it needs it's own thread. fuck these bozo clowns. i hope acuff goes ape shit, get some more of the recognition that he derserves.
its going to be after 9:00 before tipoff. 8:39 left in the bama ole miss game + the 30 minute break.
We should be used to this, our games never start on time
Just had the thought of buying an Acuff jersey and apparently you can't get one through the hog heaven store. Why not? Sell them and give the players a cut.
and the winner gets an ole miss team playing its 4th game in 4 days.
the door is open for a move up in the seeding. gotta take care of business.
let's run the land thieve's legs off.
Arkansas big heads crashing the post game
tipoff set for 9:10 central
Baseball certainly got things fired up. Lets keep it going
Pat not being subtle with the red outfit.

You expect too much of the program.
Still can't get baseball gear with this years Norm Day pattern either.

you'd think selling jersey's with their "N"ame on them would be one of the easiest streams of revenue for "N"IL.
"hey, come to school here, sell 1,000 jerseys, you get $25 each. nice little bonus, eh?"
unbelievable
Not going to give Brazile the foul calls today
HTF was that not a foul on Oklahoma on the rebound?
not a great start. neither team can shoot worth a shit. a shame we can't take advantage of it and we're down 1.
We're just getting the missed-FG streak out of the way early.
I don't think OU can keep this pace up the whole game.
Quote from: aaron on Mar 13, 2026, 09:30 PMI don't think OU can keep this pace up the whole game.
i don't either. they already look tired, it's why they can't shoot.
Acuff has 15 of our 19, we need somebody else too.
We can't rebound worth a shit
Darius the Great!
hey motherfucking zeus. oh noes. we suck again.
If anyone else besides Darius would pitch in we could pull away.
Darius 18
Rest of the team, what the fuck are you doing?
All the other schools have a full dance team.
We brought... 4 girls.
What's up with that?
TB is going to have to sit the last 6.5 minutes of the half
Quote from: aaron on Mar 13, 2026, 09:30 PMI don't think OU can keep this pace up the whole game.
agree
Playing with a different ball for some stupid reason.
Stop with the drone cam
jesus, pringle. and can someone step in front of their spider monkey?
we trying to set a season record for turnovers?
Going in the lane is not working for Thomas.
Every loose ball is going to OU! Hogs getting out-rebounded 20 to 10
89-72 OU...good night.
What the hell, Thomas? Get your head out of your ass!
They haven't called anything in any of the games I have watched so far like they are calling on us this game.
This looks like it's going to be " one of those games"
1 guy balling out, the other 4 can't do anything.
That was the worst minute of basketball by both teams I've seen in a long time
This is what watching the WNBA must be like.
Poor Thomas hasnt pissed a drop tonight.
Could have been a better half, but could also have been a lot worse.
We're in good shape.
Jeebus kid
Now we're in better shape
Acuff with a nice close on the half. 21 points.
Crazy Oklahoma has only been whistled for 6 fouls.
And Acuff hits the buzzer three to pull us within 2 at half.

0-5 with 3 TOs. Ouch!
atrocious shooting. and we're getting killed on the boards. still, down only three.
brazile, pringle, and ewin have eight shots between them. cal's got to get that figured out.

Down 2
Last 3 by Acuff was a lot like the 3 by Mayberry in Austin.
Do we have no one who can do anything about Michael Jordan **checks notes** Nigel Fucking Pack?
Pack is a damn good PG. He was great at KSU and Miami.
Quote from: Show-Me Hog on Mar 13, 2026, 10:13 PMDo we have no one who can do anything about Michael Jordan **checks notes** Nigel Fucking Pack?
I'm waiting for them to put in a random white guy who lights us up.
To think this team WITHOUT Acuff won their last basketball game. That's hard to believe based on tonight.
Billy needs to SLOW DOWN! He looks like he is trying to run in three diffent directions at the same time.
Okie is just trying to give us the lead and we won't take it
2 steps forward, 3 steps back.
I've never seen a player go from great to awful as quickly as Billy has.
Thomas whipped it out and pissed a drop
David Lee's ladders would be better defensively inside than this effort
I think it's about to turn.
The right way
Moser sees it turning.
Finally more than a one possession lead.
A filet stuffed with blue cheese? What a faggort
Terrible call on DJ
Weak foul call there, defense so bad that no defender was even close enough to foul him
How does the Sec network make any money when all they show is espn promos instead of commercials?
We have to be getting out rebounded by a billion.
Sure feels like we lose this one.
Pack keeps getting his head hit.

Up 2 with the ball. Let's extend!
There we go BR3!
NOW IS THE TIME. But they'll come out of this time out with some play for a dunk.

Don't discount your double reverse positive jinx abilities.
A week ago I was fully on the "this tourney doesn't matter" team.
Now it's "frick it, let's beat them all."
Fucking awful
If his name was Booser they'd let it go
Quote from: Borenutz on Mar 13, 2026, 11:07 PMDon't discount your double reverse positive jinx abilities.
lol. Fair enough.
Holy shit what a walk
That was awful
Acuff is simply the best player to ever come through the UofA.
Taking a damn stroll around the corner and back.
Don't do anything stupid
If they try to turn the NCAA into the NBA with these walks, I'm done. That shit was awful.
Weak ass call
lol. We get a charge called, which never happens anymore, and a walk that Neil Armstrong would be jealous of, doesn't get called.
Get points
I'm too old for this.
What a shot!!
Hole Lee shit
Acuff is a bad mofo
Acuff...Money!
Just fucking crazy. Acuff again.
Bring on the Rebel Landshark Black Bear Tads tomorrow!
GOAT
Wow. Just Acuff wow. Dude finds new ways to impress.
Acuff is otherworldly

What a push off underneath. Fuck the refs.
Nice win boys!
That's a winner!
Whew, Pig Sooie!
Tough win.
Quote from: BleedinRed on Mar 13, 2026, 11:26 PMWhat a push off underneath. Fuck the refs.
No shit. Blatantly pushed Billy down. No call.
ugly win is a win.
hopefully we come out a lot sharper tomorrow.
Never in doubt
Double header in baseball tomorrow just announced. Big day for Arkansas sports.
Wish we were playing Bama tomorrow for revenge but I'll take beating rebel black bear land sharts as a consolation prize.
Watch the replay of that last OU three point attempt. Number 5 picked Billy up at half court, set a moving pushing screen on Billy, rode him pushing him all the way down to the basket, then two hand shoved him out of bounds to get the rebound...with no call whatsoever. It was justice that he fumbled the rebound.

And we all know how that turns out.
We shut Pack down in the second half. Both Thomas and Richmond played him. Other than the obvious of Darius Acuff Jr., that was the difference in winning and losing.

I'd add to that our 2nd half rebounding. We were -10 at one point, and ended up out rebounding them by 1. Brazile ended up with 12/11 and was the only player on both benches who ended up with a double-double.
If we end up playing Florida in the championship game, I'd think the seeding for the tourney would be set already regardless of outcome.
They're just such a bad matchup I'd rather the hogs play anybody other than Florida from here on out. They might win it all again.
Trip report.
Downtown Nashville is fucking crowded on a Friday night. Like, French Quarter and Bourbon Street crowded. That's the best comparison I can think of. It is such an entertainment and night life district. Now, more than any other downtown I've ever seen. Those party buses with a bunch of thirty-somethings on them were all over.
My old ass stayed at a Hyatt Place down in Brentwood. At midnight, I saw three other groups in the hotel. All of them were SEC tournament related. Two groups of Bama fans and one group of Hog fans. All up about my age.
Kentucky fans were at the games but quiet. Bama and Arkansas were kind of tied for second most. It's hard to tell which is which with the red A stuff until you get up close.
I got tickets for the Friday night session for $90 and after we won, bought for today for $50. Seems like a good price to me to see Florida versus Vanderbilt and an Arkansas tournament game.
Oh the Swahili food report.
On the way down, ate at Patti's 1880s Settlement on Kentucky Lake. It's a "known" place kind of like a Cracker Barrel on steroids. My catfish perfectly seasoned but thin. Wife's pork cutlet delicious and large. Coconut cake for dessert was Wal Mart bakery level shit. One bite and done. Should have gone for their pies, they are known for pie.
In the arena I had wings, 6 large wings (drummies were almost drumstick size) for $7.99. That's about restaurant prices so a good deal and they were good. Better deal than a dry chicken strip basket for $15. And oddly for a place where Johnsonville brats sponsors the big scoreboard, no stand sold brats. Hot dogs only.

yeah, the game tomorrow won't matter to anyone but ole miss, if they make it there, as far as seeding goes. one of the committee guys said the quiet part out loud a couple of years ago that 99% of the bracket is set late saturday night. any movement after that will be for the teams that steal an auto qualifier spot and bump someone on the last four in line.
still think we can get a 4 seed by winning today. and winning the sec would be nice.
This one finally has us on the 4 line.

BTW Acuff's shot from the corner on the inbounds to go up 4 happened right in front of where I was at the time. Then later I saw it on replay. His angle and the situation made it one of the more impressive clutch shots I have ever seen. I mean not quite up with Scotty for the national championship but definitely NBA level elite.
I used to think the TV shots from mid-court towards the basket, then rotating the other direction when the ball came the other way was the worst viewing experience. The weird drone angles they are using now are worse, if that's possible.
I had the privilege of seeing Moncrief, Delph, and Brewer play at LSU way back when. We played at LSU and they had a hell of a team. We beat them and after the game, some fans were saying they would trade their whole team for those three guys. Delph and Brewer were like Dillards with even more accuracy. Seems like they were shooting from mid court. Acuff is a generational talent, but those guys were also. Acuff is clutch and probably the best pure shooter I have seen.
Sad Kentucky fans checking out today is Glorious!
Ticket prices tumbled.
Not many Ole Miss fans around.

and his explanation on why he chose to catch and shoot it shows his next level thinking. it wasn't because of the shot clock, he said if he went further out into the corner he would have been trapped. he anticipated what the defense would do and knew that that was the best shot.
and i thought it was cool when cal said despite all the nil he got, he doesn't even have a car.

There is a place in the gulch called St Vito Focacceria that is owned by a Hog fan who posts regularly on the On3 board. We haven't tried it yet but it gets pretty good ratings and the owner seems like a good guy. You might give it a shot if you're looking for a place.
Starting a rewatch. It'll be less stressful.

He knows in a few months he'll be shopping for chauffeurs and private chefs.
It was an elite shot though. Jordanesque with that elevation and fade.

I just can't do it any more. Ill have it on with the sound turned down and just glance up every now and then. Last night I glanced up just in time to watch the Oklahoma guy take seven steps before hitting the guy in the corner for a three to cut it to four. I put my head back down into my IPad until it was over.

The only weakness in Acuff's game is his defense. He's not a bad defender, but he's not one of our best. Not a knock on him. I remember when we played Indiana St in the Elite 8 and Larry Bird was killing us and Eddie finally put Sid on him and he locked him down. Eddie said after the game that he waited to long to do that. I think Sid is all around the better player, but barely. He could score, rebound, defend guards to forwards.

His only real competition for the GOAT is Sidney. He immediately was one of the best players in the league and I suspect Acuff will be also. As just a college player, Corliss is in the race.
Edited to add: The 78 team would have easily won the championship if there had been a 3 point line.

I don't think his defense is quite as bad as first thought either. If you are having to expend 40 minutes a game like that offensively, the defense is going to naturally suffer. I bet he improves at the next level.
