Kentucky vs Arkansas

[jdunhog]

Will be a sellout and a helluva game. David vs Goliath with Malik Monk in attendance with his Kentucky shirt on. Bring them on!!!!

[Hollywood_HOGan45]

we play LSU first but I cannot wait to go to this game next thursday!

[jdunhog]

We are expected to get beat by LSU.  They beat Kentucky by 18!

We're gonna get pasted by LSU. they rebound really well and have tons of scorers and good size. Kentucky might be more winnable. They aren't very good inside and Ulis is being asked to play a ton of minutes.

Yes, LSU has so much talent but they are up and down.

Hopefully they are down again on Sat night.

[Biggus Piggus]

Craig Sword scored 20 on Kentucky tonight, and Malik Newman had 14. MSU had outstanding shooting percentages.

Kentucky won because they dominated the boards + MSU had 19 turnovers.

Skal Labissiere has become an afterthought. Yup, UK is the place where one-and-dones are taken care of best!

Every game is different....can't compare scores, especially in hoops...we just ran Mizzou out of their own gym by 34...Auburn just lost to Mizzou by 15 in the same arena...according to your theory of comparing scores, that means we beat AU by 49 ?  I seriously doubt that's gonna happen...not even close...each game presents different match-ups and you go from there

One good thing: Arkansas gets an extra day of rest, which helps offset back-to-back road games.

LSU depends a lot on turnover margin and taking the ball to the hole. Best case is if Arkansas's guards start making threes, which will prompt LSU's guards to start taking too many shots. If they pound the ball inside, the Hogs will have problems.

One thing i noticed from the UK/LSU game is that UK was selling out to stop simmons at all costs. This left Quarterman and others open as the double and sometimes triple teams collapsed on Simmons. I hope we don't try that. We'll have a bad time if we do and they are hot from 3.

[Biggus Piggus]

As much as I want to destroy Kentucky, beating LSU would be huge.

Are you trying to keep your mizzou prediction mojo going?? It must be it because you surely don't want to look that silly again for no good reason, LOL!

[Atlhogfan1]

18 reg season wins looks achievable

[HognitiveDissonance]

I also think we have a 50/50 shot at beating Kentucky at home.

No. i honestly don't think we will beat either LSU or Kentucky.

[Kevin]

Very rarely play well in Baton Rouge   

[cosmodrum]

I like the way the Hogs are trending, but LSU should roll us.

[AirForceHog]

No. i honestly don't think we will beat either LSU or Kentucky.

Thanks for the honesty. I still think the Hogs have a chance to win both.

[wheelspigharvey]

I'd be over the moon if we could win either game

Stub hub has tons of tickets for $9... Lower level for $50

[gmarv]

 winning one of these next two will be big. if I have to pick I really like beating kenlucky.

THIS!
Beating UK in basketball is like beating Bama in football. Visibility to the basketball program.

fair enough. i hope we do beat them. i hate kentucky with a passion.

[bphi11ips]

Hogs can beat anyone shooting the way they did last night.  It will happen again this season with this group.  The question is when.

I like Hannahs' running jumpers and floaters and Whit's little jumper from 15 feet.  Those are money and more consistently reliable than the three pointers that have been raining lately.  They also open up the bigs cutting to the basket.  Kingsley is becoming a steady presence in the low post the Hogs have been missing for years.  Durham is a true point guard.  Bell and Hannahs are the best three point shooters we've seen in a while.

This is a good basketball team that can beat you in a number of ways. 

[PORKULATOR]

I'd be over the moon if we could win either game

I'd take that or win both  of them and then let down against a schmuck

[hogwood]

Just had a dream that we lost 52-7. Yikes. Don´t think that will happen though.

it is possible to win both

Or, 'Godzilla vs Dracula' as Guy V. Lewis said on TV once?

Memorable quote.

[Atlhogfan1]

Looks like AU will win.  Up 7 with 19.8 left. 

[ADavisTheGOAT]

Cal is mediocre as a coach. He relies on talent alone.

[Atlhogfan1]

AU 12-26 from 3 - made up for being -17 in FGA's due to 18 UK off reb

+13 in FTA partially due to some late fouling by UK 


I could see Hogs using this formula to beat UK in BWA.

[WorfHog]

Kentucky is the most unsporting team in the nation. Don't even stick around to shake hands, off the court before the game is over.  They just expect that they should be given every game and when they don't win they throw tantrums. I hate Kentucky and Cal! Congrats to Auburn! Hogs have a good shot!

Right decision.  AU fans have no idea how to act when winning in basketball.  With the locker room opposite end from UK bench, can't blame Cal.  Avoid an incident with fans vs UK players. 


UK's trip to BWA will be their 4th road trip in 5 games.  They aren't hurting opponents from 3.  Kind of reminds me of the UK team from 2014 in that off reb offsets it. 

They are 6th in college bask in off reb %.
They are 287th in 3pt made per game. 

[jry04]

Auburn could have won that going away if they were able to shoot worth a flip. UK was slow getting back, and played with very little effort. That has kind of been the way they have played all season, though. Auburn was just shooting up bricks on wide open shot attempts early in the game. Give us those looks and we will score a lot in a hurry on UK.

[Hogz87]

Watching he highlights on SEC Network and no wonder Auburn won.  Two of the made 3s they showed during the highlight segment were just absurd, ridiculous, "that was a fluke" three-pointers, especially the stepback, fadeaway, heavily contested banked in 25-footer.

Was it the "right desicion" to taunt Auburn players and fans as they left the court?  Cal's slime and so are his players.

[hogwood]

People who are going to the game should make signs that say BEAT SLIMEBALL U!

Nahhh...the students should have SELL OUT printed on small posters and hand them out to every person.

Malik Monk should get 10, and 15 more mailed to his house after we beat them.

Taunting them?  I did see Ulis waving his hands like players do to get fans to get louder. Compare that to Pitino flipping off the crowd or Coach K not shaking hands with Syracuse players?

This guy is Good!

[hobhog]

If there is ANY chance we go dancing this year, this is a must win.

Considering where we were just two weeks ago I can't believe I even just posted that, but I think it's true. Win here and somehow pick off UGA on road and we can start building a nice little conference resume'.

I know it's a long shot, but "we have a chance".

[The real Hogules]

It's at home, so we should get some help from the zebras and our team seems to shoot the 3 ball better in BWA.

[hawginbigd1]

Just saw in MMQB Vegas has us a 1.5 fav!

[tysonr7]

Tom Leach thinks Calipari would have won at least 1 game if his 2012 or 2015 played at Arkansas.

Do you agree.

lol

[UKChamps]

Well, we are still not very good, but I'll take an SEC road win.

[Atlhogfan1]

2 3pt makes and only 12 attempts was not going to do it when UK was going to outrebound them.  Only caused 6 turnovers. 

[ArkansasI]

WTH was that?  If you're not thouroghly pissed off, then you're not a Hog fan. Out- hustled, out-defended, out-coached...  Moses Kingsley should line up his teammates and kick each of them in the ass.

That Kentucky team is beatable. We come off a tough loss at Baton Rouge and play without intensity. Things may get very ugly in the next couple of weeks. Don't blame the fans - the team should apologize for that performance.

Can't disagree here, other than I thought Hannahs played his ass off also.

Overreaction!!!! Those guys played hard but just didn't make shots.
