GAME THREAD: Arkansas Razorbacks vs Vanderbilt

[rljjr]

Today's college basketball is worse than it was 20 years ago.

It's the truth. Across the board it has gotten worse -- sometimes to the point it is un-watchable.

[Acehawg]

The officiating has gotten worse thats for sure...what are these guys thinking with some of their calls

LOL, that's a great sig. /offtopic

College basketball is hard to watch these days because of the one and done rule. College baseball eligibility rules would make a huge difference.

He was a personal mentor not a professional mentor obviously...

Yeah, I agree. Maybe we should use the college football rule to get college basketball back to respectabilty.

[Chic-Hog-Oh]

I predict at half the score will be 22 to 7

Nice prediction at the time. Vandy scored five points in the last minute os so, or else you would have been right on.....

Yep.  We have a long road ahead of us this season.  Was not impressed last night.

Yeah, I wasn't either. Won by 23 after forcing 26 turnovers and playing the best half court defense in a game in probably 10 years. Terrible performance.

Throw in our best offensive player didn't play the last 15 minutes of the first half, and our starters only played about 10 minutes in the second half...

Throw in our best offensive player didn't lay the last 15 minutes of the first half, and our starters only played about 10 minutes in the second half...

I agree the Hog offense wasn't Impressive at all but holding a D1 school like Vandy to 33 points with a 35 second shot clock in use is very, very impressive.

I was being sarcastic. Offense looked bad in the first half, but we were without BJ for most of it. Our defense was great.

We did look good  on defense, but it was against a bunch of freshies and sophs that aren't very good to start with.  Vandy has what two jr's and Zero sr's?

I know you were being sarcastic, I was just agreeing with you about the Hog defense.

[Wayne Watson]

The defense did look good but we should have had 48 points at the half against Vandy.

[GuvHog]

I agree. That's why I said the Hog offense wasn't good at all.
