2024-2025 Razorback Basketball

[HughJasole]

if he meant that because of the opposition we will face, then right now that looks to be true.

i kinda doubt that he was slighting any arkansas team.

Yeah I didn't hear the context, just what a friend texted me. If he's meaning the level of play night in and night out in the building based on how good the SEC is, then I can get behind that.

The schedule seems a little odd this year. 

We don't play again until next Saturday the 21st.  After that we get an extended break for Christmas before playing again on Monday 12/30. 

In the past they have usually taken a longer break for finals, but those ended last Friday. 

I think it's based on Christmas being in the middle of the week. Screws a lot of things up.

Little Rock gets one game a year. When we play real teams in Fayetteville it will be close to full or full.

I guess my point is I think the crowds should be better regardless of who we're playing. I think a lot of fans hang their hat on the BWA atmosphere but it's been shitty unless it's a big game. I'm not saying we are going to get 20k in their to watch us play Pacific, but the lower level should be full for every game. I don't think that's an outrageous statement.

Lower level hasn't been full for these noncon games since maybe the Nolan era. Definitely not since every game has been available to watch on tv. I don't know why people are acting like this is a new thing.

We should move all the games to Barton Coliseum!

Uh, no.

That shithole was awful for the state championships in 2013. Still can't believe they had it there. Unreal they played mulitple games there up until the early 1990s.

[Show-Me Hog]

Did anyone notice Michigan remained in the AP poll, #24, and we are just outside, #27?

When we just beat them and both have 2 losses?

Our losses are "good losses," Baylor & Illinois.

Al Davis time.

*edit - OTOH we are ahead of both Baylor & Illinois. When Illinois just played #1 Tennessee down to the wire.

I dunno man.

Michigan dropped about ten spots I think

[Pig Benis]

I believe our NET rating also dropped 3 spots somehow.

Guessing we are still behind LSU in NET

We're behind everybody in the NET

I thought we had pretty good crowds most of Musselman's time here but maybe you're right.

Crowds were always hit or miss for non-con games in November and December. Obviously the Duke game was packed out but he didn't play many marquee non-con games other than that during his tenure. And he had COVID take away crowds during 2020-21.

Lots of basketball games are on week nights.  And they are all streamed now.  Back in Nolan's day if you wanted to see a lot of these games you had to be there.

Definitely early in his tenure. Now once we got rolling in the 90s they were usually on ARSN on like 40/29 or Channel 7 or if it was a legit non con we'd be on ESPN.

I don't remember them being as poorly attended as the BWA crowds this year, but maybe I have some revisionist history.

[Barton Fink]

I think this year has been down even more than the last couple years.

Speaking of which, anyone want 2 lower level tickets to the game Saturday? I've got family coming in town and can't make it.

I will gladly take them.

I am thinking what we need to do is go out and find us a couple of the whitest most punchable face motherfuckers we can each season and put on this team. That should increase our average ranking and overall win total each season.
