Dear Portland,
Fuck you

Somebody remind me, how is Muss and the mighty USC Trojans doing in the tourney?

we scored 191 points in two days playing six guys (sealy did get a minute in each).

Five appearances in 6 years after not making one since the 90's. Feels really good to be a (basketball) Razorback fan
We've been the beneficiary of some brackets that setup wonderfully for us to get to the SWEET 16 but also there's been a few salty teams like High Point. They are probably comparable to that Oral Roberts team we had to play a few years back.

Which raises the question-- why doesn't Calipari play Sealy more when he has a chance? He always says it is his fault the guy hasn't played more.
Not really last night, but Thursday he could have given him some minutes.

Good for the Sweet 16 and golf.

No kidding! It's freaking hard to make it to the Sweet 16 5 out of the last 6 years.
Our fans man...
I see everyone talk about our lack of defense. And it's true, but you guys realize this is a strategy don't you? Since we lost Knox and since the Alabama game where we lost because we fouled out too many players, we have seriously avoided fouling people, particularly in the first half. We let guys get to the rim and if we contest at all it is in a way so as not to foul. Then if we aren't in foul trouble you see it tighten up a bit in the last five minutes or so and suddenly things get contested a bit more and we get a block, a steal or two, and they miss shots they've been making all night.
We are good enough offensively to take some punches and stay in the game. But we have to keep our guys on the floor.
You are 100% correct. We can't afford to be an aggressive defensive team with a 6/7 man roster. It would risk taking key players out of the game.
Acuff gets a bad rep on defense. I don't think he's a great defender but I think he's better than he shows for that very reason.
Last night against High Point and the Vandy game are two examples of us putting the screws down on defense in the last five minutes.

Not good but he does have the 6th best recruiting class in the country with three 5 stars.

Hey now, show some class. Don't have sour grapes and shit on your old coach like Kentucky does.
LOL, j/k. Fuck Muss.
yeah, muss will be okay. looks like some of that socal money is making its way into his program.

Nah, Muss righted the ship. He will always get credit for that.
Barkley said something the other day that gave me hope. He said there are 4 teams in the tourney with a lot of big men. But, he said, if a team has a point guard that can control the floor, score, and not turn the ball over, they have a good chance to beat these teams. We have that. I don't know if he was referencing us, but it sure sounded like it.
Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Thursday, Saturday with our injuries.
I feel like that hasn't received the attention it should from the talking heads.
Quote from: Sus-Scrofa on Mar 22, 2026, 10:53 AMNah, Muss righted the ship. He will always get credit for that.
Agree. However, that '23 team was better than their record. I think he had 1 foot out the door. He does deserve to eat some shit for that.

Oh, certainly. I'll be forever grateful for that, and there's no way we ever get Cal w/out where he brought us back to. But still, he didn't have to handle his last season here the way he did. You can appreciate someone and still not like them.
I had several people over the years that worked for me and I appreciated the job they did while on the clock, but personally did not care for them and would never have spent time socially w/ them except for the annual Christmas party.

i look at that roster and outside of battle and mark, to me it was shit. mahki mitchell 3rd in scoring? menifield was a huge reach, graham never panned out, and then el ellis, donijay harris, davenport, and fall were next to worthless.
rumor was the boosters had had enough of muss. no interaction with them and when he did manage to find the time he was pretty much an asshole. his attitude later in the season did have an effect on the team for sure, but in retrospect, that transfer class overall was pretty bad.
It wasn't an elite roster but ut wasn't as bad as the results. Really needed a PG.
So we are definitely playing Thursday, but we don't know what time.
1st game Thursday tips off at 6:10 Central, I'm guessing since we're on the West Coast, it won't be our region. I'm guessing we'll either be the 7:30 game (1st in San Jose) or the 9:45 game.
Part of Muss's problem his last year was he didn't use the early non-conference schedule to figure out his rotations. There was some talent there, but a guy might not play an entire game, play 30+ minutes the next, then have 3 minutes the next. There was no consistency. That doesn't make the players bad players, it makes Muss a bad coach. That year was 100% on him.
Letting Devo come and go as he pleased for 2 years didn't help either.
I think he was butt hurt about the lack of support for NIL knowing it was gonna take deeper pockets and evidently rubbed some big wigs the wrong way. That might have been before or after lifting his skirt.
Either way Cal came in with the full support of Tyson and didn't stop there he worked the big donors. Fairly early in the season it seemed Muss had checked out and there were already discussions happening between Cal and Tyson that likely progressed.
The only thing I'm confident of is our AD had little or nothing to do with any of it.

Not trying to be an ass, because I do believe we're going to keep being a regular presence there again.
Got the 8:45 time slot again and we're 8.5 point underdogs. I'm already trying to convince myself that we'll beat them.

I'm half way there. Already convinced myself that Arizona isn't as good as their reputation.
I think we destroy them.
Then there'll be some soul crushing disaster in the next round.
Arizona looked beatable last night. This year is weird. I watched AZ put a beatdown on Bama. No one who watched Florida beat us would have thought they could lose to Iowa. But they did and AZ didn't look overwhelming last night.

I only watched the last couple of minutes of the Kansas/St John's game yesterday, but in the last 15 or so seconds Kansas had FOUR fouls to give to make it tough for SJU to get the ball up court...meaning they had only been whistled for two in the first 19:45 or so of the second half.
Why can't the SEC get some of those guys to call its games and let Shows and Lindsay fuck off to the Big 12, the Sun, or some other place where their overofficiating will be appreciated?
I firmly believe that more consistent officiating is a big factor in why we're still playing despite only having six usable guys through the first weekend.
I think we only had 2 called on us in the first half against HP. 9 in the whole game. With only 6 players, we couldn't have asked for anything better.
In the middle of February, Kansas beat them by 4 and Texas Tech beat them by 3 in back to back games. Those are their losses. This team is good. We can beat them.

We're going to have 9 fouls in the 1st 10 minutes. We're going to get boat-raced in the 2nd half. Foul trouble and no depth is going to catch up to us.

Wait until game time to announce that Knox and Pringle are good to go
Is Knox even a possibility? I expect Pringle to play.
I want to win it all, but if not, I can take losing to any team that's not Texas or St Johns
Quote from: Pig Benis on Mar 23, 2026, 01:35 PMIs Knox even a possibility? I expect Pringle to play.
Pringle has 5 fouls to give if nothing else.

pringle going thru drills today. looked to be moving fine.
semedo is one tall mf.
Plenty of times it seems the refs sorta swallow those whistles when it gets down to the Sweet 16 and beyond.
Just realized that the only team that has outscored Arkansas in the first 2 rounds was Michigan with 101 in rd 1 and 95 in rd 2 for 196 total points.
Arkansas has 191
Iowa State 190
Purdue 183
Illinois 181
Alabama has 180
No one else in the Sweet 16 has 180 total points (Florida had 186)
Iowa has the lowest total points scored at 140.
