GAME THREAD: Arkansas Razorbacks (21-10, 10-8) vs USCe Gamecocks (17-15, 7-11)

[Bogghawg]

Beat 'em at their own game.

[HardCore]

Had we lost that......CMA should have pulled those guys back out to the court and gone Herb Brooks on their A$$!

[BassinHawg]

Macon better show up tomorrow night!

[Ugly Uncle]

Frank Martin teams are tough and they never quit.  Some might be overreacting tonight.

[rljjr]

OK, what's the real time RPI and updated bracketology? Time to go look.

Good win.

[ronmahony]

Never would have thought we would win on the free throw line.

[Boss Hog in the Arkansas]

I'm expecting ugly.

Ditto

[Letsroll1200]

Florida will go off on this team with a 20+ point beat down!

Go away

[JoeyJackMcKaskell]

The spread was 5. We won by 5. Congratulations to those of you that watched your first basketball game in March. You should be able to control your emotions better tomorrow.

[rljjr]

Haaaaa!!! There it was, the letting teams back in the games comment from the Kentucky fella. Whoever called it -- kudos!

[FineAsSwine]

This is unnecessarily excruciating.

Ha! I feel ya man.

[SugarHillGaHog]

Frank Martin teams are tough and they never quit.  Some might be overreacting tonight.

Overreacting on this board?  I can't imagine that..

/actually calmer than what we've had.  +1

This SC team beat UK, UF, and AU. And hogville doesn't expect them to make a run and fight? Typical....

[Hogsfan1981]

Close game....they all will be from now on.

Settle in ladies.

Survive and advance.

He s said it at least 3 times today. Has also said for 2 weeks he thinks we will make the deepest run. Haaaaaaaa!

They are always overreacting. I believe that makes Mike, you know the guy these dudes say can't coach, 7-1 in the last 8 games against ole Frank.

People earlier said Nolan would have won this game by 30...they may be right but if SC had shut the up and down off in the 2nd half, Nolan very well could have lost.

Mike's team though? They grind, they're gritty and tough and find ways to win games like this. They just do. It isn't always pretty but you can't deny it....

This team wins ugly games.

Florida is arguably a better team than us but we are not the match up they wanted in game one.  We can cause them some problems.  If we are dialed in tomorrow, should be a good game.

[rljjr]

Good stuff on the after show with Macon getting asked by Dari to take a selfie of the broadcast crew.

[Knot2brite]

Good win

I missed it earlier today. I saw the early games with the Shootah and the Fishback. I like those two very much. They have a nice chemistry.

His best shot of the night.   

[HogsonHicks]

Nolan said it best..."survive and advance". We did that tonight.

[Dr. Starcs]

His best shot of the night.   

Don't Macon a$$ of yourself.

[bvillepig]

Good win. First game jitters out of the way

[rljjr]

His best shot of the night.   

Ouch! As long as he's red hot tomorrow it's all good. He got the misses out of his system.

[elksnort]

Seriously?

You wanted to know where the Mike defenders we're....I am here. I am real. I am strong, I am PORKRIND JIMMY...

GO HOGS

PRJ

Love it!

[PonderinHog]

Don't Macon a$$ of yourself.

We need better than that from Macon.  You know it, I know it, and Macon knows it.

PS  GFY, unless you're kidding.

[hoglady]

Barford was the hero tonight.
That crazy 3 and then the steal won it.

[panhandlepig]

Nolan said it best..."survive and advance". We did that tonight.

  Hope we can do it tomorrow.  I'd really love to see these kids beat Florida.

[elksnort]

Major players or going to have to get it done in big times

[Dr. Starcs]

We need better than that from Macon.  You know it, I know it, and Macon knows it.

Of all people, I thought you would get my play on words.

[PonderinHog]

I don't know, man.  I just don't get it.   

[Dr. Starcs]

I don't know, man.  I just don't get it.   

Don't Macon a$$ of yourself.
As in "make an a$$" of yourself.

You see, his name is Macon and.....never mind. Lol

Oh, I thought it was directed at me.

Game Thread gonna Game Thread

[PonderinHog]

He did make his free throws, though.  And that's a good thing.

[flagstaffhog]

Go HOGS Go!

[hoglady]

If you listened to Macon at the booth after the game - he said "we didn't play well tonight, you know it and I know it". "We've got to do better tomorrow".

[PonderinHog]

He's right, you know.

[panhandlepig]

If you listened to Macon at the booth after the game - he said "we didn't play well tonight, you know it and I know it". "We've got to do better tomorrow".

I did listen to that. I'm so hoping they do better tomorrow.

[hoglady]

  I did listen to that. I'm so hoping they do better tomorrow.

I think they will.
Hopefully, Gafford stays out of foul trouble and Macon is back to being Macon.
