GAME THREAD: Arkansas Razorbacks (19-9, 8-7) @ Alabama (17-11, 8-7)

[SoIndianaHog]

Why are our 3 best players on the bench??

[jst01]

True, but that off the glass 3 was horse manure.

No joke. My girl said "does that count?! Is that fair?"

[alohawg]

35-31 @ the break.

[Razorbacks#1]

35-31 Hogs @ the HALF!

[Jzilla]

This line up to finish the half made no sense!!

[bvillepig]

We didn't blow a lead   Guy threw up a prayer and it banked in. Pure luck

[Hogz87]

This.  Part of our 10 point lead being "blown" started off with a three-point make by Bama that they make 3 times out of 100.  It was incredibly fluky and very unfortunate for us.

Why are our 3 best players on the bench??

Frustrating isn't it?

[alohawg]

Why are our 3 best players on the bench??

Keeping the team from gettin' the big head prolly.

[trippigs]

Is it just me or was that 3 by Beard a little ugly?

He was hit mid air

[bvillepig]

Barford  played one on one dribble  is why he is on the bench.  This lineup actually played pretty good. Streached it out to 10 before one luck shot and a bad play by Beard.

[alohawg]

Mike's specialty.

[elksnort]

All we have to do is lead at the half, and it's ours.

This stat of 36 in a row and 121 and seven is very incredible

[SoIndianaHog]

Keeping the team from gettin' the big head prolly.

I just don't think you can have Macon, Barford, and Gafford out at the same time.

[Knot2brite]

Keeping the team from gettin' the big head prolly.

Just might be keeping them from picking up a cheap foul whilst playing on the road in the SEC. Looks little chippy out there at times and I think some trash is being talked

Yep....and we were playing good defense

[Letsroll1200]

How did that go in?

[Temprees]

I just don't think you can have Macon, Barford, and Gafford out at the same time.

Barford is not playing well at all.  Too much dribbling and driving into traffic.  He needs to pick up his defense also.

[Razorod]

Just need to put another solid 20 minutes together and we should come away with a W.

[trippigs]

Barford is not playing well at all.  Too much dribbling and driving into traffic.  He needs to pick up his defense also.

Probably why he didn't play his normal minutes

[elksnort]

The Razorbacks ought to win this.

Will they?

[greenEGnHAWGS]

I just don't think you can have Macon, Barford, and Gafford out at the same time.

I signed in to say this. Just can't rely on Beard or CJ to carry the offensive load. The rest to our stay might be the reason why we win so many games when leading at halftime, I guess.

[99toLife]

Just need to put another solid 20 minutes together and we should come away with a W.

Agree, I think the Hogs will win, may be a crazy stressful finish, but a win.

[Razorback_Mack]

The Razorbacks ought to win this.

Will they?

Well you're on record for saying that we would likely lose and now you're saying we ought to win? Make up your mind you little baby.

[SoIndianaHog]

Barford is not playing well at all.  Too much dribbling and driving into traffic.  He needs to pick up his defense also.

I agree with that, but not all 3 of them should not be sitting at the same time. I thought the bench played well for the most part. Still need one of the studs to be out there as a go to. Just keep defending the 2nd half!

[HawgHeadCheese]

C.J. Jones really might be the key to how we finish.

[alohawg]

Just might be keeping them from picking up a cheap foul whilst playing on the road in the SEC. Looks little chippy out there at times and I think some trash is being talked

Trash talk is every game, but yeah possible. Maybe he thought he had a 8+ pt lead at the half all but locked up.

[Letsroll1200]

CJ is playing better than Barford so far. I don't understand why all three are on the bench.

[AirWarren]

Solid defense to this point. Gotta clean up a few things and take care of the ball better.

Agreed.

[Dr. Starcs]

Well you're on record for saying that we would likely lose and now you're saying we ought to win? Make up your mind you little baby.

LOL

[Razorbacks#1]

2nd underway

[Cavtastic Voyage]

I'll never understand Anderson theory on player management. Why do we go so deep in our bench. Slow the game down if we have to. But barford, Macon, gafford need to be on the court as much as possible. This is a important game. We fool around and lose this one we may not make the tourney. That being the case why is Trey Thompson getting more minutes than gafford. Why is Gabe getting the minutes he is. It drives me crazy because there is no reason to be going 10 deep this late into the season. Also why are players like Gabe and Bailey shooting the ball early in the shot clock. These problems need to be addressed. Judging by what I've seen I will be suprised if we win this game

[Cavtastic Voyage]

Also gafford needs more touches

[Razorbacks#1]

36-31 Hogs
Thomas for 1

[Razorbacks#1]

36-33 Hogs

[razCzar]

GO slam-a-bama HOGS!

[Razorbacks#1]

36-36

[elksnort]

I am making this comment based in what I have seen in the first half tough guy.

[Razorbacks#1]

37-36 Hogs
Gafford for 1

[bvillepig]

Gafford  got his shot. Just didn't drop

[elksnort]

LOL

Yeah, its funny.
What are you? 15 years old

[alohawg]

Nice brick, Beard

[Hawgphish]

how do you play so much ball and shoot a brick air ball?

[Razorbacks#1]

39-37 Bama

[Razorback_Mack]

I am making this comment based in what I have seen in the first half tough guy.

The teams have played almost 30 games and you'll crawfish over a 4 point halftime lead? Get a clue

[Razorbacks#1]

41-37 Bama
TO@ 16:11

[Bogghawg]

Three wide open three's - nothing.

[Hogz87]

Yeah, they're going to beat us. 

We let our 10 point lead disappear way too quickly.

[Dirty]

Good Timeout

[jst01]

Gafford def needs another year in college.
