Where did you hear that? That stinks.

Jose was 10 feet in front of me the entire game and looked like he could have played tonight.

Totally unfounded IMO, just more hot air from another of the posters we only see after a loss. Jose was 10 feet in front of me the entire game and looked like he could have played tonight.

He literally stood on the baseline and was up the entire game. My guess is that he sits one more game and we see him against Nebraska closer to 100%.

Came directly from Pastner

Don’t put that on Big Ben. That was 100% Curtis. What a bum.

Not sure Curtis can be called a bum.

Not sure any NCAA student athlete can be called a bum.

Horrendous...lose a heartbreaker like that have to come here and see these blowhards pounding their chest. GTFOH!!

Eh, I just skip over them like white noise.

They lack my panache and creativity in complaining.

He was not wearing a boot. Hope he gets well soon! Please don't rush it tho. I remember that year when lammers never healed.

You're not a true fan.

What did Pastner do to get called for the tech?

I know you are but what am .... no, wait, wait that doesn't work here. Lemme try again.

Choose not to accept the ref missed a call horribly?

Then they compound missing the call by t'ing us up.

I really enjoyed this basketball game. Anyone that says Arkansas sucks doesn't know the game. Their ball pressure and defense were terrific.

Our defense bothered them in the first half, and completely shut them down at the end of the game. They scored 5 points on the ridiculous technical foul sequence, and the banked three at the buzzer in OT. Other than that, they didn't score for 5 minutes to end regulation or in over time (so 10 straight minutes). That's crazy good defense by our crew.

I remain positive about the team I'm seeing. Devoe has the skills and mindset to be an absolute stud. I think Jose return will take a lot of pressure off Devoe.

On to the next, let's get a few W's under our belt and then go beat Kentucky.

One of the few logical post with any substance in this entire thread. Arkansas is a well coached team, an they played with great effort all night.

Their defensive gameplan really was effective on Devoe and James. They were fronting the post and over playing on help side D which made feeding the post very tough, but that was clearly our focus. Pound the ball into the paint, but unfortunately many of the post feeds were dreadful.

I was really impressed with the Arkansas back court. Good size and they can all shoot and/or penetrate. As Mike points out, anyone that says Arkansas sucks doesn’t know what in the hell they're talking about.

I don't blame him as it was one of several horrible missed calls on Banks. But on TV I couldn't see/hear what he actually did or if Teddy V simply put his rabbit ears on

It's not like he would ever cuss a ref. That technical was utter bs.

Sure they can. Curtis was a bum. And I was calling 15 on the Piggies a bum all night tonight, right up until he buried that lucky 3 point bank shot at the buzzer that killed us.

That just made him a lucky bum

I believe ArKansas leads the nation in 3 point percentage defense and it showed. We shot 18% from 3 and Devoe was 11/15 from 3 through 3 games coming into this game.

So I guess I can call you a bum and you can call me a bum.

To be fair, put me on the court and I'm a bum.

I honestly didn't see anything. The "refs" called it from across the court.

Like hell you can. Them’s fightin’ words.
