2023-24 Razorback basketball

[Spiderham]

I will give one example of bad coaching.  Late second half we had cut the lead to 4 and Vandy was on the line.  Their player missed the free throw and their big just muscled over Davenport for the rebound and put it back in for two.   That play was essentially Davenport was overmatched size-wise to hold off the big by himself, the guard on the top block did not step down to help seal off the big man and help Davenport (he just sort of stepped straight out into the lane not even sealing off the shooter. Just being lazy), and Muss missed a chance to get Mitchell back in the game on the dead-ball foul shot.  

Muss put Mitchell in on the next dead-ball but it was too late.  We never got a chance till the very end 3-point heave.  

Bad fundamentals on the block by the guard.
Our "Big" Davenport was overmatched by someone much bigger and stronger.
Coach didn't react fast enough to get some muscle back in the game at a critical momentum moment that might have been the difference between winning and losing.

Watching team after team have layup drills against us has gotten old. Seems like we're always someone's career high, or some team's only road win, or high point total for the year.

No matter how it finishes, this has been the weirdest basketball season ever.

Blue Mountain State got me through it.

All the new links our newest greatest poster posted eased a lot of my pain.

I noticed at one point late in the game Kentucky ran the same inbounds play twice in a row and scored both times.  It was a very simple play.  Should not ever happen.

We get beat on inbound plays a lot. Why we don't switch is mind boggling.

[animal]

Mike Anderson always had that play where we would oop it from an inbounds pass and it worked like once or twice. Then teams started smoking us with our own play...


Muss teams from what I've seen have traditionally done crappy defending inbounds

In about 15 more games this team would have things figured out.

We are in the bottom 4 with 6 wins or fewer, to play on Wednesday with Mizzou, Vandy, and Georgia.

If we win Saturday and A&M beats Ole Miss, we would tie Ole Miss at seven wins, theoretically being able to move out of the bottom four. But, Ole Miss beat us head to head, so we will definitely stay in the bottom four playing Wednesday.

Is this analysis correct?

And yes "if we win at Alabama" is part of the analysis, but it is slightly more likely than unicorn farts.

Head to head is the first tiebreaker, so you are correct.

Si.com has another one of those generic articles out today, but this one recaps the 2000 run and says "it could happen again" and is better than most of the SI AI articles.

Yeah, but that team won 4 games in 4 days. More than likely we would have to win 5 games in 5 days. That's never been done before.

[Barton Fink]

SEC is much better now too.

[animal]

Knowing this team starting last night we'll win 5 games in a row.

That team had way more chemistry than this one does, however, and the SEC was radically different then than it is now.

I could see them making it to Saturday possibly, but that's as far as I think they'd get.

With this team, I could also see them losing Wednesday night to Vandy or Mizzou.

[egregious]

I am so tuned out that I didn't know when the SEC tournament is.  I take it that it is next week.

With all the one and done's and portaling basketball is a raffle every year.  In 10 years football will be too.

[Show-Me Hog]

6 pm Wednesday SECN. Vandy of course.
