[hobhog]

No movement. People still waiting to see how we finish.....

[Nosboar Accubond]

Combination of SEC reputation being down and folks waiting to see how we finish. Lots of close games and they're not sure. Gonna take a couple good seasons to fully shed some of the luggage. WPS

And OU and the same as Utah...all ranked higher than us. I saw where Lunardi has OU as a 4 seed. What?

Just win 2 this week and we will move up.  Louisville has a tough week though at home.

[All Bleed Red]

Very fair.  Won the game we should have won and lost to the best team in nation, remain where you were...  Two wins this week and we probably hit around #14-#15 going into the SEC Tourny.  Love it.

Yeah, two wins this week and we are sitting pretty. Hope we shake off the KY loss and get ready for SC. Going to be a tough turnaround to come back and take on LSU. This is a critical week of games for the Hogs in terms of momentum going into the post season. Could be knocking on the door of the top 10 next Monday.

Well they can win their home games.  And against ranked teams.  Shocking!

[Danny J]

Well they can win their home games.  And against ranked teams.  Shocking!

And LSU can win at #20 WVU from the Big 12...shocking!!!!

PS...we are one of only 13 teams with 3 or more top 50 RPI road wins and 6-3 or better against Top 50 RPI teams.

Again...top 20, 5 seed, 6 wins on the road in the SEC, 1 at top 20 SMU and 24-7 overall. Remind us again before the season what you predicted?

nothibg you said excuses today.  Good try though

[Danny J]

nothibg you said excuses today.  Good try though

Why do you need an excuse? You do understand there is a reason games are played? LSU was better than us today. Just like Ole Miss was when they spanked us. I guess that is why CMA fixed that problem and we then beat them on their home court. If we played them again we would win. I have no doubts. This team is confident and mentally tough. Does that mean we are perfect? No. Final four good? No. We are a good team. Legit top 20 good. We are not so good we can't lose to another top 100 RPI team. We haven't lost to a sub 100 team all season.

We lost to an inferior team today.  Rationalize it however you want.  It's inexcusable to me

Contact Guinness....we lost to a team that is not as good as we are. I am glad however you finally admitted we are a pretty good team that lost to a team that is not as good as we are. It happens. Did you just start watching sports this year?

[beachhog]

I didn't realize we had so many players score today - Our "D" is a factor and LSU matched our late run.  I wish that Kingsley would have played more today - we need him to be a true center.

This guy is an idiot.

20. Arkansas (26-8) – The Razorbacks are talented but they haven't beaten a ranked team all season. NCAA Overall Seed: 18.
