After a long season of some highs and some lows, this season has proven that Mike is the man to lead the Razorbacks. At the end of the day this was a good season!! So close but still so far to go!! It's been a fun year Hogville. Just keep watching

[PharmacistHog]

Good season. Congrats to Mike and the hawgs.

[Danny J]

We were so close...my heart was beating out of my chest

[apcapri]

Good season and trending up as a program. Can't complain about that. WPS!

[PORKULATOR]

Intense game.

[HawgnCorona]

Some of us have always believed. ..those of you that don't. To you good riddance.  You aren't wanted here....go find another team to root for....

[Knot2brite]

I believe that he got THIS team to realize their potential and play to their abilities...next year will be the year we see if he is the coach that you and others think that he is with the loss of our only true low post player. I hope he does prove to be the one to lead us...I said that he had to get to the tourney to keep his job and he did ...he gets a couple year pass from mento see how he does with the uber recruits...if it takes three more years to get to the dance...then we have a problem...I really hope he does well

We needed to continue to pressure them hard and get our foot on their neck.  We just didn't do that.  So close. 

They had more talent, really good coaching, grew up against better competition so should have been better.  About all we had was effort.  Effort, even without great talent, can and nearly was a difference maker.  I am proud of the effort.  We looked like the untrained, go to pieces team we were thought to b for a period of time early on, but we righted the ship and played above our abilities for well over half the game.  Not a bad season overall and though we lost, ending the season like we did will be talked about by many for weeks to come.

they really weren't that mucch talented. by stars or mc donalds all americans maybe. i wouldn't take berry over macon or barford. kingsley is better than meeks. . Justin Jackcson and that 7 foot center are the only legit NBA type guys on that team

[Pig Worshipper]

Mike needs to get the Allen's and Monk's in Razorback uniforms. If he does that and gets them to play with the heart our overmanned team played with today, no doubt, he'll be the right man for the job.

They have 2-3 guys that will play in the NBA and we have maybe one. Kingsley was special on defense but couldn't finish enough around the basket.

Tell him great job and keep recruiting!

[songofthesword]

north carolina really doesn't put a lot of players in the league roy doesn't go after nba types. that team that beat us 2 years ago didn't have one NBA player on it. wait one, brcye johnson

that centeer bradley is going to play in the NBA. that's really it. justin jackson is a really good college player but not an NBA player.

[hawgdavis]

We need a couple of big bodied bigs that can bang and block out. The teams that are ding we'll have these kind of players inside. Big O, Darnell Robinson, Corliss Williams types.

[jbhogfan4]

I was as down as anyone after that tough stretch of games in February. As it stands today, I can't be more proud of how this team came together this year under Mike's leadership. We've got the right man in charge with Mike. I am confident in that.

Jackson will play in the NBA

Great season.   

[sickboy]

Mike's a good coach. I already knew he was a good coach, but I think he's better than even I gave him credit for. Hope he can get the talent he needs to make a deep run and keep things at this level. I think he can do it.

[Hollywood870]

Ready for next season. Hope we add another good recruit. Look forward to seeing Bailey out front on the press.

Until we can run a halfcourt set to get a shot under pressure? I'm not sold.

I'm not sure we've been able to do that -- consistently -- since 1983. It's a key component of winning close games.

Of course, if we can run opponents into the ground, who wants a close game?

But we often seem to need just 4-6 more points in 3-4 minutes.

It's concerning.

The game plan was on point. We struggled in the halfcourt due to the length of Carolina. No issue with the game plan at all.

Would you say the same thing about Greg Marshall today?

They won a lot of close game this year....if I remember correctly. It's just that the losses stand out more.

I'm sold. Mike is the man.

Proud of the Hogs for not giving up. Have to shore up those slow starts but not much to complain about after going 26-10 and having a 5 point lead with 3:00 minutes to go on a #1 seed with a chance to go to the sweet 16. Great come back, tough loss. Bounce back and be more consistent next year and the sky's the limit. BTW 1/5 pick and roll with Macon and Kingsley would have killed them down the stretch. It was working all night but ole well. Maybe next time against North Carolina of course. lol... :razorback:

[BigE_23]

I was in the fire Mike camp earlier in the season. After the run to end the season, I was back on the fence. After tonight, I'm ready to admit that I was wrong - Mike is the right man for the job.

For Arkansas to be successful, we need a man who can capitalize on the "us versus the world" mentality. Mike learned that from Nolan and this team bought in down the stretch.

In 1993, we lost to UNC and knew we were on the verge of something special. I felt that way tonight.

Congrats to coach Anderson. I'm glad he's our coach.

[Youngsta71701]

Being honest I was pleasantly surprised with played them that close. I'm telling you guys the SEC is so much better in basketball than they have been compared to other power 5 and power basketball conferences. I think we've all seen and realize that now. Of course you'll still have your naysayers and people that just want to be negative but it is what it is. The SEC is much better that people though or realized. They are even better than I have realized after watching the tournament so far.

[WorfHog]

I don't think it matters how much we believe. The fix is in from the beginning.  The Ncaa is just mad they had to show their hand. The only stat that can't be controlled is free throws are you can see exactly where the game was handed to them.

We had an excellent record in games decided by 5 points or less this season. We didn't look great at the end against a 1 seed, but that three minute stretch shouldn't cause us to forget exactly how clutch this team was in close games this season.
