3 Road Wins

[Breems]

We've matched our total from last year with 6 to go. Does anyone remember the last team besides the past two that had 3 or more?

Mike can't win on the road.

[ErieHog]

And we're 5-3 over our last  8 conference road games, so you can stretch the number further, to show it isn't a micro-sized sample at play.

Still have another eminently winnable road game at MSU (a definite *should* win), and a couple of other opportunities to steal one or two.

Go Hogs!

At this point in the season, 98-99 was the last time.  Got our 3rd road win on 1/13/99.  In 06-07, we won three games on a neutral site in the Old Spice Classic.  Haven't had 3 true road wins this early since 98-99 though.

[Nipsey Mussle]

And I promise you, beyond a shadow of a doubt, the next time we lose a road game the narrative on here will be, "Why can't Mike win on the road?"

That is a personal guarantee.

Going back to last year, this team is something like 6 and 6 in it's last 12 road games. and we have lost a few close ones. this team has improved on the road. and only the blind haters can't see it. we have already won at SMU. at UGA. and at Mizzo today. we have a good team this year. got to keep working on defense and other things. but we have a good team.

Wow!!!!! I wouldn't guess that by reading this board.

[opineonswine]

Maybe these narrow escapes are toughening them up.  Hope so.  Gonna need it.

05-06 was the last time before the last two that we had 3 true road wins.

It would be so very pleasing to beat Florida in Gainsville.

[forrest city joe]

But But Mike Anderson and the Hogs can't win road games. that's what i keep reading on hogville's jump Ball forum. IT's NOT TRUE.

[Atlhogfan1]

Huge milestone.  Mike with his 8th road win at Arkansas passes Pelphrey who won 7 in 4 seasons and only one away from Heath who won 9 road games in 5 seasons.

GREAT POST.

[gmarv]

I,ll be glad when our road record doesn,t merit attention during every game we play on the road.oh by the way iowa state losing by double digits on the road at tt.

[hawgXi]

That is a personal guarantee.

speaking of the road:

the road to the national championship and the sec championship runs through lexington, KY.

CMA led teams have a history of beating calipari led teams.

how many teams in the last few years have beat calipari/kentucky straight up at Kurrpt area?

plus CMA had his number while cal was at memphis & mike was at UAB.

when I have time, I'll check cal all time vs. CMA & cal all time vs any other active coaches and be back with that info sunday.

imo, he's our best chance to get back to the top of the mountain.

[HF#1]

Win at Florida and we are playing for seeding the rest of the way imo..

Good stuff, +1
I'd be interested to know what  you find out.

[HoopS]

Wow!!!!! I wouldn't guess that by reading this board.

if you relied only on reading here, you'd swear we must be 4-14 and we got lucky in that Utah Valley and Alabama St game.

ok:  I've put together some data on CMA career results vs. coach cal

CMA has 6 wins out of a total of 12 match ups against calipari coached teams.

while at UAB CMA won 2 and lost 5 to cal at Memphis.  2:5
while at Mizzou CMA won 1 in sweet 16 against calipari's Kentucky wildcats. 3:5
while at Arkansas CMA has won 3 games cal has won 1. 6:6.

so for his career CMA has held his own against calipari.

mike has also had quality wins vs. tubby at KY and bill self's KU teams along the way, too.

another tid bit that turned up along the search, was that CMA is the only Razorback basketball coach to have 18 or more wins in his first 3 seasons as head coach.

knock on wood, but it looks like he will extend that record to 4 seasons this year.

won't have time to compare cal vs. other active coaches today.  have to catch up on some work work.

p.s.  these results are from actual scores on the court and do not reflect any of calipari's vacated wins while at Memphis.

Have people ACTUALLY been saying that this year?  Or is your blind love for everything Mike wanting you to believe that's been said to bash anyone not as supportive of you?  GO back to prior to the start of this season, I have been a MA supporter.  I still am for that matter.

The way I look at it, We are deffinitely improving on the road.  We are winning the games we should on the road now.  We all hoped we would be more competitive on the road at Iowa st, but that is a very good veteran team, no shame in that loss.  We SHOULD have won at Clemson, but still it's on the road and we split the home and home with them, not bad.  The UGA win more than washes out the Clemson loss, in my opinion.  Now, where is our road win this year to wash out the Ole miss home loss?  At Ole miss?  I'll take it?  The only other game that is really sticking at me is our poor play at Tenner, but go back, that series has our number. 

Grand scheme, many here are mad when we watch us barely beat mizzou.  We feel as if we are a top 25 team this year.  Mizzou isn't a top 150 team.  Mike definitely makes you scratch your head at times, but for now I believe the majority actually support him.

He has had success against Calipari. 

Mike was 1-9 against Self.  Avg score KU 82 Mizzou 69

The one win was the E8 team 62-60.  KU beat them later that season 90-65.

KU won by 17, 18, 19 twice, 21 and 25.


Mike was 6-8 against Doc Sadler.  After 14 meetings, Doc's teams scored 906 and Mike's 902. 

Biggest margins of victory for Doc's teams were 65-37 UTEP over one of Mike's UAB tourney teams and 75-60 over one of Mizzou's tourney teams.

Mike's largest victory was 70-47 with the E8 team over Nebraska.

Nice stat from both of you. 

Self is probably the style coach mike usually has the most problem with. 

[Atlhogfan1]

5-6 vs Frank Martin (1-2 in Ark vs SC matchups)

Avg score Martin 74-70

Biggest wins in terms of margin:  K St 100-63 and SC 75-54, Mike's largest 94-74 vs K St by the E8 team.

[Breems]

Mike has succeeded (or held his own) against Calipari because Calipari's guards are rarely disciplined enough to handle the pressure defense, e.g. the Harrison twins last year.

Yep. Unfortunately for us this year. I don't think tyler ulis will falls in that category.

And poor perimeter and FT shooting even going back to the Memphis vs UAB and Mizzou matchups.

funny how different programs and coaches match up with each other.

iirc, one of the ONLY coaches with a career winning record vs. nolan was wimp sanderson while at alabama.  so go figure?

btw, what is doc sadler up to these days?

Wimp had athletes who thrived in those matchups.  Those were entertaining games. 

It is interesting to look into coaching matchups.  Styles and familiarity matter. 

[kaptainkory]

The equation coming into conference play for seeding security in the NCAA tournament was win out at home and split away.  Way I look at it, we already dropped one at home so needed to steal an extra away win just to stay on par.

yeah, and at the time of those NR match ups with wimp, who woulda thought robert horry would be the player from that era that ended up with the most NBA championship rings?

Hey, let's just look at road wins this year. Last year is a moot point. I just care about conference wins on the road.

We won on the road last year. Including at UK.  Typically even the best coaches go about .500 on the road.
