GAME THREAD: Arkansas(11-2,1-0) vs Miss St(12-1,0-0)

[Razorbacks#1]

32-28 MSU @ the HALF!

[lookawayquick]

Dustin Thomas??

[Hulk HOGan]

2 SEC games
2 terrible first halves

[RaisinHog]

And that sums up our first half

[VBMark]

If you care, Auburn beat TN at Knoxville AND Florida is beating the heck out of A&M at College Station. Maybe that road luck will strike us tonight as well. WPS!

[Letsroll1200]

If we had one quality 4 man

[jfred59]

Would it kill one of our players to at least frigging try to get a rebound?  If we were even attempting an effort to keep them from getting offensive boards we'd by up 8 - 10 points.

Scared they will get called for a foul for breathing

[BannerMountainMan]

Pleased with this score by the looks of the foul count, good half, we will wear them down

[HogFansReunited]

They are getting away with murder under the rim.

[Hog Pharm]

That's why we don't get respect

[TNhawgfan]

"We'll win 7 games on the road this year because of our seniors" random jumpballers. Our 5 seniors stunk that first half

[hannahboarnana]

What is wrong with us? Can't rebound, missing easy shots, we look half-dead! There's no excuse for playing this poorly after how we fought against Tennessee. We should already have a 20 point lead. Ridiculous.
Also yes, these announcers suck.

[hawgball40]

If we had one quality 4 man

Cook is that guy, just rusty and stuck in a funk.

[Hawgphish]

Only 4 down

[MAGA45]

Barford and Macon non existent

[Bacons Rebellion]

I want Thomas to quit putting the ball on the floor and trying to make something happen for himself. He needs to get rebounds and trash baskets.

[HogCzar1]

Certainly going to have to play better than that. Can't stop them off the dribble and we look a little lackadaisical

[ICEman]

It's a self-fulfilling prophecy.

[Cornfed Pig]

Who the hell was macon throwing the ball to?

he was throwing the ball to where thompson was supposed to be

[Boss Hog in the Arkansas]

Scared they will get called for a foul for breathing

+1

[Atlhogfan1]

"We'll win 7 games on the road this year because of our seniors" random jumpballers. Our 5 seniors stunk that first half

Will win 5

[hawgball40]

We need to solve that defense. get gafford the ball in the paint. macon and barford are ice cold. jones and beard afraid to shoot.

[rzrbk4life]

Sloppy play. Gotta clean it up for the second half. We can win this

[Dominicanhog]

 this thread is full of bitching about rebounding and we out rebounded them 23-22

[elksnort]

  I don't give a chit what these folks are saying. Come on Hogs. Win this dang game.

Thank you. If we were playing better folks would notice the announcing as much.

[RaisinHog]

Pleased with this score by the looks of the foul count, good half, we will wear them down

Wear them down? Standing around jacking up random 3's is gona wear them down

[lookawayquick]

Bulldogs are not a good team.  Hogs should win by double digits.  But to do so they will have to wake up and bring the energy.  Brain freeze on the road so far.

[Cornfed Pig]

that first half

that first half

that first half

[SPAL]

he was throwing the ball to where thompson was supposed to be

He had gafford on pick and roll for an easy bucket. Not sure why he was looking for TT

[Letsroll1200]

No energy, stupid mistakes by our Seniors, abd lack of recruiting a quality 4 man. Cook and Thomas are a big disappointment. They couldn't start for Arkansas Baptist College the way they're playing. Pick it up

[HogFansReunited]

Got pretty good seats. Hopefully the team shows up for the second half.

[elksnort]

If we had one quality 4 man

I've said this all along however I don't know if it applies to this game or not.

[BannerMountainMan]

Wear them down? Standing around jacking up random 3's is gona wear them down

you'll see ole boy

[Pig Worshipper]

We were sharing the ball and playing good team ball then the last 8 minutes or so guys started playing selfish, me first basketball. We are lucky that we weren't blown out yet.

Get back to playing unselfish basketball.

[Hog Pharm]

Barford and Macon non existent

Very similar to Houston game. If they don't bring it we're screwed.

[PonderinHog]

Who has three fouls?

[XavierZane]

16 to 4 fta disparity.  No bonus for us in the first.  The refs are letting them do anything they want under the rim on both sides of the court.  Our guys can't be afraid to shoot though.  They gave up several open looks.  Too timid on offense and defense because of the refs and because they're cold.  Got to learn to get past both.

[ceegar]

Will win 5

I predicted a loss by 5 before the game.  With us scoring in the low 70's.  We may not make it to 70.  This team will struggle on the road this year

[c-townfan]

Thank you. Rebounding was not the problem. Drives me nuts to read this board sometimes.

[BentonvilleJeff]

I don't see it as a rebounding problem the first half. We're just missing shots. Need to get hot and go on a run.

[GA reddiehog]

No energy from the team and no coaching from the bench.  Hogs look lost when they have to play against a tight defense.  If they continue to stand around and take bad shots this will get ugly in the second half

[Hogball]

Your a typical dumass

At least I can spell!

[LivingLegends]

this thread is full of bitching about rebounding and we out rebounded them 23-22

When people are bitching about rebounding it's almost always on offensive rebounds.

[BallHog1]

Very typical.... down 4 at half and the HV drama queens have already decreed a loss...

[BannerMountainMan]

https://twitter.com/barstoolua/status/948387038491021312 Sums up the first half

[Hog Pharm]

We're lucky to be down only 4. They missed a bunch of open shots.

[Bogghawg]

this thread is full of bitching about rebounding and we out rebounded them 23-22

Their uncontested 10 offensive rebounds have lead directly to at the very least ten easy points.  Period.

[trippigs]

We will smoke MSU if we wake up and play our game. Currently we are playing down to them....no energy. Go Hogs

[RaisinHog]

I mean I think we will win .. but we should be up by double digits ..

[TebowHater]

If you care, Auburn beat TN at Knoxville AND Florida is beating the heck out of A&M at College Station. Maybe that road luck will strike us tonight as well. WPS!

I more hate this because it 1. makes our TN win look less good and 2. Makes me have zero confidence we will win Saturday..so we best figure out a way to pull this one out to avoid starting 1-2.
