GAME THREAD: Arkansas Razorbacks vs North Carolina

[root_hawg]

Too many turnovers, lack of fundamental rebounding at critical points, if Qualls and Portis leave, be tough to get back to the tourney.

Even less talented teams can play smart by valuing possessions, blocking out etc....., things this team was not good at and never really improved on.

All we needed was Portis to be the player we know he can be.
It's like Barkley said at half time - Arkansas has to have Portis step up to win.
He didn't and we didn't.

I know this, he did himself no favors in these past few games.

I was waiting for Bob to dominate and take it to the rack/knock down jumpers and it never happened.  Hopefully it'll make him wanna come back and overcome the timid bs that he rolled with at the end of our season.  Still proud of our Hogs when all is set and done, and i think Durham and Beard will be ballin next year.  CMA is the right man for the job.  GO HOGS  :razorback: !

You aren't watching the game, obviously.

16 points, on 4/13 shooting-- oh, and 7 of 9 from the line.  11 boards *5* steals, and a season high 4 assists.

You're correct in what you're saying or Portis still need to make buckets

I hate it for him.
He's played so well all year. This team is built around Portis - he didn't shoot well, or pass well plus I don't know how many times he turned the ball over.
We just can't hardly overcome all that when playing a good team.

Please stop posting.

We had 21 turnovers. Stop being blinded by your agenda and acknowledge the difference in the game

Actually he's right - maybe you should stop posting?

Tough loss.

Portis wasn't at his best.  He isn't at all the reason we lost.  He at least showed up.  Qualls carried the team on his back as best he could.  We lost for 2 basic reasons....we turned it over 21 times and we didn't get much offense from Portis an Qualls' supporting cast.  We shot 37% and they shot 45%.  The game was probably closer than it should have been given our turnovers and poor shooting.
