Arkansas is tired.
Cal doesn't want to run an actual half court offense. So they need to get most of their points in transition or before the defense is set. You run even a talented team like that all season and it takes their legs come tournament time. This is Cal ball.in a nutshell. May take a few years, but arky fans will learn this the hard way. You get so enamored with the talent he brings in yearly, that most overlook his atrociously lazy coaching.

Cal is washed. He has been since Covid, although you could argue it started after 2015. But he’s still not a bad coach. And if I knew Pope was going to be our coach, I would’ve rather dealt with Cal for a few more years than the dumba*sery that we have now. I’d much rather Cal have retired here and helped the next coach instead of going to another SEC team to give us a hard time.

Arkansas is playing pretty well by their standards. But wow.

They can’t stop a team who has equal talent. That’s what always make me so furious. We had the talent to defend and since 2019 he hasn’t gotten teams to defend. They(Zona)are playing beautiful passing basketball, but they can’t even pressure two misses in a row.

Hey I haven’t got to watch a second. How is it going I can’t look at the game! Is Arkansas up? Man I worried about this one, Calipari is just so damn dominant, are they up 6 with 5 to go?
We all knew Zona was the class of this year. Michigan, Duke(KMN), Zona are who will fight for the title.
