GAME THREAD: Arkansas Razorbacks vs Kentucky

[alohawg]

CHEATIN Bastard refs!!!

It is really bad and obvious.

[hoglady]

The refs are letting them absolutely kill Miles and Thompson down low.
But if we don't start shooting and hitting some perimeter shots we will lose by 20.

[hobhog]

It is really bad and obvious.

Which is worse: refs or our free throw shooting at home?  Good grief.

[moses_007]

We are showing tonight what we are.  A .500 team at best.

[FreshHog]

Refs are an absolute joke. SEC should be ashamed that they let this darn go on. If only you could move 1 sport from your school to another conference. SEC football with any other conference basketball sure would be nice.

[RussVegas Hawg]

The Cats defense tonight is superb. They are on us like stink on a skunk.  Their defense is the difference so far.  We can't get a good shot at all.

When we cut and move the ball we've gotten any shot we've wanted or gotten fouled. We stand around the arc and play catch then yes they're all over us.

You're so clueless its amazing. I'd say shut the Frank up, but I'm not sure you're smart  enough to know what that means.

[wupigsuey]

Depends on if they want to win or not...

kinda feels like they want it too much. pressing

[lefty08]

We live by the three, and hit zero in the first half. That lead will disappear quickly if we can get some shots off.

The officiating is fine, it's just inconsistent. Let them play for 8 minutes then tighten up the rest of the way. That's the frustrating part

[BigSexyHog]

Rough first half.  Need a near perfect 2nd half to get the W.

[Wild Bill Hog]

You would have the same guys reffing.

[HogFather1]

I started wishing Mike would get a technical about 6 minutes into the game and that feeling only grew as the half went on!!!!!
Nolan would have already got a tech, and a lot of times that can spark a turnaround if you do it early enough in the half

[CFB_Fanatic]

Why can't a team coached by mike Anderson block out??? I've watched this for the last 3 years. When the ball is shot we either have 3 players going for the block or even worse out guys just turn around and stare to see if the ball was made. Not one player consistently blocks out.  It's pathetic.

[Knot2brite]

Kentucky figured out what a lot of teams haven't...stop Bell and Hannahs from outside and body up Moses and Arkansas doesn't have enough offense to beat you. Hannahs can put the ball on the floor and score but Bell isn't as comfortable doing that. Moses can take his man to the goal but he is the only one on the low block that is consistent

[HoopS]

We aren't playing worth a crap. Refs aside. We are blowing this game for ourselves. Kentucky is shooting bricks and we can't rebound. And we can't make free throws. Better wake up. MA needs to do something.

And that is why we are losing.  It's isn't the refs, Kentucky is the aggressor on both sides and they are out hustling us

[Iamjacksleftnutt]

The block/charge on Moses went the wrong way. I didn't see the traveling call I thought it was good for an and 1 ? It does seem like the officials are picking on Moses. Likely because of his intensity. They want to kill the teams leader under direct order from Cal and the SEC home office to not let KY loose again.

PATHETIC. It isn't helping that we came out tight. Hopefully we loosen up soon.

[ErieHog]

This is what happens when a jump shooting team doesn't shoot well.

We're going to have games like this.

[Razorbacks#1]

2nd underway

[Redbug]

[PonderinHog]

Gotta make free throws.

They are playing defense well, but we are helping them out by refusing to move much on offense. Either shoot it or fake, drive, and dish.

We've had some success attacking the rim, and drawing contact, but haven't been good enough from the line to make them pay.

[b_stackhouse]

4 guards to start the 2nd half?? That should help the rebounding.

[Razorbacks#1]

40-26 UK

[PonderinHog]

Good grief, ref!

[HoopS]

There you go ref. Make it about you you sorry official.

You think maybe Cal and the SEC home office told Mike to be sure we came out tight?  Could be a conspiracy.

[pigture perfect]

Not a smart Tech by Moses.

[BassinHawg]

Screw CMA, at least Kingsley is taking up for himself, his coach won't!

CMA never gets a T

[The Hogfather]

Worst refs ever.  I [CENSORED] hate the SEC refs.  Absolutely terrible and obviously biased/protecting their higher ranked teams.

[PonderinHog]

3rd shot clock violation.

[Razorbacks#1]

41-30 UK
Bell/2

[Hogsmo Kramer]

If I'm Mike I get thrown out of this game right there.

That ref would be lucky if I'd didn't shove his whistle up his rear end on that one no joke.

[BigSexyHog]

This is what happens when a jump shooting team doesn't shoot well.

We're going to have games like this.

Yeah.  This is the wrong team to have a night like tonight.

If we should come back and win, I'll watch from the DVR.

Truth hurt?
I guess those pesky refs made us miss all the ft' and shots. If we are losing it is always the refs. That's embarrassing no one wants to lay blame where it really belongs. I guess some of you think bad refs travel and do our road and home games. Guess they don't want us making a final 4 push.

[dhizzle]

I get it that you miss calls sometimes, but when it is right in front of you come on man.

TO@ 15:46
Hannahs too the line out of the break

[PonderinHog]

does the three point streak end tonight?

[HoopS]

weve shot 4 threes. We need to get more off and see what happens. Hannahs can't hesitate. We need to move the ball sharply and some will open up but shoot it. Quick.

[Wild Bill Hog]

Worst refs ever.  I [CENSORED] hate the SEC refs.  Absolutely terrible and obviously biased/protecting their higher ranked teams.

You do know there's no such thing as an "SEC ref" don't you?

[XavierZane]

We can't be afraid of the three.  Only four attempts!?
