GAME THREAD: Arkansas Razorbacks vs Texas A&M

[Fort Dweller]

I almost posted, "Go A&M!  Be Aggies!

Their bodies reject success...and women.

Moses, Bell and Hannahs went 12-14 from the FT line.  Watkins 0-3 but he played a lot of minutes compared to normal. 

[Breems]

A&M's offensive execution and shot selection was off most of the night. The TOs helped disrupt their flow. A good example of how pressure can disturb the opponent in ways other than steals.

hey, beating #5 no matter where it is is a good win.  Congrats Hogs.  Its like the announcer crew was saying.  Hogs could be 13-6 just as easily as 9-10 (before the game tonight).  Maybe this can be a win that the team can build upon.

Only ONE little teeny weeny item--please Hogs, work on those FTs.  Missed 8 of them tonight.  Things could be a little bit easier if they had made 4 or 5 of those 8 misses.  But overall, great job by the guys.  Proud of them.  WPS!!!

Let reel off 5 or 6 straight now!!!!

Knocking off the #5 team in the nation, awesome. Hope this is the confidence builder and a spring board to get us going the rest of the season. Go HOGS!

Great call to get the ball in Dusty's hands at the end!

A&M looked like a Bruce Pearl coached team.

Those announcers definitely had a bulge for the Aggies.

[MemphisBossHog]

They got a good look.

to be honest, it really was a good look.  It was 3-4 feet behind the line--more like an NBA 3 pointer but it was a clear open look.  So glad he clanged it.

Great win!  The one smart thing either announcer said all night is that, with a young team like ours, their confidence is so up and down that a win like this can leave them thinking they can win any game.  I think our team is going to have some swagger for the rest of the season.

I hope so.  Confidence is really important with a team like ARK (any team for that matter).  When the guys see a ball go thru the net, they want to redouble their defensive effort.  Beating a team like the Aggies might just be the confidence builder they need.  Lets hope so!!

It certainly was....I was hoping we would foul late but obviously glad we didn't.

[HoopS]

We made FT late, Hannahs did. And we didn't have a crucial turnover in the last half minute. If we could have executed like that all season, you're looking at wins over Mercer, Dayton, Stanford, Wake, LSU and Georgia. 16-4 wouldn't look bad.

[Hogsmo Kramer]

Larger question - have you cracked a homebrew, Hogsmo?

Man I am ashamed to say I floated my last keg during the Georgia game so I'm drinking, gasp.....store bought beer.

Gonna brew up a Porter next week though to replenish my stash.

[OperationRestoreHawgBall]

I love how every time we give up on this team, they surprise us.

[Hogsmo Kramer]

Say it ain't so, Hogsmo! 

May your stash be replenished and plentiful!

Haha thanks man!

I missed another game. In my defense, i was asleep after working late today.

[razorbackfan4life]

I had great seats.. 4 rows up. 

Hell of a game to go to.  Glad we got the win!  WPS!

Watched on tv. The hogs finished last night. The only problem I had watching the game was the A&M uni's. The white collar really stuck out in a bad way. I hope our hogs never wear anything like that. Good game. Go Hogs!
