Arkansas v. Texas Tech

[Son of Spam]

Being a Razorback fan is an experiment by the CIA to see how much pain a person can take with something they love so deeply.

Hell of a job by Cal. Didn't he have just one player when he came here and had to get a roster ready in a couple of weeks? We will be back. And I hope we get some men underneath the basket that can block and score.

[BleedinRed]

Damn

Well didn't see the game but I'm guessing looking at the box score that we didn't run some of our reserves very much and therefore we ran out of gas. You can't have a game where you get very little from Richmond, Fland, and Z. #3 I can see why he wouldn't have contributed much if he just wasn't "right"

I'm hoping next season Cal goes a bit deeper because we sure needed it through out this season.

we didnt run out of gas.  We ran out of intelligence.

Yeah, we played real dumb the last 4 minutes of regulation and ot

After Wagner jacked up that three, he should have called timeout and chewed their asses. 

[Hognrock]

It has probably already been said but I'm proud of how we fought back from 0-5 to get where we got to.

That said, it's inexplicable how we lose that game with a 16pt lead with 10 mins left 13 with 5 mins left. Aidoo missing the front end of a 1+1, Richmond's unexplainable turnover, and lack of rebounding late. 

Cal will get talent here and has said he only wants 8-9, but I would prefer he plan on 10-11 guys that can play.  Injuries will happen especially in the SEC which is very physical.

There was a lot of resilience in this group, just not in the last 5-10 minutes of game time last night.  Productive season IMO.

I think that seems to be a hallmark of anything Razorback over the last several years. We get up on somebody and all the sudden players just go stupid.

Muss teams tended to get up on teams and then slow play way the fuck down and eat clock...that worked for a while. I think Cal prefers to go with the flow.

Anyway we weren't going to win that game without some contributions from somebody like Fland or Richmond or Z....those guys gave very little was my who point from earlier. I'm sure Davis playing really well probably limited Fland's minutes. Was Fland on the court in overtime? Idk didn't see it but if he wasn't I think I would have looked down the roster and put my best most talented 5 on the court and let it rip.

[BASS]

Why didn't we foul, up three at the end of regulation before they could get the 3 point shot away?

I wonder how much of this was Cal, and how much was just not having the payroll. If you don't have any money for the 11th player on the bench, then the 11th player on your bench will be a guy who's not worth any money.

[Thin Red Swine]

Thiero is far from healthy, and Fland's shot is not there. We had no chance to beat them.

Well, that's why I said, "with a healthy Thiero and Fland."

I don't believe Fland was fully back to health either (certainly not game shape).

I think that contributed to it but I also think Cal assumed he could get away with the 9 player experiment. Sounds like the money is there to go up to 11 this time.

It is what we have done most of the season. Get a big lead, only to watch it dwindle to nothing and end up a nail biter. We beat two good teams to get to the sweet 16. And just fell short of the elite eight. Pretty good season as far as I am concerned. I know I didn't suspect us to go that far.

[TC]

Which didn't exist so not sure what your point was either.

We weren't beating Florida.

[vegashog]

there were a lot of questions whether cal was just coming to arkansas to cash a check or whether he still had it. i think those got answered.

[flash23]

Wasn't able to stay up and watch but I checked the box score when I woke up in the middle of the night. Brutal way to lose, but we've been flirting with this all year.

All things considering I think Cal did a pretty good job this year. I'd love to see him rethink his approach on having a short bench, a self inflected and completely avoidable problem, but hoping he learned his lesson.

[Ray Zorback]

So many ways we could have (should have) won:

-Wagner doesn't take that quick 3, run 20 more seconds off the clock
-Aidoo makes the free throw to make it a 4 point lead
-Richmond doesn't make that WTF turnover
-we foul before they shoot the 3

I'm sure there are more

We make the last shot in reg would have been easiest. Based on the way our games have gone lately, I actually kind of expected it. But as a Razorback fan I knew better.

Y'all have got to quit watching. We have to be the biggest masochists in the world.

That being said, Cal didn't hurt his credibility for next year. We should be badass. 



Like I said, masochists.

Turn it up to 11. This is the way.

[Zoso]

Turn it up to 11. This is the way.

I obviously agree...

isn't that sorta our thing? Shit the bed when it really matters and give up a lead?
