SEC Tournament Game 9: Arkansas vs. Tennessee

[HOGSWEAT]

Surely we're not 22 points worse than the Vols? Well... time to prove it!

[jgphillips3]

I love the Razorbacks, but Tennessee is better than us this year.  I believe they are probably 10 points better than us on a nuetral floor BUT none of that matters.  All that matters is what happens on the Court today.  LSU should have run us off the field in football, but we snuck up and bit them where the sun didn't shine with a nuttjob as coach...then they trotted off to SEC and National championships.  I think we have a good shot at UT today and an excellent shot at the tournament title if we get by them.

[HOGSWEAT]

I think you're exactly right. No question they are better than us... but not as much as they beat us by @ Tenn.

I'm going to say we keep this game within 5 points.

I hope your right, and I'll root my tail off for them, but I just don't think it will happen...

I wouldn't put money on the Hogs winning... but they will win, at least that's what the two Ervins in my head keep telling me.

[Coach Obvious]

If Weems is "on," and Ervin doesn't throw the ball to the Vols too many times today, we'll win by 4.

If Weems is off, and Ervin is in turnover mode, we'll lose by 11.

[Hollywood_HOGan45]

arkansas has the athletic ability and the size inside to really get after the Vols. I thought we had the ability to be in the top 25 and stay there but we were just way too inconsistent.

Now this group of players can change their legacy in these next two weeks. If they show the heart and guts they did yesterday and if Bev and Weems are hitting from the outside, we can beat down the vols.

but will we?

we will see in about 4 hours.

[Hollywood_HOGan45]

quick, say we'll lose!

you said that last time and UT killed us.

dont jinx us this time.

[Shuga Town HEMI]

What channel is the game on in central arkansas?

[hogsailor]

The game is at 5 right?

[weresoclose]

This Hog team needs the crowd more than ever.  Everyone related to 3rd string trombonists gotta show up. 

[NuttinItUp]

The game is at 5 right?

Central time, yes at 5.
6pm local time (Eastern)

[HOGSWEAT]

Why is it at 5... UGH!! lol

Why not just play it right now

[NuttinItUp]

Why is it at 5... UGH!! lol

Why not just play it right now

To give the teams time to rest since they will play immediately following that one?

[hogsailor]

Central time, yes at 5.
6pm local time (Eastern)

Thanks. I thought it came on after the KvG game but got some huntin show.

My wife is happy cause she can stay out shopping now and I'm happy cause I get the house to myself a couple more hours!!!

[Hollywood_HOGan45]

Why is it at 5... UGH!! lol

Why not just play it right now

i dont get that either.
i figured we would play right after that game and then play the other semi game later that day.

^^^Post of the week candidate right there^^^

[HOGSWEAT]

haha im ready for game time

[revolution]

This team has been somewhat of a disappointment, but let's give them props for making the SEC Finals last year and the semis (at least) this year.  Most every other team in the conference would like to have such mediocre (for us) success.  Even though we're not all the way back, we're still better than 85% of the college basketball world.

Now it's time to climb back into the top 5-10%!  WPS!

[HOGSWEAT]

Wait, our game is delayed now too?

[Banx32]

any one think derrick favors will be there? he is from atlanta and since the hogs and ga. are recruiting him i wouldnt be suprised if he came...that is if he can get in... http://www.rivals.com/viewprospect.asp?pr_key=44563&Sport=2

[Breems]

OM was here earlier today, but posted nothing.  Go figure.

Heh, still recovering from his "Vandy will beat Ark easy" thread.

[MDH]

SECT needs to be somewhere else...  Will they ever play these games?

EDIT: Ok, I guess so.  ESPN lied to me again...

[40MINSOFHELL]

tenn. has more fans than us

[Ulysses_S_Grunt]

lets go hogs!!!

[Table Rocker]

Where's Olliver Miller when we need him?

he's hiding out until this game is over. if we lose, he'll come back claiming he was only off by a game. he'll be spinning more than a pinwheel. of course, if we win, it'll be another day before we see him.

[MDH]

GO HOGS!

[Breems]
