I have always cared about the basketball Hogs and will support them no matter how bad it gets this year! They got the win against Southern to start the year tonight. Kingsley goes for 22 and Hannahs goes for 21. I was thinking it was going to be a disaster of a season but I am starting to lean towards we actually put up some fight at least. I still think we only get 5 or 6 conference wins but I don't see us being an embarrassment as I had anticipated.

It is airing on the SEC Network which I don't get  :-\ ..... I have to settle for the Pac 12 Network where I bandwagon the Ducks of Oregon on the side.

~WPS~

Tonight's game isn't on tv. It's on SEC Network+ aka watchespn.

Akron is good for a MAC team, but Arkansas isn't good. I expected a long season, but I hoped maybe I'd see something tonight that would give me hope. It'll be a long two months between football ending and baseball starting

That is exactly what I was thinking. Losing to a MAC team appears bad and should never happen but Akron will be right there with a team or two in deciding who gets their conferences bid. We should be able to take Charleston Southern next game. Then we got some tougher ones against ACC teams.

Lost to a MAC team? Are we sure the football team didn't take the court tonight?

I kid, I kid...

Baseball opens up against a MAC team, seasons over there, too........

Rebounded (no pun intended) with a nice win over Charleston Southern last night.

Arkansas basketball is going to be a challenge this season.

I think the bball team will be ok. The NBA has destroyed the sport for worse. The NBA is not basketball. I hate it. Basketball is a team sport. College was always the epitome of that.  Kids that wanted to prove their worth to get paid. Now you have the crap we have now. NBA is so individualized it is pathetic. If basketball doesn't change to baseball rules, college will become more pathetic than it is now. Why is anyone surprised that lower tier teams loaded with seniors win more than they used to win?  They actually understand the game. I am ready for one of them to win it all. It's coming.

No. He will be back December 19. I actually think Arkansas will be ok because there isn't a star. They will play basketball. Hannahs can flat shoot. I honestly think the Hogs will benefit from Monk not being there. They have 3 of top 5 jucos, along with the returning players. They will play hog ball. They will win. And win a lot. I played. I got more pride out of stealing the ball and getting an assist then jacking shots up around three defenders. I couldn't stand BJ young. He shot with 4 players on him. PASS. Everybody is open. None of the 1 and done teams will win the title this year. It'll be a team loaded with team players.

beach bum

We take on Georgia Tech for anyone wanting to catch the basketball Hogs or flip back and forth between them and the NFL on Turkey Day tomorrow. Georgia Tech has thumped Green Bay UW-Green Bay & Cornell, have a 2 point win over Tennessee, and an bad one point loss to East Tennessee State. Give a good game boys! That's all I am hoping for.

It's going to be a long season as we suspected. We've got some more scoring guards coming in next year, but unless Arlando Cook can score in the paint, we'll still struggle against any good teams.

You have to have big men who can score.

BrianfromCarlisle

I think they did a poor job of utilizing Kingsley. Whitt needs to stop looking for a shot. Just shoot when it's there. Bell is a spot up only shooter. I think if they make Hannah's option 1 and Kingsley 1a, they can make a little noise. It either needs to go to Kingsley, or Hannah's on first pass. They were so obviously overplaying Hannah's. Whitt will benefit once he creates off of of a pass from one of those two

Up 60-45 on Stanford right now.


Our bench is not deep at all.

VHSCoach2

Stanford finished the game on a 21-1 run to win 69-66.

Absolutely pitiful.

WPWells

We would have held on if the officials had called the offensive foul on Stanford or Hannahs getting hit on the arm

Up 60-45 and we score 6 the rest of the way. Thats crazy. We shouldnt need refs to bail us out when we are up 15.

bdubyab60

Still should have been able to hold a 15 point lead I would think.

WPWells

We don't have any other scorers besides Hannahs

It's not a bail out.  The guy pushed off with his left arm.  It was obvious.  This team is not good enough to overcome poor officiating.

It shouldn't have mattered, we again don't have the mental toughness to finish games out. I'm getting real tired of this.

I doubt that you expected much out of this year.  We'll have ups and downs.  Probably more downs.  MA can't work miracles...  If he could, we'd still have Portis, squalls an Beard.  Ok... Miracle worker an bondsman...

It just shouldn't have had to come down to a couple of calls is all I'm saying. We have to be able to close games like that out and not have to worry about things like officiating.

Arkansas Basketball...down swing again...it seems that's all we have is down swings...no up swings...

Up swing last year. But for sure down this year.

Teams like Kentucky, Duke, Kansas don't have to worry about officiating.  We're not there, may never be.  I'm just going to enjoy watching MA teams play hard.

Correct, I didn't/don't expect much this season, but losing on a 21-1 spurt to close out the game is unacceptable. Also, Stanford is not very good, fact. So, yes, I was expecting to win this game.

Stanford won the NIT last year
And Arkansas played in the ncaa tournament....that was last year.

When it comes to college sports, recruiting is the lifeblood of a program. If you can't recruit, you will not win. Simple as that. On rare occasions, you have coaches with actual talent that underachieve (i.e. Memphis). What we'll see with Arkansas this season is the result when you lose your best players to the NBA and are left with players that no other big time schools heavily wanted.

LOL Venny! I grew up in my early years with Sutton and Nolan watching the Hogs and immolating the moves with the fellas on the playgrounds and driveways. To have been so far up for so many years and the after Nolan years, well it just seems like we will never have the type of success that we had for so long. I just don't see it happening for a long time. I don't see Anderson bringing in the type of players that can lead us to a consistent top 20 program. We may win more than we lose but not by much. Plus we play in suk bball conference. I hate watching SEC games other than KY.

Yep, me too...I am so sick of this crap...it seems like we are always in some sort of drama. Let's face it, it starts at the top...or it does at other schools...Arkansas is snake bit...Sheeeeezzzz...
