Arkansas -vs- Virginia Commonwealth U. Game Thread

[jrparrish]

alot of the ranked teams by us lost this weekend...stanford....i forgot the others...bucknell is beating #23 nova...so hopefully we won't fall out like kentucky

Kentucky's showing the previous game against lil ole UCA made quite a few voters suspicious but when they were blowed out by Gardner Webb, at home, on National TV it only confirmed their doubts.

how good do you think OU is going to be??

[Dugann]

work in progress..but we'll be okay I think that loss was good for us IMO.

[The_Bionic_Pig]

how good do you think OU is going to be??

Can't tell at the moment because I don't know if Memphis is that good or Oklahoma had a off night.

or maybe if OU is that good or memphis had an off night?

[Ulysses_S_Grunt]

VCU with a chance to get within 5

[Dugann]

VCU makes great 1/2 time adjustments 26% 1st half and 50% + 2nd

[jrparrish]

BOOOO YAH BIOTCH!!! SAY HELLO TO D-TOWNS

[Ulysses_S_Grunt]

anthony grant picks up a Tech

[Dugann]

a LOT  of carry calls think it suxs if they push it like this all year.

[Ulysses_S_Grunt]

i love townes this year

[Dugann]

wooot towns

[jrparrish]

TIMES TWO BABY!!!!!! DTOWNS!!!

[Fort Swine]

I like the hustle.  They are playing hard.  There is more desire to get down the floor.  Townes just punched it and made the rim rattle.

[razorbackfan4life]

I like townes in Pel's offense..

[Dugann]

yea he finally growin up and doing what he needs..he been most consistant i think

[BigDave70]

the hogs are gettin hot

[jrparrish]

good run hogs

[Ulysses_S_Grunt]

razorbacks up 46-35 with 15:23 left

[Dugann]

that what i'm talking about ..attack the basket more like that guys.

[Fort Swine]

With this style of play, the 2nd half will be money time.  Turning a game into a rat race will be the key to this team.

[The_Bionic_Pig]

VCU will remind you guys of Arkansas in 2001-01'  "LIVE BY THE 3 DIE BY THE 3"   because they lack size inside.

[texhog]

Really starting to use our size advantage. 

[Dugann]

they said that after that loss friday, instead of getting to go out and have fun and see area yesterday that pel had them pratice x2 and work on and off all day bball stuff...folks that is the diff in pel and heath.  we'll be okay just have get through the growin pains by end of year they will be a rock of a team imo.

[jrparrish]

i wish thomas was more involved...he seems like he doesn't feel comfortable at his position

[Fort Swine]

I think Barnes will have a positive effect on Pel.  He brings the knowledge about the SEC and Pel brings the drive to be a champion.  The years of almost getting over the hump are over.

[razorbackfan4life]

nice block and hustle by beverly

[jrparrish]

now if the cowboys would pick up the pace and get ahead of the redskins

[texhog]

This is where we need to have some Killer instinct.  We shouldn't be letting them hang around

[Dugann]

sooo wish we'd played Miami in the final:( lub beating ACC teams hehe

[The_Bionic_Pig]

Our Asst. Coach Rob Evans has one of the best defensive minds in college basketball.  I can recall those Ole Miss teams making elite teams look horrific due to their Man to Man intensity.  I pray that he isn't taken from us for atleast 2-3 more years.  Kentucky may come after Pel in the next 3yrs but by then our other Asst. coach should be able to step in....

[jrparrish]

wow..they just missed a foul under the basket

[texhog]

Do we really need Weems to be jacking 3s?

[razorbackfan4life]

Weems is not a very good 3pt shooter

Needs to take it inside.

[Dugann]

who thinks we beat KY this year?? I do.

[razorbackfan4life]

COME ON GUYS!

[The_Bionic_Pig]

Weems is not a very good 3pt shooter

Needs to take it inside.

These officials have such a quick whistle that it has made both teams shy about driving the lane.

[MDH]

Maynor may be pass first shoot second, but he is the one that made the shot that sealed the Duke game.  Good PG.

[texhog]

Here we go.  Why can't we put teams like this away? 

[razorbackfan4life]

Weems is not a very good 3pt shooter

I know, but I just want him to take a dribble and pull up rather than just jackin up the three..

[jrparrish]

who thinks we beat KY this year?? I do.

if we don't commit more than 20 turnovers we do

[The_Bionic_Pig]

I know, but I just want him to take a dribble and pull up rather than just jackin up the three..

I agree RF4life plus VCU is ripe for Alley Oops to Townsend, Weems, Washington, Hill because they are chasing our guards around the perimeter.....

[MDH]

who thinks we beat KY this year?? I do.

if we don't commit more than 20 turnovers we do

To early to tell really.  A win in Rupp would be sweet though.

[josh_sec33]

Score?

[Ulysses_S_Grunt]

Score?

50-40 hogs

[MDH]

50 - 40 Ark

[razorkev]

[razorbackfan4life]

Pelphrey just yelled "DONT FOUL HIM!!! STOP IT!!"

[Ulysses_S_Grunt]
