GAME THREAD: Arkansas Razorbacks @ Minnesota

[Danny J]

Fouls is what concerned me...

Again...this is what worried me and it's coming to pass.

[Razorbacks#1]

22-17 Gophers

[Little Lady Back]

Come on Hogs!! Fouls are killing us.

[Biggus Piggus]

We have very little offensive rebounding.

[ErieHog]

Is that why they are in the double bonus, good defense?

4 off ball offensive fouls so far, plus two on the offensive glass - so Defensive fouls have been minimal/acceptable

[ImHogginIt]

First time watching this year. I thought we added a little size and explosiveness. Sure doesn't look like it .

[razorbackchamps94]

How is Dustin Thomas a starter?

[Hogz87]

Minnesota has had two separate 9-0 runs since falling behind 13-7.

[Biggus Piggus]

They are getting poorly defended shots, and we are not.

[BassinHawg]

Let me guess . . . another season of "street-ball?"  No organization, no structure, no practiced/called plays - just run up and down the court and see what's available.  Come on CMA!

Ding, Ding, Ding! Winner!

[hogman99]

Running and coaching an effective half court offense is not that hard. 

[Razorbacks#1]

25-17 Gophers

[ICEman]

I hope these new transplants develop or otherwise it is going to be another abysmal season on the hill.

[ADavisTheGOAT]

Lol Anderson screwed up big time not getting Eric Curry.

[Dominicanhog]

Dusty is total non factor

[Razorbacks#1]

27-17 Gophers

[Biggus Piggus]

Moses will not take it to the hole.

[Breems]

Macon, please do more offense stuff and things.

[Razorbacks#1]

27-19 Gophers
Macon/2

[Biggus Piggus]

Dusty is total non factor

Like he is afraid to shoot.

[Razorbacks#1]

30-19 Gophers
TO@ 3:59

[OutlawHawg]

This is terrible.

[Biggus Piggus]

We are giving up open threes now and not even attempting any.

[98hogs]

I am ready for Manny Watkins to graduate already

[HogCzar1]

So far very unimpressive.

[razorbackfan4life]

Manny.. come on man. 

[BassinHawg]

How many times are they going to drive the baseline and turn the ball over?

[ErieHog]

Moses will not take it to the hole.

It would help if we got it to him nearer than 16 feet out.

He's not going to beat help defenders on the bounce.

[HogNiner12]

Get Watkins Out!!!

[razorbackchamps94]

I see no NCCA tourney in these hogs future

[Suidae]

This is becoming painful to watch.
Very frustrating.

[Dominicanhog]

Like he is afraid to shoot.

he's been packed three times already... slow and can't jump... it shows when someone goes man on him...

[bigred223]

Horrible

[Biggus Piggus]

I said (privately) that I was afraid this would be another Iowa State kind of game.

Non-league opponents that game-plan for us are very hard for us to beat, because we do no preparation at all for them.

[Breems]

This is the team's first big test and first road game. Playing tense and timid. The only thing that will break us out of this is a 3-point barrage from Hannahs and Macon. We aren't gonna get it done on the drive or in the paint.

[Biggus Piggus]

he's been packed three times already... slow and can't jump... it shows when someone goes man on him...

He has dealt with that his whole career. Averaged very good numbers last season. He's just in a funk.

[Letsroll1200]

Lack of ball movement and no flow to the game. Get Kingsley the ball and go to a zone defense out of this timeout. Pick up the pace

[Danny J]

4 off ball offensive fouls so far, plus two on the offensive glass - so Defensive fouls have been minimal/acceptable

Our D has just given up 6 straight easy shots...we need to come out of the press if our offense is going to continue to turn it over because by the time we wear them out they will have a 20 point lead...game over

[hogwood]

There seems to be a complete lack of confidence by everyone on offense. No one is willing to take it to the whole and put up a shot. We just keep passing it around until someone makes a dumb play to turn it over.

[Biggus Piggus]

Minnesota is not shooting until it is an open shot or right next to the basket. They are running offense until Arkansas lets up.

[Biggus Piggus]

What was that Moses?

[fieldturf]

What's Manny doing in there, put those 6-8 guys in there Mike!

[Hulk HOGan]

When does baseball season start?

[Scott7703]

I am ready for Manny Watkins to graduate already

You and me both. Any chance Anderson can graduate too?

[Razorbacks#1]

32-19 Gophers

[Hogz87]

This is ugly.  I'm not sure how good Minnesota is supposed to be, but on the verge of getting blown out by them, a non-top 25 power 5 team, isn't a good look.

[Danny J]

Dusty is total non factor

Their best defender has been glued to him...

[Hollywood_HOGan45]

This is very disappointing. Had a bad feeling about this game and it won't affect our season but this showing so far has been really really bad.

I thought we were going to be better.

[hogman99]

See that diagram by the TV crew? That's what happens when you run a switch on defense scheme. Showing it in slow motion and diagraming it makes it even worst. Wonder if we can send that to the coaching staff.

[Biggus Piggus]

They missed a shot but we gave up a bad offensive board and putback. We look asleep.
