GAME THREAD: Arkansas Razorbacks @ Kentucky

[Biggus Piggus]

Barford is manning up tonight.

[SugarHillGaHog]

Barford is a baller.

Shot caller!

/yeah I liked that song

[PonderinHog]

Feed your scorers, Anton, and you can stay in the game.

[HoopS]

Beard needs to grab some bench.

clutch comment. I've noticed when somebody calls for him to be benched we go on runs.

[hawgdavis]

Like this Barford kid we might have something here

[Danny J]

We looked focused...crowd is silent...hopefully we can keep up the focus

[trippigs]

Hogs playing well.....attacking the paint and smothering monk. Great energy

[The Boar War]

the he'll they cant.... you witnessed the Kentucky Blue Double Shafter.
Also available in adult see stores.

True. 

[elkhog]

Looks like they are denying Monk hard

I hope they deny him right out of the state.

[riccoar]

I think the Hogs have an axe to grind

[AirWarren]

Hang in there hogs.

[Danny J]

Also taking good high % shots

[chubrick]

Hogs not rattled yet.  Gotta keep attacking inside not settle for jump shots

[Ulysses_S_Grunt]

Couldn't have asked for a better start. Refs have been better the past few minutes

[pimphog]

May be the coming out party we've been waiting from barford

[Letsroll1200]

Let's Go!!

[Wisco Pig]

Still very early, but UK doesn't seem fully engaged and appears very beatable.   Hogs are getting to the basket at will -- just need to avoid that long dry spell.

[Breems]

Barford and Macon (and Watkins?) need to keep driving to the lane. UK's guards are mysteriously having issues preventing it, and their bigs aren't challenging very aggressively.

[WorfHog]

This Kentucky team is so overrated. Gonna get exposed on the road in the SEC. Wish they played here this season. UF is gonna win the SEC.

[PORKULATOR]

If Dusty and Beard join the party and Moses does ANYTHING to win the paint a 1/3 of the time, we'll win this.
We gotta hope they don't shoot 70% from here out as well.

[Biggus Piggus]

Kentucky was a 17.5-point favorite. Not hard for us to beat those expectations.

But this start is making me want more. If they don't call 30 fouls on us, we have a real chance.

[WorfHog]

Keep feeding it to Barford. He's the real deal.

[The Boar War]

Kentucky is lacking in their post defense this year.  Didn't Cal hire a Cauley-Stein type that can hold down one arm and block the ball?

[HawgnCorona]

"These guys aint goin away you got to play 40 mins"

[PORKULATOR]

A moving screen call against Kentucky?
That's a year over due. Lol

[PonderinHog]

Calipari, they ain't going away.  Gonna have to play forty minutes.  I hope it's hell for them.  :razorback: :razorback:

[Biggus Piggus]

Woah. A foul call?

[Breems]

just need to avoid that long dry spell.

It'll come, as will a few 3-point barrages from UK. Pushing through those will be the game.

[Razorbacks#1]

24-20 Hogs
Barford/1 from the line

[Razorbacks#1]

24-22 Hogs

[Razorbacks#1]

24-23 Hogs

[BigSexyHog]

Nice walk

[chubrick]

That looked like a euro step plus one

[Ironhawg]

Can't let Fox drive the lane like that.  He'll start slicing us up.

Yes, Watkins over Beard anyday

[PonderinHog]

Gotta do better than that.

[latrops]

Really good start.  First hurdle is just to keep it competitive early.  Kentucky does occasionally run opponents out of the gym in the first five or ten minutes....especially at home.  Hogs should have confidence now that they can compete.

[PORKULATOR]

Fox just fell down and got the call. We should have gotten 3 and ones if we got that respect.

[PonderinHog]

bull call.

[Biggus Piggus]

Hannahs passed up another shot, and it left us with a shot clock violation. Damn.

[Arky]

lol

[The Boar War]

That's up to the refs.  Technically no one should be able to take four steps without bouncing the ball.

[OperationRestoreHawgBall]

Mikes substitutions- how awful can they get?

[devildoghawg]

All they need to do is drive inside, stop throwing the ball around the perimeter.

[Razorbacks#1]

25-24 UK

[Breems]

Hannahs passed up another shot, and it left us with a shot clock violation. Damn.

He scare. Needs to start chucking if he's gonna play.

[HouSwine]

Why take Barford out now?

[PonderinHog]

A touch foul on Monk

[Biggus Piggus]

Wellp the fouls are piling up. Total bull fouls.

[chubrick]

Briscoe sucks
