Arkansas - Alabama Game Thread. Final Arkansas 71 Bama 59

[ishankem]

fortson looking for the foul, didn't get it

[Danny J]

He didnt even have possession or time to call a timeout. The refs suck

[PoconoHog]

Bama   34  -  32  :23
Time Out    Bama has the ball

[3kgthog]

Good job Fort. Completely out of control again.

[HoggySTruman]

Not sure if I wouldnt rather have Scott Rose at the point than CF...

[HOG1947]

that's what he needs.  You can't go into a game without a lot of playing time and expect to become the best player on the court in a matter of minutes.

My bad. I mistakenly thought he PLAYED THE WHOLE LAST FRIGGIN YEAR! He is not a "rookie". And not only that... I'm not hoping for him to be the best player on the court. He handles the ball so much, just don't be the WORST one!!!

[wildhawgs5]

34 to 32  alabama at the half

[BigSexyHog]

I have never in my life seen a PG get absoultly no calls when he is dribbling till I saw CF play.  Just don't understand why he can't get the calls

[PoconoHog]

Bama leads   34  --  32  Halftime

[SteveInArk]

Close enough....  let's kick butt in the 2nd half...

[Danny J]

Not looking too good folks.

[Hawgon]

Fortson has more turnovers than assists in the first half.  He has four assists and five or six turnovers.

[Danny J]

I have never in my life seen a PG get absoultly no calls when he is dribbling till I saw CF play.  Just don't understand why he can't get the calls

WHen he drives down low he tries too hard to dribble around players instead of trying to create contact.

[Break & Run]

Great job...putting words into my mouth.  I know he played all year and i NEVER called him a ''rookie''.  The fact is, he hadn't seen game action until the Texas game.  You can't expect him to get back into the starting line up and him help us win every game.  If you do, go root for someone else because it's impossible to put that on a 20 year old kids back like that.

[midwestcityhog]

These REFS are SOOOO frustrating


Fortson is getting MUGGED - no foul.

Farmer wiggles his fingers - foul

What a DISGRACE of OFFICIATING.

A fair called game and we'd be up by 10.

no way.  some of that 'out of control' would be called a foul (where he gets to shoot) if he was any other PG in the nation

SERIOUSLY REFS why do yall have fortson?  what do you have against him? do you read hogville or something?!?!?!

[BigSexyHog]

He gets contact all the time, enough to knock him off his line.  Yes, he is out of control at times, but he never gets the benefit of the calls like other PG's.  I like the fact he plays through it and he doesn't let it bother him to much, but maybe he does need to create more contact.

SEC refs are just bad, period. Ignoring any kind of bias, just watch SEC basketball and you'll see nothing but horrible calls being made.

[UltimateHog]

He's a Sophmore that's played 2 games this year.

Stop being so frickin critical, Fort will be lucky to hit midseason form by Vandy.

Part of it, he's only gonna get better, I promise.

I don't get the no-calls on Fort either.  Very frustrating

[3kgthog]

The refs aren't going to call fouls when Fortson is wild and jumping into defenders. Don't blame them for his flaws.

[Break & Run]

Not looking too good folks.

Not looking too good?  hm...i could have swore Arkansas is a 2nd half team......bc they're definitely not a 1st half team...

You know why we arent getting the calls? Anthony grant at the beginning of the game got all up in the refs face. After that we havent been getting the calls. There are alot of calls being made but they are not being made consistantly on both ends of the floor

[thirtythree]

Looked like one of the Bama players was hurt on the bench. Couldn't make out who it was though.

Not a great half, but not terrible either.

let's go in the 2nd half Hogs!

[BigSexyHog]

Not a bad 1st half,  kinda disappointed after the 8-0 start.  Lot better shape then against Miss St.  Hopefully we get a couple of early runs and make Bama play catch up in the 2cd.

[Danny J]

So is bama. We have not been able to close games out all year with the exception of mizz state

Nice point +1

no no, don't you know?  A two point deficit is insurmountable. We have no chance.

[Danny J]

Nice point +1

You think pelphrey would have noticded the same thing and started getting pissed. Never forget how nolan used to stare at the refs.

[dsims2k3]

Arkansas is putting up a good effort. Lets see how they look midway through the second half.

[Smokehouse]

You think pelphrey would have noticded the same thing and started getting pissed. Never forget how nolan used to stare at the refs.

I don't think 'not getting in the refs face' is a problem of Pel's. In fact, I've seen people say many times that he goes off too hard on the refs and that's why we don't get some calls.

Me, I think SEC refs are just incompetent.

You are right about that

Yep, with SEC refs, darned if you do, darned if you don't....  frustrating as heck!

[thirtythree]

Let's go Hogs. See y'all after the game.

[elksnort]

We have got to rebound better on both ends of the court
or
We must press like Nolan's teams used to.

We must do one or the other.

[PoconoHog]

2nd Half just underway
Bama leads  34  --  32

[BigSexyHog]

You knew things were about to get serious when that stare down came out... His players knew it and so did everyone else...

[PoconoHog]

Tied   34 --  34

[jacksonpollock]

Halftime...If we play the 2nd half like that we will only lose by 4 points, on track for another moral victory....GO HOGS...Its not funny, but I have come to expect moral victories. :razorback:

[PoconoHog]

Bama  36  --  34  18:33

[SteveInArk]

Draw blood, and no foul on Clarke... hmmm

[PoconoHog]

36  --  36

[ErieHog]

Ridiculously fast jump ball call.

[Smokehouse]

Draw blood, and no foul on Clarke... hmmm

I think that's the second time this season I've seen Clarke bleeding with no foul.

[BigSexyHog]

No blood - no foul right refs... Opps my bad their is blood

[PoconoHog]

Hogs 38  -- 36   17:13

[wildhawgs5]

38 to 36. Nice put back dunk by powell after a Fortson miss

[PoconoHog]

HOgs  40  --  36

[jacksonpollock]

Bring in Cox aka the secret weapon...

[elksnort]

We need to seperate by 10 or more points.
