Impossible.  Arkansas can't win on the road, Mike is a bad x's and o's coach, etc , etc.

There are still a few us around here in the 3rd category.
Anderson and Madden get way too much grief around here for a 16-4 team.

Dang just think if we were "well coached" and played "fundamental basketball", the sky would be the limit. Doesn't matter what you bring up to show success, there is an agenda of wanting CMA to fail so they will continue to see failure even while we are winning.

Duke's - Wisconsin and Louisville
UVa - Maryland and VCU
KU - Georgetown and Baylor
Hogs - SMU and Georgia

Sorry had to. -1 for me

Duke's - #9 RPI and #21 RPI
UVA - #13 RPI and #4 RPI
KU - #19 RPI and #23 RPI
ARK - #18 and #24

So...UVA has the two best road wins, followed closely by Duke then Arkansas and KU are tied. All that matters is the RPI when it comes to selection Sunday. The non-conf SOS and RPI. Rankings mean very little compared to those two. So why is that a -1 from you? So I guess being mentioned nationally with the likes of Duke, UVA and KU is not impressive?

SMU improves to 8-1 in conference after their win tonight...

Very serious. It seems like very few people are willing to admit that we're doing some very good things and some things we're doing very poorly. But that overall, we are winning more than we have in a long time.

I believe my posts indicate just what you said.

[Who is our Coach?]

This team reminds me of a quote Larry Merchant said about Jermain Taylor once:

All most critics say is "Look at all the chinks in that armor."  But  I say "Damn, look at all that armor."

There are some things we don't do well.  But there are a lot of things we do well.  Most of all, win close games.  I am tickled to death to be 16-4.  Happy for CMA.  Happy for the program.  Feels good to be relevant.  If we could just cut back on the bonehead plays, some of these games might not be quite so close.  My blood pressure would be better, and my TV wouldn't get cussed out so much. 

[Mick Hogger]

They may not be the best team we've ever had, but they're the best we have had in a long while. If they've been struggling because of illness, maybe the best is yet to come. I hope like hell so. This program needs it.

Go Hogs!

I was overstating the problem. Obviously we have plenty of reasonable fans, some of whom post in jump ball.

But the vast majority resort to such simplified hyperbole in their hatred or love for the staff and the system. It's absurd.

The thing is - Anderson gets very little credit for all he's done.
The basketball program was a dysfunctional cesspool when he arrived after Pelphrey and Heath. It appears he's cleaned it up, players are going to class, staying out of trouble, few suspensions and no arrests the last few years that I can remember. We have an NCAA caliber team this year for the first time in forever.
Give the man some credit. MA is not perfect - but he does a lot of things right.
The program as a whole and the team are much improved from the day he set foot on campus.

[secfan30]

Nice find. We are doing better than some would like to admit.

Let's add Floridia and Kentucky to that road win list and we will have a nice resume.

[CattleCorn]

Ugh, why does every Jump Ball thread turn into a referendum on CMA?  Can't we just have one poll thread stickied at the top that says CMA: is he Jesus or Satan?

[popcornhog]

I'll be in Lexington and would love to win that game, but absent a fluke/miracle/best game of the year, it's very unlikely.

Getting the win at YF and closing the road schedule out with a 3-3 mark would be great for the resume though, too.

Good post!

What we have now is what I like to call a "healthy" program.  Mike has a done a great job of restoring the culture and what it takes to be a consistent winning program.  Are we among the elites yet? No?  What we do have is a program on the rise that will continue to rise with strong leadership.  I feel we have that leadership.

The OP pointed out a great feel good stat, but I have a feeling that bigger and better things are on the horizon.  A more impressive stat, in my opinion, is two years in a row that we've won three games on the road.  Mike's teams prior to Arkansas have a history of coming together in February and March.  We may not win today, but going into February at 16-5 has my feeling pretty optimistic.  17-4 will be awesome though and 4 road wins at this stage would exceed any expectation I had at the beginning off the year.

Go Hogs!
