Arkansas -11.5 over South Carolina
- Thread starter FCB 2013 treble
- Start date
Arkansas has nine point lead at the half. Good news is Dr. Gray has 12 points. Need to eliminate Hogs from having second and third chances to score.
Don’t know if we’re going to pull this out but at least on legends weekend they showed some heart in front of the alumni.
Once again.... no discipline in the last minute and a half.
No mental execution on that next to last play.
We still are what we are. Crap.

You really are going to do this today? They were much more organized on offense today which led to all the dunks Gray got to get us in the ballgame. I still don’t like how they have GG floating around at the 3 point line all the time, but they played like they wanted to compete first. You have to do that before you win. You have personnel that are not used to making down the stretch decisions. These are not PlayStation operated figures that do exactly what you draw up. These are players from lower levels, players that came to us because they were on the bench other places, and one talented freshman trying to learn how to play. Why bang on them today.
A college level player standing at the foul line with no one within four feet of him and he has his dribble is so fixated on making a pass that he doesnt even look to the basket.
One can still look better than previous and still be crap.
So, you can’t really attack the coaching today. So, now you are going to attack players that have not proven they can win. We already know that. Perfectly normal for a kid that has not seen success on this level to not want the ball or the shot in crunch time.
So by that reasoning, poor coaches would draw up a play that involves that kid.
So yes, poor coaching.
You can defend this team we have today and make excuses or even have legitimate reasons why the program is where it is. It's probably mostly true. None of that changes the fact that the team SUCKS
Carter Jr. had zero points today. I am not blaming him and only played 18 minutes today so that would suggest he is not 100 percent and is still having problems with his tendonitis. If he could of played more minutes that could of made a difference in the game going South Carolina's way. Glad to see the kids not give up when they were 11 points down and not let the game get away from them. Also South Carolina did better with the rebounding and turnovers. I am still steamed about the final outcome.
It’s not when you don’t have one efficient go-to scorer on the roster. GG is going to be good, but he is young and his lack of strength shows when he attacks the basket. Throws up a lot of flip shots that have no chance. Meechie can get hot from 3, but it’s only every now and then. I am sure you know other teams know this. So, somebody besides GG or Meechie are going to be wide open and end up with the ball.
I thought the guys played hard today. I have been critical of the Paris hire and that’s no secret on here. I don’t really love what we’re doing on offense. It seems like a lot of read and react. Probably not the best method when you only have two guys that can score the basketball. Figured with the Wisconsin background we would at least be better on defense. But we lack talent and we’re not going to win a lot…and in year one it doesn’t matter. We’re not going to the NCAAs or the NIT. This is about pride and entertainment.
Worst part is GG has taken to social media criticizing that he is not getting plays drawn up for him. While I don’t love the Paris hire, this was a poor move on GGs part. I like GG but he’s got to be better than this. I get the frustration and I get that kids often turn to social media but it’s a bad look.
