GAME THREAD: Butler vs Arkansas

[systemroot]

Don't know what happened in the Dustin Thomas deal but this team hasn't been right since.

He could not stay off the weed!

[Hogsolo]

Crap... this team always plays bad when they get cocky. Had a bad feeling about this listening to the player interviews this week.

[From Tusk Till Dawn]

okay will you tell us when it's time to complain. Getting beat 21-2 in the first round of the NCAA Tournament 2 team that your higher seed than.
It's the typical Mike Anderson coached inconsistent b*******

No need to tell you, thats literally what you guys do

[Tejano Jawg]

I just got in a about 10 minutes ago...and it was 12-2. When I turned the TV on, in the first 5 seconds of our offensive possession, we looked strange. Can't explain it, just odd, uncertain, unorganized. And it's gone downhill sense.

If we don't figure it out, we'll be done by half. The last 2 minutes have looked better.

We played good against Florida

He was a glue guy. You don't see him a bunch in the stats, but he kept things together.

[Ugly Uncle]

A little bit of light

[BigSexyHog]

Couldn't have asked for a better start....Geez.... Still plenty of time just gotta take 1 possession at a time.

[steveaustin69]

not one of their threes are open! Have you even watched, they are all with 3 seconds on the shot clock!

Have you watched? They are open threes.

[Sho Nuff]

So this is what we get with a senior laden team in the tournament.  I don't think we will ever do anything significant under Mike, this was his best chance.

[Oliver]

Is it illegal for us to run plays to set up open 3s against one of the worst three defending teams in college basketball

[HeyHogs]

Testing?

[LRHawg]

Hall's rebound sums up this game so far. Can't even grab a soft loose ball.

[trippigs]

Leaving this thread.....hogs look bad but don't want to multiply the pain by ill wind on here

[HawgHeadCheese]

I think we will be ok Butler doesn't look that great against the pressure.

[gchamblee]

Yep fire Mike

you're an idiot. you should have been banned when you said Beard is a black eye to the university. Anyone that thinks you have a clue about what you are talking about regarding Arkansas Sports deserves their jimmy being rustled.

[rzrbk4life]

Barford 3!

[HamHands]

🤢🤮

[elkhog]

I don't think we even got off the bus. Wow no life in this team.

I noticed that.  It's like they all just crawled out of bed.  No energy and clumsy as hell.

[ishankem]

Hey, at least we made the tournament

[KentuckyFan]

The game isn't over fellas.

[The_Iceman]

All this media hype about "Unfinished Business" and looking at what suit and tie Mediocre Mike was going to wear.....how about just frickin preparing your team for their biggest game of the year?!?!?

[Tejano Jawg]

Small guy having his way with Gafford, pushing him around. So he's ready for the League?

[hawgdavis]

Finally some signs of life.

[gchamblee]

oh look. everyone that claimed the game was over in the first 5 minutes might be emotional reactionary tools lol

[GoHogzzGo]

The game isn't over fellas.

Agreed. I feel good about this still

[elksnort]

Butler can't miss a three!!!

you got to be kidding it's all about Butler huh

[99toLife]

The game isn't over fellas.

I agree, bad start, but coming back in a hurry.

[RaisinHog]

I think the press may be good here... Butler looks a little scared of it

[LJHOG]

Can't watch the game.  Just checked the score on ESPN.  The refs must really be hosing us, LOL!

[Hog Pharm]

Is it illegal for us to run plays to set up open 3s against one of the worst three defending teams in college basketball

I hear you. We have the two best 3pt shooters in the league but we don't try to get them good looks.

[collins4heisman]

make these 2 free throws were only down by 9. Game is far from over

[elkhog]

I'm going to do something I never do during a game.  Go get a drink.

[Oliver]

Can't watch the game.  Just checked the score on ESPN.  The refs must really be hosing us, LOL!

It's always the refs

[LRHawg]

We're going to need Gafford to win this one. It is winnable.

[PonderinHog]

Testing?

Be careful.

[HawgHeadCheese]

We have tighted up on defense. They aren't that great off the dribble besides Baldwin so the switch defense is working. We just have to stop helping so much

[LRSmitty79]

So sick of Anderson's bulls......he needs to be gone.  This year was mediocre and next year is going to be really bad with no Barford, Macon or Gafford. 

[Hog Pharm]

The game isn't over fellas.

Going to have to a better job on d. They're still getting wide open looks.

[Oliver]

I'm going to do something I never do during a game.  Go get a drink.

I can't fathom being a Razorback fan that doesn't drink.  Sado-masochist?

[razorbackchamps94]

They will get it going .. But like Tenn game might have dug a hole early.

[hog47]

Can't stand to watch! Turned off when we're down 18.  We just don't usually come back from that.

[artyhog]

They just need to settle down.  Get the last 10 minutes behibd them.

[Beaverfever]

Not too sure why it took so long to get Hall in the game but I'm glad he's in now.

[BannerMountainMan]

Down 11 with 30 minutes left!! Oh no it's over

[AHorseWithNoName]

We wanted to lull them to sleep.  Get them over confident.  Then come storming back.  Yeah, that's what i'm telling myself as i kick my couch and chug another beer!

[razorbackchamps94]

make these 2 free throws were only down by 9. Game is far from over

Agree

[HawgHeadCheese]

Great help side block by Hall. I initially thought that was a foul.

[hoglady]

Don't know what happened in the Dustin Thomas deal but this team hasn't been right since.

We miss him terribly. I understand their are rules that have to be enforced but man it's hurt the team.

[elksnort]

Obviously the game is not over but the inconsistent start it's just so painful to watch and it makes it much harder on yourself
