Sad to even worry about making it in. We were looking at a 3 seed just a month ago

I just don't see 9-9.

I only see 5 more SEC wins, which would be 7-11.  That won't be good enough to get in the NCAAT.

There is absolutely no way we go 7 - 12 in SEC play.  It will never happen and you can take that to the bank.  Bet your houses and mine.

I posted the following the other day.

at LSU   Loss
South Carolina   Win
Vanderbilt   Win
at Ole Miss   Loss
Texas A&M   Win
Kentucky   Loss
at Alabama   Win
Auburn   Loss
at Missouri   Loss

We better start playing better defense, we better start shooting free throws better, we better start getting better bench production, and we better stop standing around and watching 2 players jack up shots (those 2 being Barford and Macon).

And you are still wrong, that's not 7 - 12.  Though I agree with your analysis of why we will struggle.

9-9 isn't good enough in year seven with four senior starters.

The depth of this conference is good. Arkansas will be 4-4 after tge Georgia game. 10-8 is alright with me. Just get in and anything can happen.

This just might be a year for change with a new AD. We got rid of an underperforming football coach. No reason not to do the same for basketball. They both make too much money to put up with poor results year in and out. Even less for basketball imo. Unlike football there's no reason Arkansas can't be nationally relevant in basketball. Anderson doesn't seem capable of meeting that bar though. If we fail to reach the tourney this year its definitely time.

razorpimp

Unfortunately, Mike has a pass no matter the finish this year!  He has made the tournament 2 out of the past 3 years....there is no way the higher ups would fire an African American coach with those results....it just isn't going to happen folks....the backlash from the media would be terrible!  3 African American coaches fired in the last 20 years.  I know it's stupid but that is our PC world!

Now the turd of a season next year will close the book on CMA, a young, not very talented team

and remember...only two of those are 4 yr. Seniors.  And only one of those are making significant contributions.

And remember recruiting is all on the head coach and how many folks told us how good these players were. All of them play and should be contributing. Especially the 4 year guys that MA supposedly can develop that he recruited for his SYSTEM

We should be playing better than this

Which games is he wrong about? It actually could be worse than that, his prediction is assuming we win all of the rest of the home games.

The seniors are the problem. The only players I enjoy watching on this team are underclassmen

HawgTrough

we're 2-4 with 2 50/50 wins and 4 convincing losses. Sure this team could improve, but they are not a tournament team at this point. I honestly don't see them getting to .500 in league play. Barford had a career night, Gafford played well, CJ came out of his coma and we still weren't even competitive.

I think 9-9 will do it but we definitely can't drop anymore home games and we need to steal one on the road somewhere.

CJ went 2-6 from the field.

No we weren't.. a figment of imaginations... we are not that talented.. a lot of good players in the SEC now... 9 and 9 is a good target..

The SEC is a bit of a mirage. While the rpi/bpi is really good, you do not look at the sec and think " man they have 3 or 4 teams that could make the final 4.

Remains to be seen.. they are deeper and better than last year... maybe not team by team, but enough good teams, that 2 or 3 could go further than expected, similar to last year..

That can happen, but last year KY and FLA looked like Final 4 teams. This year, no SEC team looks like that. Sure, one or two could get hot and make it.

But you make a good point, the SEC is deeper and many teams are improved, but the Hogs are not any better, and may in fact be worse, than last season.

Arkansas basketball has been degraded to the point that simply making the tournament field is considered an accomplishment.  Actually, at this point it is a goal to be achieved if we can improve. 

Outstanding.  Go, Mike!

If you consider the SECT conference play, 7-12 is very likely.

Doubtful even the "Hateful Eight" will end this nostalgic journey.

I will donate for the buy out and help him move. We have one or maybe two years left with Gafford, I sure would hate to waste them with MA as coach.

If you really think this team will win 8 of the next 12 conference games you haven't been paying attention.

I say we get to 15 and 15 and keep MA's streak of not having a losing season alive. Yea!  🐎💩🤮

Jeff Long and his integrity is gone now. HY never hired Mike. So the game has changed but likely HY forces Mike to fire assistants first.

What is wrong with firing 3 African American coaches? We have only had 4 and he was fired also.

How do you see us getting to 9-9, there is zero evidence we can win an SEC road game and we have 6 of those left. even if we miraculously hold serve at home (include Kentucky, Auburn , and USC-E) , that buts us at 8-10

tomw

I dont see 9-9 in conference..at 12th place in sec currently the selection committee will pass arkansas by..mike gets out coached too much..another year of ho hum basketball we need a new coach that actually coaches and stresses fundamentals...free throws, rebounding, defense, and team play

When it comes to college coaching, almost every single head coach is fired at some point.  We've fired 4 white ones in the same time period, 5 if you count Johnelle

If a man speaks and no woman is around to hear him, is he still wrong?

Without Gafford, who similar to Portis, was an Arkansan and fairly pre-sold on signing with the Razorbacks since probably the age of 10, think what our front line would look like?

Arguably it would be one of the least talented front lines in all of college basketball, and I'm talking all 300+ teams!
