GAME THREAD: Arkansas Razorbacks vs Missouri

[Iwastherein1969]

Must wi because we will lose 3 of next 4

lose next three of four and today's win means absolutely NOTHING

[hogsanity]

3rd year.. 5.2 points 66% shooter and 28% from 3 but he's playing well and Mike is terrible for letting him go after not playing such a talented player...

actually his 2nd year, he had to sit out last year, and those #'s are just as good as a guard the hogs have playing more minutes.

[PonderinHog]

Mike looked very subdued in that postgame interview.  He knows.

Today's win means something?  You guys crack me up.

[Letsroll1200]

Positives
1. Anton is in the starting line up
2. Trey Thompson showed flashes
3. Win at home

Negatives
1. Mike love for Manny Watkins
2. 3 point defense still need improving

he's a jr in class standing meaning he's matured and been in their system 2 years... I guess your referring to Manny?  Is Babb's defense as good as Manny's?  Your post insinuated Mike let a good player transfer because he refused  play him.. Looks as though Mr Babb thought more of himself than anyone other than you..

[pigture perfect]

Whew!

[GuvHog]

A much needed win. Kudos to the players for their hard work.

I will add this...they must stop reacting to every call...I know we react to the calls on here but we are fans...our players sometimes react too much and officials don't take kindly to that...let the offices make dumb bad calls and just stay neutral...I am probably wrong, but I think sometimes officials start looking for stuff to call when we over react.

even letsroll, one of the biggest ma backers around, thinks his love for manny is a negative, he said so in a post just up the page.

What's that got to do with your post about Babb leaving because Mike wouldn't play him.. but now he's a good player for ISU?

I was in reply to your sarcasm directed towards the numbers Babb is putting up. Okay so babb is  poor player, then why did Mike recruit him, and why was he seen as part of the future when he signed?

[realistichog]

When I made the comment about this being a must win cause we will lose 3 of next 4 I was being sarcastic. This win means absolutely nothing as far as RPI. I only watched the last 5 or 6 minutes, I was watching football and forgot about the game being on. It's called apathy.

[Ironhawg]

A home win.  Keep rolling.

It wasn't sarcasm.. all I did was put up his numbers... He recruited him, he didn't pan out ( it happens) and so far Babb has not lived up to his hype out of high school... but you wanted to make it look as though Mike didn't play a good player and he left.. you've got an agenda..

you are easily amused...losing 3 of the next four SEC games puts us at 3-7...don't know what school you attended but in conference play if you are to have any chance of making the NCAA Tournament you either have a winning record in the conference or you win the conference tournament...at 3-7 to merely have a winning record in conference would require we win 7 of the next 8...good luck with that with this particular team...ponder the likelihood of that while you remain cracked up

we haven't lost those games yet.. so this game still counts... for the moment..

The worse thing for Manny was hitting that first three. He thought he was a shooter after that. Thomas fouls too much. Hannahs had a better game. Fifteen rebounds by the guards was encouraging.

[root_hawg]

This was the first of playing the 4 worse teams in the league, should go 4-0 thru this stretch

[hawgfan4life]

Manny does a lot of game management and dirty work that is going unappreciated.  He isn't a flashy athlete but he usually isn't doing a lot of stupid stuff that gets us beat.  Whatever the team is doing bad has almost nothing to do with Manny's minutes.

[zuko]

Go Razorbacks! You've got to be kidding, they beat Missouri, a school with a 5 - 11 record and they should have. Missouri will go down a lot further before they are up. C'mon Mike Anderson and stop gloating about this win and how great you team played. Beating Missouri is not a quality win. I mean, how much time do you want? Arkansas, by now, should be a perennial contender but they have never reached that point and it doesn't look like they will. Either your kids don't have it or you're not getting through to them. Time to go.

MSU says hi and asked if that beatdown they put on the Hogs at home still stings.
