GAME THREAD: Arkansas Razorbacks vs Wofford

[hawgfan4life]

Fans complaing we were not playing hard are freaking idiots.  We may not have played smart or fundamentally sound but we played hard that entire game if we did anything at all.

Those beaching about they are disciplined and smarter are freaking idiots and you sound racist.  Arkansas style is not fundamentally sound all the time and inherently has a lot of stupid mistakes at times.  Quit beaching about those things or go root for some all white team some where.  We are what we are.  If it isn't what you want or can get behind positively even if you don't like the style, go root for another team.

My gosh this thread is embarrassing.

Why do the Kentucky Wildcats get to play home games in every tournament?

[PonderinHog]

Yeah, but how any times did Portis have to shoot to get into double figures???
He's "usually" very efficient on the offensive end of the court, but that certainly was NOT the case in tonight's contest.
Hopefully that'll dumb it down enough for you to understand what I'm talking about.

My post.












Your head, genius.

[dhizzle]

Racist? I'm confused.

[sickboy]

Thats RUN, singular.... Or are you not old enough to remember that there has only been one.

Over the years we've made multiple runs en route to Elite 8s, final fours and, yes, one championship. You don't have to win a championship to make a run.

[hawgfan4life]

That was too exciting!  We had a chance to go up by 7 with around 12 minutes left but only managed a 3-point lead due to missed shots/turnovers.  Add in a few more made free throws and Hogs win by 10.  This season is a big success in my book now.  Sweet 16 would be amazing. 

Why not comment on what they accomplished that same time frame?  Evidently it was less than us...

[Laughing Hog]

What's that? I couldn't hear you over the tinkling ice in my glass.

Did you say you were tinkling over the ice in your glass?

[Hogfaniam]

We beat a good team on an off shooting night, especially at the line.  I'll bet everything goes in Saturday.

We shot 46%!  We've shot a lot worse and won.  We didn't get the turnovers we are accustomed to and when we did, we didn't score off of them.  We just stood around and allowed 16 offensive rebounds.  That is something we can totally control and didn't.  Cut those down to 5-6 and its a blow out because Wofford couldn't hit consistently from the outside.  They made some prayers and still shot 31.6%.  That offensive rebound at the end almost cost us the ball game.  3 Hogs just stood there flat footed and watched it come down. 

If Mike could get those guys to buy into getting defensive rebounds, his press conferences would be much more enjoyous.  Doing so would have us winning 56-43 and everybody would be much happier.

It's one of those foreign things.

Hey, sometimes you run out of the good stuff and you're still thirsty. It's the same color.

Amirite?

Oh, OK, I guess I understand. I think I need some more whisky.

#1 Seed.
Same reason Duke gets to play in North Carolina, Zags get to play in Washington Nova in Penn.

[OzarkRazor]

anbody know where to see the post game presser?

[Razor1997]

Absolutely.  For all the things that went against us that game, the team played hard.  Playing hard was the only thing that saved us this game, because everything else was against us.

Ok I didn't need that visual after all I've had to drink tonight

Yes you are, but it still doesn't seem quite right.

[dhornjr1]

I'm gonna get my .22 and try to pick off whatever that is on Pete Gillen's head.

[hoglady]

I'm not convinced SMU didn't get the screwing of the tournament, but that's their problem I guess.

I know - that just didn't look like goaltending to me. I'd hate to be an SMU fan tonight.

[Hawgzinbowlz]

We're mentally tough.

Wofford actually shot fairly well from the three.  Their two point shooting was off, fortunately.

29%.  The threes brought their avg down

It really fell off at the end.  Mea culpa.

They lost their legs.  We wore them out.

You want me to feel sorry for them

I'm still pissed Madden tried to throw in the shoe early...there was a lot more game to be played. 

[Hogfaniam]

Hale no.

[RussVegas Hawg]

Harvard is actually a good team. They've won NCAA games before. We just got out rebounded by the shortest team in the tourney.

Yea Wofford is actually pretty good also

6 final 4's is multiple as is back to back finals and other elite 8's and sweet 16's so RUNS is appropriate

Which game you watching in Saturday's UNC slot since the Razorbacks aren't going to be there? (or if they were, you surely wouldn't want to be "embarrassed").

[TomasPistola]

Mike better get his darn together this offseason. This kind of crap coaching and play calling. Our guys just look lost, no sense of urgency whatsoever. We deserve to lose

Literally zero thanks for your service.

Probably one of the worst responses I've seen on a messageboard. I know you were upset about the game, but you really suck for saying that.

[TheRazorback500]

AHHH! Like waking up to good news!* WPS!

*until I looked at the radar..  (river rising)

I want to go to the beach

[Big Daddy]

I don't give d@mn how we won. After that crazy day i'm excited to be here.

[GuvHog]

Yeah, but how many times did Portis have to shoot to get into double figures???
He's "usually" very efficient on the offensive end of the court, but that certainly was NOT the case in tonight's contest.
Hopefully that'll dumb it down enough for you to understand what I'm talking about.

I can cut Bobby a little slack for last night's game because to be perfectly honest. he got MUGGED underneath the basket all night and Wofford very rarely got called for it. Good win though.

They win more....

[Carl Lazlo]

I know - that just didn't look like goaltending to me. I'd hate to be an SMU fan tonight.

Didn't see that one. I did catch the end of LSU vs ncstate and that looked to be offensive basket interference.  Ball was still in cylinder and a ncst player tipped it in.

[opineonswine]

Yea Wofford is actually pretty good also

It's hard to have concluded that by looking at their resume.  30 point blowout losses to Duke and West Va. (granted it was in Dec).  But then a couple inexplicable losses to nobodies and close wins in their conference.

I think you can throw out records when it gets to the NCAAT except maybe the 16 seeds.  The higher seeded teams play tight, especially in the first game, and the lower seeded teams play out of their minds.

And, finally, as the tournament has shown over the last decade, in basketball you can be a small school and still be salty. 

I wish there was a better way of ranking conferences.  The Big 12, for example, looks highly over-rated (again) and the SEC appears to be under valued by those rankings. 

Now to NC.  I have to say I'm not as impressed with them as past teams.  They obviously have talent (superior to us) but they play brain dead for stretches.  Hoping that continues and we get our late season efficiency back.
