Arkansas Game
- Thread starter gobigblue26
- Start date
Sure it has been soft, but rated tougher than Kentucky's strength of schedule by every metric, with 5 true road games played.
Last nights game puts every remaining road game in play. South Carolina made the game as ugly as it could be. Other teams will follow suit. Road games at Florida, Arkansas, Auburn,Tennessee,LSU, along with OOC road game at Texas Tech that’s 6 more losses coming with no wins under our belt against much of anybody. That spells 7-8 seed at best. And this was arguably the 2nd best recruiting class last year?
You'll never win another title and are damn lucky to win the one you have which is a long time ago. Arkansas fans are living in the past, Nolan Racist Richardson isn't walking through that door.
Must win? Not yet but it sure would put UK in a deeper hole come tourny time.
Well, we went to back to back titles in the 90’s.
Our instate talent is better than yalls and we have more coming.
It’s not our fault the university did a ****** job after Nolan.
You’re lying to yourself if you don’t think the Arkansas basketball program is a sleeping giant.
You can look at Arkansas NCAA history and see we are no one hit wonder we’ve just been down for awhile.
Yea! Who would want to increase their chances to win the SEC with a win
I realize it's been a while since you guys were ACTUALLY relevant in the SEC, but by WINNING a road game, we will have a better chance at staying on top of the SEC standings. We want to win, but you Hogs NEED to win.
However, I can't recall the last time Arkansas came into Rupp and we broke out new uniforms and gave EVERYONE a free t-shirt. It's SOOOOO BIG for you Hogs that Musselman himself is MODELING the new uniform and doing the Promo for the t-shirt give away.
We ARE your Superbowl!!![jumpingsmile]
I think Evansville is a highschool. I didn’t even know it was possible for a college team to play a highschool team. Also embarrassing to lose to one. Didn’t realize UK program had fallen that far. Yikes.
Muss just likes to have some fun. We’ve broken out new unis before and it had nothing to do with UK.
We’ve sold out Bud Walton a few times and the arena here in LR this year so a sell out is nothing special.
You will NEVER here those words come out of a UK fans mouth.:stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
Let's Call The Hogs!!!
Arkansas may as well be a high school team. Haven't really gotten many more NCAA tournament wins than one the past 25 years. You should talk smack with Indiana to see who has had the biggest fall from grace.
I believe we will lose this game, and I'm only partly saying that as a reverse jinx. I don't trust that we are there yet, mentally, and I certainly don't trust the officiating. Are we 10pts better than Arkansas? Because that's how we will have to play if we want to get the win.
Unfortunately, I think we drop another one (or two) before Cal makes some big changes. I think we have a bit more to fall before we rise back up.

I think we lose this game for one BIG reason. We are too soft inside. He will continue to start the scarecrow at the 4 and he will continue to do nothing but shoot 17 footers short, get knocked around on the boards and be his usual lazy self. Our guards will think of nothing but padding their stats, our center might have a good game if he hustles, bench play will be non existent, Arkansas wins in a not even close one 85-68.
Well keep in mind our tallest starter is only 6'6. LSU outrebounded us something like 45-17 but we only lost by 2 because we turned them over a lot. Ironically our 5 guard lineup was our best rebounding unit. Next year we have a 7'3 center becoming eligible but this year we're having to mask it as much as we can. There are times when playing a small lineup has worked in our advantage though since the opposing team's big guys can't keep up with some of our quicker guards.
I’m swinging back by to say how much I’m looking forward to the game. I enjoy bantering with Cat fans. Also that the Hogs are back because of coach Muss. I expect to win as these players know their roles and play as a team. Cats may be more talented however your youngens ease up with the lead and Hogs have come back from double digit 2nd half deficits and expect to win. Go Hogs.
Edit: Don’t get the big head all our Saturday home games are sold out this season.
