GAME THREAD: Arkansas Razorbacks (15-8, 4-6) vs South Carolina (13-10, 4-6)

A little hero ball there. Then a great wrap around past The Gafford

[trippigs]

Rainbow at  the buzzer

48-38 Hogs
Gafford for a THUNDEROUS! and to the line

[rljjr]

Nice start to the half. Very well done.

[Razorbacks#1]

48-40 Hogs

[HogInThaGrove]

Well, Dustin Thomas had as many minutes in the first half as JT Plummer did, and Gabe played more minutes than he has in all other SEC games combined.

And THIS is why it's hard as hell to play for Mike.  Since he doesn't really know what he's doing or how to fix the problems, he overcompensates and makes huge changes instead of working them in and it leaves kids not knowing if they will start, play, or sit bench every single game.  I bet Thomas wonders what the hell he did differently this last 3/4 days to go from starting to not playing at all in a half.  (Maybe he's hurt/suspended/etc... but let's not pretend that this is the first time MA has done something like this)

[Bogghawg]

They can't just play D.  They have a guy triple teamed, nothing he can do, and we slap him.  Our fouls are frustrating, but it's not the refs fault.  We bail our opponents out committing stupid fouls.

[Razorbacks#1]

53-46 Hogs
Thompson for 2

[rljjr]

Can't complain about the first 4 minutes.

TO@ 15:46
Macon to the line out of the break

[Dr. Starcs]

He said all of that minus if you take a 3. He told him to take the shot one on one. Period.

You people just spew hate. It's old. Yes Mike is very flawed but he didn't call that crap. So get over yourselfs.

So he doesn't have an iso call for barford from the bench?

I bet there's more to the story.  We're too weak at the 4 to banish anyone to the bench.

It was a use it or lose it time out

[Razorbacks#1]

55-46 Hogs
Macon for 2 from the line

[c-townfan]

So he doesn't have an iso call for barford from the bench?

Yes but he doesn't tell barford to stand at the 3 line jiggle his head a little bit and throw up an off balance three. He tells him to create a shot, not to throw up trash. He doesn't and shouldn't have to say don't throw up an off balance three. Seriously man. You guys just love to hate.

[Dirty]

So Dr Stacs, that was a pus on SC

[Razorbacks#1]

56-46 Hogs
Beard for 1

[Ironhawg]

Man USC is getting away with a lot of pushing and shoving in the lane.

[HogFansReunited]

Beard should have dished that to Macon.

[Bogghawg]

Finally up double digits.  Put the hammer down.

[Ironhawg]

Shot clock violation! 

[Dr. Starcs]

It was a use it or lose it time out

Could be wrong, but I thought they changed that rule.

If not, then I have no problem with the timeout

[Razorbacks#1]

58-46 Hogs
Jones for 2 and to the line

Can Beard just hurry up and graduate already!

[hawgrunner]

Go Hogs!!

[rljjr]

Martin seems resigned to lose this one.

[Letsroll1200]

Need a point guard

[Ironhawg]

5 second call!  Nice!

[Capt. Hamm]

Come on, let's put them away!

Martin seems resigned to lose this one.

After last year his job is safe for a while

[panhandlepig]

Somebody get Frank Martin a toothpick.

LOL.

[elksnort]

I said it earlier. The color analyst is a tad verbose.

[Dillon23]

Good thing USC is terrible...

[rljjr]

After last year his job is safe for a while

I guess so. I just don't see him doing much, and he's certainly not as animated as he normally is shown.
