Georgia Is Not On My Mind

[Trigger7672]

Beck was, by the slimmest of technical margins, our 4th leading scorer at 8.8 points per game.  Dillard was 3rd at 8.9.  So really Beck was tied for 3rd. 

Corliss 20.4
Thurman 15.9
Dillard 8.9
Beck 8.8
McDaniel 8.1
Stewart 8

Beck definitely played twice as many minutes as Dillard did though. I'd say Barton's ranking of 6th best scoring option is about right.

Beck had two daughters who played for FHS. The oldest one was a tall post player, didn't play anything like him. The youngest daughter is exactly like her dad. Just a mean point guard who ran the whole show. When she was a little kid I would see her dribbling a basketball from her house to the Boys and Girls Club and back sometimes.

Seems like half of Beck's points came at the line.

I just looked it up and was surprised to see Beck only attempted 11 threes our championship season. Made 5 of them. I knew he wasn't a volume shooter but that is less than 1 every 3 games.

[Doc Hogaday]

Beck is the one you want fighting with you in a dark alley. He didn't have to score, unless he had to, but he ran the offense and team. We need a Corey Beck. Corliss would probably say the same.

Beck, P.Bev, Thiero, Corliss, and Portis would be a team no one would enjoy playing.

We wouldn't lose the fight that's for sure. Throw in a Butch Morris as a sixth man.

You taking Butch or Rosie Wallace in a fight?

[Barton Fink]

Todd Day would act a fool with that roster behind him.

[Hognrock]

You taking Butch or Rosie Wallace in a fight?

The answer is yes. Need a regulator. But I'm not taking either if I'm on the other side.

It was the 2nd half last night that won me over.  I saw guys diving on the floor.  I saw guys fighting against bigger guys for rebounds.  I saw laser focus at the free throw line.  I saw better help defense. 

Basically, they fought like wild Hogs.  That's who we are.  And when I see it, I know it. 

Are we the most talented?  No. Never have been and never will be.  But do we have more heart?  Last night we did, especially in the 2nd half.

I agree with the trigger guy about an identity.  Thiero and Knox exemplify who we are now.  They became the mens we needed last night.

I see pain in your future.

I still don't get how Arkansas can shoot so awful each season and the other team is out there doing the river dance and making circus from deep and everything goes in. And we'll always always always leave the white guy open in the corner.

[red death]

When we needed it most, the national championship game, Beck had 15 points, 10 rebounds and 4 assists.

He carried us all game.  Beck was definitely one of our top scorers.  Without his offense, we don't have the greatest moment of our Razorback lives. 

I think because he was so unselfish and a team player it gets lost. But he had to take over at times as the offense and he did.

[red death]

I see pain in your future.   

Haha.  Yeah you'd think after 45 years I wouldn't keep falling for it. 

I guess I enjoy having my heart ripped out.

So is it worth watching the 2nd half or should I just wait for the DVD?

[PorkyPig]

Jeez, if we could string together some shots we could kick someone's ass.  We get decent looks.

SI is running a story on it. Knox is on the cover. You can read it.

No thanks I get my stories from Athlon and Sporting News

[Thin Red Swine]

Tried to tell y'all. Wins are coming.

Could you go ahead and tell us when the next one is gonna happen?

[HughJasole]

Goddammit. Maybe at Texas.

other than the Missouri game we're playing teams "close" but aren't making what I like to call....winning plays. Exhibit A was in this last game where Big Z passed on a open(ish) shot with the clock running down. Exhibit B is Big Z passed the ball to Davis who then was too deep under the basket to make a real play so other than tossing it to a wide open teammate in the corner of the court he instead goes for the hip check salesmanship which in turned failed badly.

There are those little plays like that that happen thru out the game. Missed opportunities, missed free throws. Not getting to the line enough..whatever it is we just aren't doing it. Moreover we don't seem like a heady enough bunch to figure out what is or isn't working. Cal looks like he's planning his retirement there at courtside.

Also I'd be down for the A-State coach whenever Cal goes...or at least kick the tires.

Also fouling dudes taking 3s on back-to-back trips to turn a 6-point lead into a tie game with a dead ball.
