Arkansas vs Auburn 7:30 ESPN

[DRYANKNPULL]

That was a good game and can't say enough about Acuff and Richmond's performance. Wish we could have stomped on their throats a couple of times instead of them cutting it to 8.

[bigpig]

Acuff is obviously generational, but Richmond is so fun to watch.

Something feels kind of unsatisfying about that win. Yeah, a win is a win I guess. I wanted the kind of win where the walk ons come in and do their sad sack routine. Instead we had Knox and DJ returning and doing their sad sack routine. Was anyone else surprised not to see Isaiah Sealy? I thought he had earned a minute or two.

Only two players played their best. Obviously Acuff and Billy. Two get an "okay" grade. Brazile and Thomas. The rest get a D or F or MIA. It's really time for all our players to play a good game at once and not just rely on Acuff to do his thing.

[The Whyte Boar]

I'd much rather see Sealy get Knox's minutes from here on out. 

[vegashog]

they had won four out of the last five going into the game and we handed them their worst loss in conference play so far. any win against those fucks is a great win regardless of the final score.

[The Whyte Boar]

I think Brazille played pretty danged well.  Eleven points, 7 rebounds, one or two steals, and four blocks.  The blocks are the secret.  This rotation that largely doesn't feature Knox and Wagner is playing defense much better than earlier in the year.  We had ten blocks yesterday, we are really altering shots and protecting the rim.  We also had 22 defensive rebounds, so we are doing a pretty good job of limiting them to one shot.

The effort really went up as soon as those two went out of the lineup.  I really don't expect Knox to be here next year.  Someone will offer him some pretty good money and we won't try too hard to match it. 

Just watched Cal's press conference and he mentioned TB first snd really praised him.  He said if TB plays like today, we are really really good.

I don't think DJ will return either. He's gonna want to be the first option at PG. That won't happen here. Love to have him back but I can understand why he would leave.

Probably not but we might try a little bit harder to keep him so that we can have another ball handler.

I woke up thinking this too.  A couple times we looked like we were going to walk away with the game, only for Auburn to still keep it close enough to think they had a chance with three minutes to go.  If we had scored that much in a road or neutral court win I'd be ecstatic, but after that game I'm stuck on "We didn't close it out like we could have."  Even though we actually did.

It was a great win but Auburn has lost four straight.

The only thing Brazile did poorly last night was shooting threes.   Make his normal percentage of those and he's got another 6-9 points.  Was glad to see him keep shooting...when your mechanics are solid and you can't get a shot to fall, the only way out is to shoot your way through it.

Is JSJ a ball dominant player? I kinda thought he and DJ may play well together. Need a shooter around them though.

[Barton Fink]

They list him as a combo guard but he has always handled it when I've watched him play. Agee we need a good shooter. Unless a miracle happens and Thomas returns.

With as strong as this freshman class is, he'd be better off coming back a year. Since we can pay him now, maybe he will. I think he could use a year to get bigger.

I agree. Only downside is it starts his second NBA contract later. He would be leaving money on the table.

[Pig Benis]

I think there's zero chance he returns barring injury. He would be a perfect with the incoming freshmen though.

[Hognrock]

I love Acuff and he's a generational talent, but Billy is my favorite. You can't teach his tenacity and effort.

That one where he split those guys was beautiful.

[Hogworth Ballington III]

The fact that he didn't even get an honorable mention for the SC top 10 is sacrilege of the highest order. And yet, a run of the mill lacrosse score got in that night.
