I'm deep in the brown water and it's technically game day so might as well go ahead and get this started. Hogs are 1.5 point underdogs. The total is 171.5 so Vegas expects this to be an uptempo game...or a foul fest.
I don't feel great about this one because Auburn's backs are to the wall and it's a must win for them. Not to mention a great home court advantage. They'll be pissed after that game against the Aggots so we'll have to match the intensity but it really isn't a must win for us. That's my way of saying if we lose it isn't my fault.
Having said all that we have Darius Acuff. Let's steal one and keep the streak going.

Maybe your best work yet.
Go Hogs!
Fuck these refs
I have a feeling we'll roll them. So it's my fault if we lose.
It's up to 2.5 now
9:30 left in this zona tcu game. We'll probably start on the u or the ocho.
Nm
The screen says the ocho.
Damn. Gotta go to the app to see the start.
5:10
We never start on time on the channel indicated. Ever. No matter the sport.
Scrolling my app, there's a million games, but not the Arkansas v Auburn game.
Ugh. The app says the game doesn't start until tomorrow at 5 and won't start the broadcast. Fix your shit Disney. Oh wait somehow I found the relevant for the Auburn game on the 18th but can't find today's in the search.
Still, fix your shit Disney.

Of course they fucked it a couple of minutes in but then the main icon was there.
Pringle's miss and the missed lob to Brazile.
Want those two back.
Looking sloppy early
"we got Acuff"
No inside game so far. All threes.
Someone needs to explain the acceptable shades of red to Cal.
So why did Daddy Pearl retire? I missed all of that.
We look like ass but if we can stop looking like ass we might win this.

Goddammit bass, you stupid motherfucker
They're scoring at will
no interior defense.
Picture perfect hook and hold Nick
We are shooting all threes. If we can't get inside, we are cooked.
They aren't going to score 30 every ten minutes
Good half court defense
Thomas, bad mother
Keep it inside/around 10. We'll make a run at some point.
Who is this piece of shit cocksucking announcer?
He's talked about nothing but Auburn.
Does he work for Auburn? Auburn this. Auburn that. My Ole Miss friend, who doesn't give a shit about either, is sitting here and he's like I haven't heard him say anything at all about Arkansas. Just what Auburn needs to do...
Too many 3s
Lol
Ride the hot hand. Let Ewin shoot lol.
Have we forgotten how to drive to the basket?
That guy traveled twice
How many games have we been down in the first half this year? Seems like several. Usually not at the half though.
Damn. We're playing really good half court defense and it doesn't matter.
No defense and shooting threes. Not a great plan.
Let's get it back to single digits by half
We've taken several body blows but we're still standing. Need to get it under ten by half.
Auburn's playing us to shoot 3s. Cutting off the lanes.
A few minutes ago they said we were 6-16 from 3. That's way too many this early.
Quote from: Son of Spam on Jan 10, 2026, 05:52 PMNo defense and shooting threes. Not a great plan.
We were playing pretty good D up until the last minute.
Edit: we are not playing D.
One offensive rebound. Can't win with that.

I'm a damn curse
47 points before halftime is not an indication of generally good defense, for any stretch.
Uh oh. That might've been the knockout punch.
They've just shut our offense down.
In half court we've been in their face and their still burying shots. And in transition.
I'm a ra-tard
We suck

Kozeal went duck hunting today and got his leg chewed off by a beaver. Might as well turn your attention to softball instead.
Looks bleak but we've come from 15 back to win before, I think, but I'm into the scotch a bit, I might be misremembering through Hog-colored glasses. Apologies to the great John Conlee.
More of that Pringle
That's a fucking charge. The player initiating contact gained an advantage.
Did we just decide to say fuck it?
Quote from: Sus-Scrofa on Jan 10, 2026, 05:35 PMThey aren't going to score 30 every ten minutes
Say what?
Complete collapse.
Points in the paint is 36-12. Getting out rebounded by 10. Not our day.

The dumb waitress can't figure it out of course.
Quote from: Show-Me Hog on Jan 10, 2026, 12:33 PMI kinda fear we have a Florida-Tennessee style beatdown coming today on The Plains.
They have talent, they're 0-2, their backs are against the wall, and they're at home. And we're due a clunker.
I am wrong so often, I'm hoping this is one of those times.
I put this in the wrong thread earlier.
You could feel it coming. It happens. #1 undefeated Michigan lost to 10-5 Wisconsin today. Conference play is a different animal.
Splitting the road games this week is ok in the SEC. Don't let it become a streak and this game will be forgotten.
We're going to lose because this thread wasn't stickied
Auburn won't play another game like this all year. They've played out of their mind - and we forgot how to play basketball.
Damn Hall guy is beating us all by himself, no matter what the announcers say.
Where was Karter Knox? I've given up on DJ Wagner.
There are games where our freshmen will struggle, and tonight it was up to our other guys to step up.
They didn't. If Acuff and Thomas struggle we are toast. That's not good.

The defensive metrics have been on a steady downtrend. We suck defensively.

Knox out with a hip
I think I will watch my Packers from here out with hogs on radio.
Get home and take it out on SC on Wednesday.
Some nights you just ain't got it.
I'm not overly twisted. We probably needed our ass kicked.
Auburn was teetering on the edge of a disaster of a season, and considering how they lost against A&M this game doesn't really surprise me much. We'll be fine.

I think Acuff has hit the freshman wall. He played to exhaustion last game, came back in and finished strong. Today he just played exhausted. How long does it take to get your legs back after hitting the freshman wall? Or is it terminal?
like cal said, they did whatever they wanted to, and we couldn't or wouldn't stop them. we just sucked this game.

I would bet my life savings that Bert never hops on his wife. He would crush her. Plus, that would require too much effort. I'm sure he just lays there with Jen doing her wifely cowgirl duty.

Quote from: Zoso on Jan 11, 2026, 03:07 PMWe're still gonna win the natty...right?
I don't know. That kind of game was not expected by me. I thought we were better than that. Auburn shot out of their minds and had tons of lucky bounces on rebounds and what not. It was an ass kicking by what I considered a pretty mediocre conference foe.
Quote from: Zoso on Jan 11, 2026, 03:07 PMWe're still gonna win the natty...right?
The most likely answer to that is a resounding NO. No matter the sport. Accept it. Live it. We are Arkansas!
Prior to last night I thought we were a legit top 5 team that is getting better every game. That we were already right there competing with top 5 teams, and maybe chunk up the losses to growing pains and chemistry developing, etc.
But I just can't explain or rationalize that performance. It's kind of like that Arkansas UMass game in 95. Which Calipari was coaching us to heartache in.
Just a fucking gut punch.
There will be games when the other team is having a night and we're not. Still think we'll be a 4 seed or better.

That '95 team took a number of ass beatings. The one to UMass in the opener, to Auburn and Mississippi State both on the road. Still won the SEC West, should've won the SECT and got a 2 seed and won more games than any team in college basketball that year.
Also, fuck George Zidek and Toby Bailey.
