We were feast or famine with our guards all year. Our best defender was a freshman, and Gafford needs another year.

Doesn't matter. It should be championship or bust.

Three trips to the NCAA tournament every 7 years is what you should expect as a Hog fan.

And you should be GRATEFUL for that.

Like FCJ said earlier, it's NOT FAIR to expect Eddie Sutton or Nolan Richardson results out of Mike Anderson!

I'm thrilled to death! I expected a kick in the nuts and got one, and a good one at that.

Arkansas sports is always more of a nut kicking than a gut punching.

We should have expected exactly what happened, we got to watch Mike scowl for 40 minutes, inexplicably take out the only real scorers the team has at crucial times and make no adjustments the entire game. 11 mins to go, down 11, and Gafford/Macon/Barford are all on the bench.

So in other words you expected consistency, and we got exactly that.

I expected a more competitive game from start to finish than what we got.

Look at all the loses they had this year. All but MSu were like today. Double digit, made one run to get back in it after getting down big early in either the 1st or 2nd half, but in the end soundly beaten.

Are you trying to defend Anderson with this argument?  Or trying to tell people they should have grounded their expectations?

I expected at least ONE Elite Eight appearance in seven dang years.

well as my grandfather said.  You can expect in one hand and poop in the other and see which one fills up first

Having 3 Senior Guards (2 of them being All-Conference players) and a supposed possible NBA Center should equate to at least a Sweet 16.

This NCAAT by the Hogs was Houston Nutt level underachieving.

DVH comes a lot closer than Anderson ever will.  Since you don't have a problem with basketball, why did you even think of baseball?

The real Hogules

I expected a fundamentally sound basketball team, that played as a team by tournament time. I received neither!

Our style is what gets me about MA. Throughout the game and course of the year, all we kept hearing is we like a chaotic pace or something similar. What that sounds like to me is let's go play a pick up game of basketball. When Zimmerman said we're trying to run set plays it was like he was taken back by that because that's not our style or pffft...set plays who does that.

Baseball makes the elite 8 every 3 years, and was in the final 4, in 2012

You should be a Virginia fan. Fundamentally sound basketball.

Good lord, everyone has a bad day. Anderson has too many to be making elite money at a place like Arkansas. I'm ok with aversge or a little above average in football. There are some biult in disadvantage there. Those are not there in basketball. Facilities, fan base, money, talent close to campus, it's all there. Anderson doesn't want to get his hands dirty in recruiting, i can respect that. Hopefully a change is coming to level that playing field, but it will not change much. Anderson is still an average coach.

I'm  sorry I WILL NOT BE GRATEFUL.  We should expect to be what Louisville has been. Perinatal top 25/sweet 16 team, great baseball, and above average football, wih the right coach.

When did Arkansas get a practice facility? Recruiting started improving shortly after that. Have you seen what happened at Louisville? Do you really want to be corrupt?

I don't call losing to a 16 seed a bad day. If it was Mike he would be getting killed for his outdated style of play.

The quality  of players produced by Arkansas has lead to the better recruiting, not the pratice facility. You miss the point, of course i don't want to be Louisville specifically.

Historically bad, yes, but still just a bad day. They played a team who shot 12 of 24 from three, while they hit 4 of 22. It happens. They were a 1 seed for a reason.

Louisville cheated there way to the top. You mean Daniel Gafford and Daryl Macon? The facility opened in fall 2015. That's not even 3 years. Another uninformed hogville hero. Just Keep Watching

Bobby Portis came here without a practice facility. What's your point? Our recruiting class rankings have risen because of higher rated Arkansas kids. I will keep watchimg through. I'll watch us continue to be mediocre.
