GAME THREAD: Arkansas Razorbacks (19-8, 8-6) vs Kentucky (18-9, 7-7)

[Letsroll1200]

Yes. Like to see more Gabe.

Thomas is playing well. We're alright! It's going to be back and forth game now. I just hope Beard don't get too confident.

[BassinHawg]

The question is, is Barford ok?

He did slip that one time, hope he didn't tweak something.

[hawgfan4life]

Fans love it when we hit shots and are critical of players when they miss.  Barford is a scorer who throws up dumb shots, but he generally scores decent percentage of his shots.  C. J. Is a shooter getting wide open looks.  He has to shoot those if he is in the game.  Missing shots is bad but not as bad as scared to shoot.  Our guards have to score at a high percentage and we need to make Freebies.  Anything off the rim is tough to get or stop for them.

[Beaverfever]

Those extra passes, lol. Whatever puts Macon on the line works for me.

It was because cj Jones was afraid to shoot after missing. Kids gotta start playing better.

[BoarEd]

Yeah we need him to come alive in the 2nd half to pull this one out.

I don't know if you guys are even watching the same game. Barford has played great.

[jst01]

This game is a must win for tourney, in my opinion. I think at Bama is a loss. If you lose tonight, you'd make Auburn a definite must win. Lose that and the team is down on confidence  going into Mizzu. You could make a good case that a loss tonight leads to losing out to finish the year.

[hawgball40]

i think barford just slipped on the wet floor. he didn't get pulled until after he took that reckless heat check

[Letsroll1200]

You have revealed how much basketball you've watched this year. LOL.

Auburn has 8 players! LOL! Another uninformed hogville poster.

[jfred59]

My biggest concerns in the second half are if we have out flat streak and if the guys in stripes have gotten the second call to take care of the Cats.

[respirback]

Gonna kick their ass 2nd half.

[AirWarren]

I don't know if you guys are even watching the same game. Barford has played great.

This site is for men that just want to bitch.

[hawgdavis]

Did he hurt himself when he fell and was slow to get up?

Looked odd coming off the court but yea he was slow getting up and slow going down the court.

The Mizzou team that's losing to Ole Miss at home. Ok

Just stop there. Jaylen Barford is the best shooter in the SEC and one of the best in all of basketball (college or pro).

Anyone that complains about Barford as a SHOOTER is an idiot

[HamIAm]

Their bench has outscored ours 25-6

I second this.

[hogsanity]

Your gone.....for awhile we hope

you really think he is going to get banned?

[lasthog]

Kentucky playing Gafford like NBA All Star game, Shaq's first year. He'd been dunking on everybody, but vets decided no rookie is going to dunk today.

Sent him to the line. They are going to mug Gafford attempting to stop a dunk. They know he energizes teammates when he throws it down.  We shall see...

[Dominicanhog]

Their bench has outscored ours 25-6

looks like the difference so far..

[hawgball40]

Actually, blanket statements like yours make you an idiot. He may be a great shooter, but he frequently jacks bad shots. That's why Mike pulled his ass.

[ADavisTheGOAT]

We are going to lose

You're in the right place then.

he has a really good shooter but he does occasionally take some shots maybe on fast breaks and what have you that are ill-advised

[War Boar]

Doesn't change the fact that sometimes he takes shots he probably shouldn't. I don't think anyone was saying he isn't a great shooter.

[regi]

Macon,  Barford,  need 20 mins out of them this half.  If UK does not sit,  Gildess-Alexander and Knox,  do not sit Macon or Barford.  Match em.

[trippigs]

you really think he is going to get banned?

Yep....in fact he may already be gone....haven't seen anything lately

[Boss Hog in the Arkansas]

It was because cj Jones was afraid to shoot after missing. Kids gotta start playing better.

I spotted that. After the play Macon told CJ that was his shot

[GA reddiehog]

Hogs are in trouble.  I think they fold in the second half to a tall lengthy UK team.  I hope it don't start a slump for the rest of the season.

[hawgdavis]

Actually, blanket statements like yours make you an idiot. He may be a great shooter, but he frequently jacks bad shots. That's why Mike pulled his ass.

No Mike pulled him because he took a bad spill at the other end witch showed up on the shot that looked so bad. He was obviously hurting and you could see it as he walked off the court. I just hope he's not hurt.

[SooiecidetillNuttgone]

Bad feeling we'll lose.

The refs are allowing fist fights in the paint, and that's not something we can win

[BannerMountainMan]

Your gone.....for awhile we hope

why so y'all can complain about the hogs in peace without me backing them up

[BoarEd]

You have no clue. I actually told you when Mike would pull him.

[Razorbacks#1]

2nd underway

[From Tusk Till Dawn]

Plenty in the tank, we are going to out work them and bring it home!

[HamIAm]

at least Gafford didn't get called for a ticky-tack foul that time LOL

[40MINSOFHELL]

Gafford needs to get stronger

[Razorbacks#1]

45-43 UK

[jst01]

Can't outrun and wear down this Kentucky team. Gonna have to make shots and free throws to win.

[alohawg]

Lord have mercy, what the heck.

[Razorbacks#1]

45-45
Barford for 2 from the line

[upperdeck_hawg]

Zone!!!!!!!!! They're killing us on penetration

[BigSexyHog]

Dude is like Fletch... Normally 6'10 but 7'2 with the Afro

[BoarEd]

A 40% shooting % from the 3 point line is all you need to know about Barford's shot selection. He has the green light.

[elksnort]

why so y'all can complain about the hogs in peace without me backing them up

let me do some Paula Deen for you y'all y'all y'all y'all y'all y'all

[Razorbacks#1]

47-45 UK and too the line

[BigSexyHog]

We don't have alot of energy right now.

[Razorbacks#1]

[alohawg]

Quite as a library

[Razorbacks#1]

Gafford with a Thunderous!

[HogBreath]

Thomas is playing well. We're alright! It's going to be back and forth game now. I just hope Beard don't get too confident.

He has.
