraks looked pretty good. They'll beat some folks, especially down low.
always and forever fuck kentucky basketball. and everything associated with the state of texas from their colleges to their cow shit. and duke basketball.

They have the same demeanor, no trash talk, just business and doing their thing. Acuff is just better at it.

Outrebounded them.
Quote from: Snorts on Jan 03, 2026, 06:54 PMOutrebounded them.
cal said going into the game their average rebounding margin was +15.
It is nice to not be punked by a big rebounding team.
I really like the way Acuff is so economical with his moves. It's simple A to B. He has a lot less of this flashy one on one playground looking stuff than a lot of other guards today. It is simply, "I'm going there and shooting and you can't stop me" mind of thing. He is just so smooth snd quick. He does with a tilt of his shoulder what other guys do with half a dozen behind the back and through the legs dribbles. His step backs are so smooth it doesn't even look like he did one. When he drives the lane he will dip his shoulder then suddenly stop and elevate with a fall away. He is just so good and I think underrated a little by the national guys because of his lack of unnecessary flash.
