UAB

[razorbackfan4life]

Just threw it down against Memphis.

[SGH2244]

where is he these days?

SGH

[razorbackfan4life]

He's playin for Mike Anderson at UAB.

[Illinihog]

Big deal, dunk was impressive but Wen wasn't SEC Material another evidence of Nolan's recruiting towards the end.

[razorbackfan4life]

I wasnt trying to glorify him, I was just pointing out that he made a good play, and he was playin for UAB.

[Dwight_K_Shrute]

Wen Mukubu?  Anytime

[Zen_Hog]

Ahhh, I remember him....

[Pragmatic PiG]

pretty entertaining game so far actually

36-35 tigers with 4 left in the half

there have been 8 lead changes

Go blazers

[krazie.joe]

He wasn't really a good talent, but when I ever saw him play he played hard.

[HOGLIGULA]

good athlete, but not designed for heath ball, needs an up and down tempo to score and be effective

Didn't Stan sign him?

[Franchise_Hog]

UAB leads 46-40 against Memphis at the half.

Still no inside game, but it sure is fun to watch the old style, plus they're winning.

[3kgthog]

Wen should've been on the football and track teams. He was a better football player than basketball player and high jumped something like 7 feet in high school.

Didn't Stan sign him?

He was one of Nolan's last recruits, along with Modica, and I believe Barry Jordan.

But he came in during Stan's first year.

[Sonofahog]

They have Brandon Tobias too.  He was a Hog recruit.  Gee,  how did these guys end up at UAB??

Oh, ok.  I was thinking he was one of Stan's first recruits that he went and signed real late in the year after he arrived on campus. 

[hogsrule44]

Where is Berry Jordan does anyone know?

[HOGLIGULA]

Where is Berry Jordan does anyone know?

was playing at ULL before allegations of paying players.

[1836hog]

Kindoff wish he had stayed.  He's playing great right now.

[1836hog]

I love to see members of the Arkansas family do well. :razorback:  Congrats to Coach Anderson, TJ Cleveland, and everyone at UAB!  Now, we can't have anymore bubble teams pick up big wins this week.

[Ugly Uncle]

Huge win.  Memphis is overrated.  Good for Mike.

[Squealers]

Huge 80-74 over number 3 ranked Memphis..............DANCE BOUND??

[Crappykat]

Now that was rushing the court!

[stronguard]

That particualr style of play will make someone's first round game quite a bit more interesting.

[Snort and Squeal]

Mike is all smiles!!!

[1836hog]

love to see that!  "We'll be ok...We'll be ok"

[BossHog13]

Great win, Mike! I for one wish you were our coach! I seriously miss that 40 minutes of hell!

[stronguard]

Maybe we could get a little UA vs UAB in the first round, maybe a 7 vs 10 or something?

[CiriusPorker]

I just watched UAB upset Memphis...and the crowd chanted overrated...

tho, i think memphis IS overrated and never really deserved to be ranked 3...i HATE it when crowds chant this because it essentially says that "we really didn't knock off a top team"

worst crowd chant ever...i always refuse to say it when i'm at a game against a top-ranked team in ANY sport and we happen to win.

[1836hog]

More like 12-5!

[pbjones81]

I wish we had Mike Anderson...

[CiriusPorker]

i'm excited for them..they played an excellent game, and Mike A..really deserves this one.

[Kilgor]

Wow, that was fun to watch...!!!

[1836hog]

Just saw where coach Anderson has 20+ wins now for the 4th straight year.   Wouldn't that be nice.  And no, I'm not bashing Stan just saying it would be nice.

[yraciv]

Former Hog just got a highlight in the UAB vs. Memphis game.  He appears to be doing well down there with Mike Anderson.

[1836hog]

Should have watched the game.  He played great and they talked about his hog connections all night.

[BossHog13]

My thoughts exactly!!!

yeah unfortunately I was watching Sonny Weems on an off night!

The grass always looks greener on the other side.  Think about all that would have had to have happened for Mike to get the head job.  We might have been better off, maybe not.  Who knows?

[heathshogs]

I hate that chant too, but as you said Memphis is overrated and even properly rated they knocked of probably a top 10 team.

[heathshogs]

Ferguson and Kendrick Davis were Stan's last minute additions to the recruiting class. Replacing Tobias and Andre Igoudala.

As someone said above I don't think Wen would ever work in Heath's system. But he can play a quick 4 for Anderson.

[Lt.Dangle]

Ferguson (as frustrating as he is at times) has been on heck of a pickup for that year.

[Patch]

I think this would be a Great chant if we were ranked #2 beating the #1 team though.

Where did Tobias end up?  Also, what year did Sullinger and Chris Jefferies leave?

[heathshogs]

A pick-up we certainly needed. He was force to start at PG as a freshman. Although he's sporadic and his role has varied throughout his 4 years. I've really enjoyed the intensity he's played with as his career is winding down at Arkansas. I said 2 weeks ago we should keep him on the court as much as possible right now.

[heathshogs]

Tobias switched his commitment to Mike Anderson at UAB. He's been a solid contributor.

Sullinger also left here after finding out Nolan would no longer be the coach.And instead of getting to play for the coach he always dreamed of, he went to the team he grew up followin  Ohio St. After sitting out a year for transferring he's Senior there now.

Chris Jefferies left after his freshman year 1998-99. Really thought he was going to be great here with Dean/Gipson /Cleveland/etc. But he basically got home sick and I believe ended up playing at Fresno St. 

[PiggoBitttys]

Yeah, Jefferies and Sullinger were two quality players that came and went. Iguodala would've been great too. BUT, guys like Mukubu, Tobias, Berry Jordan, even Sullivan, just are not SEC quality. There were still going to be some good players with Nolan, but way too many with not near enough talent.

[Porky OLeary]

We would have been better off, at least theoritically.
We wouldn't have gotten such a black eye for firing nolan if we'd hired mike.
We would have kept iggy and sullinger, hopefully still got brewer.
Would have kept 40 minutes of hell, and not lost our mojo for 3.5 years.

[Adam Stokes]

You also have to remember they are in the C-USA, so 20 wins should come fairly easy, nonetheless it was a great win and will help our recruiting.  Mike Anderson is doing a great job at a small name school.  Wasn't Nolan an assistant coach there for a while after he left Arkansas?  I remember seeing him on the bench once.

[PintailKiller]

Nolan was not an assistant there.  He does frequently attend UAB games and sits right behind the bench though.
