This is a BIG WIN congrats to coach Mike Anderson and the Hogs

[hogsanity]

So, let me see if I understand correctly, losing on the road to a team with a rpi in the 200's is not big deal, but beating Dayton, at home, is a great win?

With the way Dayton was shooting and turning the ball over Sat, a really good team should have won by 30+. The Flyers outscored the Hogs in the 2nd half.

Clemson has beat Arkansas, LSU, and Auburn at their place.

The team played well Saturday, the offense went through Portis.

In the 1st half, 2nd half not so much.  Let's see if that continues the rest of the non conference schedule these next 3 weeks.

They were doubling Portis heavy in the second half.

They were doubling Portis heavy in the second half.

Which should have left someone open for some easy shots.

So, does that mean the Hogs are not better than Aub and LSU?

So if CMA gets credit for these "BIG" home wins, we "haters" can't question his decision making in the losses?

Got it.

Basically, if you say anything negative about the basketball team/program it is because you hate Mike Anderson. I know some people got banned after the Cal NIT game last year for saying nothing more than that was what they expected on the road from a MA coached team. 

His team has the highest disparity home/away in the country, and has that by a wide margin. Since the players are not the same every season, you can't blame them.  The only constant is the way he coaches them to play.

Stop your whining and crying about coach Anderson.we won a big game over Dayton and haters like you can't stand it. MIKE ANDERSON IS THE MAN. and he is going to be the coach here a long time. get use to it.

I'm ecstatic about the win over Dayton at home, it was a solid win, but if Mike is going to stay here for a long time to come, the Hogs road record must seriously improve.

, but if Mike is going to stay here for a long time to come, the Hogs road record must seriously improve.

I actually doubt that is the case.

[hogsanity]

most of us do not doubt that at all. Short of scandal, leaving on his own, or at least two consecutive losing seasons, he is her until he does not want to be.

Pay attention. the record has improved every year. 18 wins, 19 wins. and 22 wins.the program is getting better every year under Mike. and it will be even better this year. this team will be in the dance this year.and we got Jimmy Whitt on the way. the program is in great hands.

Our win total should be going up. The SEC is progressively getting worse every year.

[The_Iceman]

From here on out, Mike needs to be close to .500 on the road in the SEC.

Wrong Answer FCJ, We are still a bad road team. Let's see how the season progresses but we can't lose to Georgia on the road or the chaos is in full force.

A team can consistently improve and consistently underachieve.  They are not mutually exclusive.  A team that goes 18-2 at home should be able to do better than 4-10 elsewhere.  It was even worse the year before when they went 18-2 at home and 1-11 everywhere else.  How is that even possible?

Pure BS. you haters will post of say anything to take a shot at Mike. and i will be here to call you out for it. Mike Anderson is doing an outstanding job improving this program every year. and nothing you haters post or say is going to change that.

"Pure BS" that a team that is nearly perfect at home should be better than historically bad on the road?  You'll be here to "call us out" and we'll be here to call you crazy, as always.

[RazorPiggie]

Question FCJ, IF (and thats a big IF) MA was to ever get fired would you quit following Razorback basketball?

Please answer yes or no and give an explanation. I don't want to hear about how he will never get fired or any of that nonsense.

[hogsanity]

People's "whining" about a coach that has missed the big dance for three straight years, does not even come close to comparing to your out right wailing about refs cheating the hogs ate everything from football to tiddly winks.

But I will make you a deal, I won't post one more thing negative about the Hogs basketball team, if you won't post one more thing about refs, period.  I realize this will take away 99.9% of your posting repertoire, but I think it is a fair offer.

How old are you. i was a Hog basketball fan before Mike got here. and i will be one when he is gone. im just not going to join this Mike Anderson can't coach hate fest.Mike is a very good coach who has the program improving every year. he will not be fired.

[hogsanity]

How old are you. i was a Hog basketball fan before Mike got here.

We know you were. We remember your epic rant after beating TX and OU at home, about how they UA should lock up Pelphrey with a long term deal. I only wish the search function still worked so i could find and repost that epic diatribe.

And i admitted i was wrong, and wanted Pel fired at the end of that year when he went 2 and 15 in the sec. i am man enough to admit when i am wrong. unlike Anderson haters like you. get use to Mike being your coach. he not getting fired this year. Hogs will be in the Dance. GO HOGS AND GO MIKE ANDERSON.

I knew you would not answer the question.  If they don't win 3 on the road in the league, they won't

[hogsanity]

If they don't win 3 on the road in the league, they won't

And that is assuming they go 9-0 at home in league play.

[forrest city joe]

They will win 3 on the road this year. so they will be in the dance. then what are you haters going to be whining and crying about?

He is incapable. He recites the same 3 tired lines. Asking an honest question only confuses him.

Wonder if Uconn fans were posting " this was a big win " when they knocked off Dayton earlier this year?

There is a tiny difference between the status of UCONN basketball, and Arkansas basketball right now.  That said, they were plenty excited, and complimentary of Dayton.

No one here said it was not a quality win, although it won't carry as much because, as usual, it was at home. But the Hogs have had plenty of those in the last decade. But a home win against an unranked opponent, imo, is not a BIG WIN.

I have said I think this is a ncaat team, but they sit right where they did last year, likely needing a 12-6 sec record, to get in.

[forrest city joe]

Mike and the hog won't get lucky and beat KY again.

beating KY 3 games in a row is not luck.it's coaching. KY has a team of HS all Americans. yet Mike still beat Cal.  1 time may be luck. 3 times in a row is not luck. it's coaching.

I am paying attention. It's true there is improvement as a whole but the overwhelming majority of those wins are in BWA. The Hogs road record the last 3 years is very poor and must improve. The starting lineup changes and the way the Hogs played in the 1st half of the Dayton game is encouraging though.

[RazorPiggie]

Haven't seen anyone else say this yet:

Yes Dayton was an Elite 8 team last year and one would think they would be ranked coming off that and having only lost to last years National Champs

BUT

They aren't because they lost 4 of their top 6 scores from last year. They lost 50% of their scoring. SO this years Dayton team is NOT as good as last years. Its a good win but they are anywhere close to last years team.

Is Jimmy Whitt > Bobby Portis?  Seems like a good replacement for Madden, but if Portis leaves....

No, they don't.

Today, they're generally in that 10 seed range already;  with the RPI, the bubble is going to be at 10 losses, with our schedule; 9 or under should be in; 8 overall losses will likely be a mid range seed for us.
