Not meaning to poo poo your statement but wasn't Texas a neutral site game

Didn't we also win in North Little Rock, so really 3 road wins.

Neutral site games are not considered road wins.

Yep...neutral site game as well...even though it was a home game for us. Neutral site games are important to some of the NCAA committee though

Breaking news, the Hogs will not make the tournament.

Breaking news, the Hogs will not make the tournament.

Breaking News there are still at least 14 games left with many winnable games!

Breaking news, the Hogs will not make the tournament.

I don't know...they have a hard road to travel. They have to make some changes mentally and they have to improve some things but you can't eliminate them yet. I hope they do. I expect them to. They should.

[Hogs958]

meanwhile we can't beat Mississippi State at home.

Oh okay...now I'm confused...when we play another team at some other gymnasium (not our beloved Bud Walton Arena) located some where in the great state of Arkansas, it's a home game for us.

But...we can travel to Texas, to play..oddly enough, Texas, pursue those dreadful Whorns in to their very lair...and yet, it's considered a neutral site game?

WTH??

Neither of those are necessarily "quality". They were both solid wins, but nothing to boast about. If we had lost them though, which we almost did, we'd be in horrible shape resume-wise. Now if we can beat FLA or SC, those would be excellent quality.

[TheRazorback500]

Tuesday night will tell us a lot. Our talent advantage at guard makes this a winnable game.

[hobhog]

Good grief.......

Just win some meaningful games and get back to us.....

[JayBell]

Regardless of Texas' mounting losses and terrible RPI, apparently we're going to have people claiming until the end of the season that Texas was a "quality road win."  The Texas game was a quality non-loss, but don't expect it to show up on any resume reviews as the tournament gets closer.  If Arkansas had lost that game, it'd be on the "bad losses" side of the resume.

Meanwhile, mic'd up Mike still sucks and FCJ, well, is FCJ.

No quality winnable games. All the committee has to go on with these Hogs is no signature wins, 2 home losses, and blowouts at the hands of UK and a Minnesota team that's going down in flames. Wow what an impressive resume.

You know how bad it is when you call wins against 7 - 10 Texas (on a neutral site and  9 - 8 Tennessee your great road wins.

Gilder will have 20+ against us with 4+ 3's. Their big mean will combine for over 20 rebounds.

Not exactly breaking news. But fcj and others will still be telling us how mike has it turned around when we're a 3 seed in the NIT

Truth. Our best chance for a true quality win was Florida at home. No way we win at Florida or south Carolina. I haven't watched Oklahoma state, so i won't comment on the likelihood of that game

[Kevin]

you mean the ok state that has not won a league game yet, that is the quality win texas has.

[CallMeAl]

meanwhile we can't beat Mississippi State at home.

There is a difference between we "can't" beat Mississippi State at home and we "didn't" beat Mississippi State at home. This team is not as bad as some think and they are not as good as some people think. Time will tell.

Those games will NOT be under Good Wins on our resume. As of right now we have Zero Good Wins.

[sigpooie]

Our schedule is ranked 54. It looks from the comp ratings like we will win 22 to 25 if it goes well and 18 to 20 if not. Either might put us in the nit But if our defense keeps getting better we could hit the 23 to 25 wins that would help our argument to go to the ncaa

[PonderinHog]

It won't be a question of good wins.  It will be a question of "how many."

[Dominicanhog]

It won't be a question of good wins.  It will be a question of "how many."

that's right.. less than 22 total = no chance.. above 22 we are in..  22 wins = nail biting during the selection show.. but probably NIT

[Atlhogfan1]

It won't be a question of good wins.  It will be a question of "how many."

Yep.  May make it without a good win.  Depends on who we are being compared to for the spots.  I posted USC's resume the other day.  Similar to us.  Can run up a good win total without beating a good team.

Our major conference non conference opponents:

Minnesota has lost 2 straight:  Mich St (2nd loss to Sparty) and Penn St
Texas 1-4 in B12
Ok St 0-5 in B12

Houston has lost 2 of last 3

I think the team is good. Coach Anderson isn't getting it done!

[cardsNhogs]

If Arkansas does not beat a quality team, they number of wins will be irrelevant.  All focus will turn to how they do in the SEC tournament.  They would likely have to make the finals to have a reasonable chance of a bid - and even that might not be enough depending on who the opposition is/was.

Some on here do NOT understand this. They think 13-4 all is great!
