They can’t use the “young team” excuse anymore if they’re serious about making the tourney. You don’t get to play those games at home. We also have the size advantage in this one, so they’re are no excuses if we lose.
Look at the guys we have coming in next year. We beat UCA for one guy and Jacksonville St. for the other. All 3 guys either play the 2 or 3. No inside help.
Geez Mr. Perfect…..let’s see….first year…..not any of his own guys…..Clark transfers……best player goes down for the year early in season….playing mostly FR and SO……haven’t lost a game at home……won more than any expert predicted in pre-season…….Stop being unrealistic and STOP WHINNING…..at least they have been fun to watch most of the year…better than anything Pelphrey threw out there the entire time he was there!!!
We look exactly what MA said we would look like a lot this year…..he said it will not be 40 minutes of hell right away….here will be times when it’s 40 minutes of “what the hell”…..give him a chance. If they don’t win another game this year they have exceeded expectations this year.
Pel did have a full roster. CMA is basically coaching Pel’s recruited players (those that stayed)… look at how good Mizzou is doing this year with CMA’s players. It’s going to be more than a one year process / miracle job.
I’m sure when this team is good in two or three years Mr. Perfect will be on here cheering them on and claiming he knew it all the time….with no mention of his negative, dumb, unrealistic comments of today. No doubt.
Seriously on Coach Cal winning with freshman & sophs? Considering he lands a starting five of lottery picks just about every year… that makes a lot of sense.

19 points might look like Mount Kilimanjaro with how absent we were in the first half, but we have the talent to overcome it if we can just get in some kind of rhythm.
Basketball…..ummm….when is spring football? Have to show me a lot lot more winning before I even pay attention to Ark basketball. just my opinion ya know
I think Qualls might be a diamond in the rough, so I’ll give CMA the benefit of the doubt that he is a great evaluator of talent, but like Mrp is suggesting, he really didn’t do too well on the recruiting trail in his first go round, other than beating out bama for Williams. Now that was a good pull there.
Having missed 18 minutes of the first half, I’ll assume the freshmen are still playing like freshmen on the road. They’re supposed to be playing like sophmores at this point in the season. Nolan would have them playing like sophmores by this time of the year.
Nolan’s players weren’t scared of playing on the road. Nolan’s player were only scared of Nolan.
Georgia is a high team playing in front of a high school crowd and they are making us look this bad?!?! Tonight I’m embarrassed…may not be tomorrow or the next day, but tonight I’m embarrassed.
holy frickin crap!!!! what a joke!!!!!! i thought we had a shot at the dance. no way in hell!!!!!!!! the worst team in the SEC just EMBERRASSED the hell out of us. i wont get on anderson, his recruiting, or the freshman either tonight. everything sucked, and that will cost them the tourney. oh well, i am saying this a little later than i normaly do with this program, but better luck next year.
I was really disappointed with our effort, OBVIOUSLY, but the thing that stood out to me was our lack of penetration on the offensive end. With a 4 guard lineup you have to be able to drive and get to the line.
Otherwise dump it into Hunter on every offensive possession and let him pass it back out for a rhthym jumper or get his turn around game going…people give Sanchez crap but he’s the only one that tries to pull of some inside moves (he just usually clanks the shot).
MrP is right.. BJ will be gone sooner rather than later, and we have struck out on our highest priority recruiting targets. I have also noticed that MA’s teams seem to plateau, but hopefully a new BBall practice facility on the horizon will lure the Archie Goodwin’s into BWA, cuz we need top 20 draft pick talent to make it back to the final 4.
Come on guys…. get a inch expect a mile….young team, rebuilding program with Clark gone and Powell hurt. How would have you predicted this year knowing those loses. It is a long way to climb from where we have fallen. Tonight was the worst loss of the year IMO, but a teaching tool. BTW my first post, I have been reading for a couple months, enjoyed many comments and love the info flow. Special thanks to you RD for making this possible.
The game was tough to watch, but folks let’s not forget, we had a crippling injury with powell, a coach in his first season here as head coach. Guys who are in a new offense and defense. At times, we have looked great, at times terrible. They need the off season together and we need some more bigs that can run and jump. I think Mitchell will have a big I’m pact in another couple of weeks. Let’s just keep the home streak going and hope we pull it together on the road. A’s bad A’s things looked tonight, there is more to look forward to now. Anderson has brought high expectations and like petrino, it will take some time.
Mr. Prfct you are off….. 95% of Mizzu’s scoring and rebounding is by Mikes players. Mike said himself that he was leaving a talented top 10 team. I have ZERO doubt that MA will get it done and it will be sooner than later. Chill out man!
Guys let us remember Nolan’s first year he went 12-16 and finished 7th in the SWC. MA needs to be able to go 10-12 deep to run the kind of game that he wants. That is hard to do with a team with 8 Scholarship players. As I recall we were getting close to firing Nolan. I do know this. I would not want to be on the Arkansas Basketball team at Practice tomorrow. Be patient. Not enough players, a lot of freshmen and a new coach. We will have bad games. It is what freshmen do.
We have no leadership on this team to help on the road. But this year is not over. There is a lot of basketball to be played, and our last whooping by Kentucky was followed by some good performances.
I’m like most of you–not a basketball ball expert, but what kind of offense are we trying to run. All I saw tonight was the same crap that I’ve seen for years. And that’s years of experienced & inexperienced players. Lots of standing around, one on one, and no offensive rebounding. And this isn’t the 1st time this team has looked like this….just the worst. If we can play with a resemblance of a TEAM at home, why can’t we be a little bit of that on the road! Just a little bit would be better than this crap tonight. Absolutely no effort at all. No excuses, but we will probably hear plenty. Even Scott Inman just made a reference to very little effort tonight & he never criticizes the Hogs. Oh well!
It’s amazing how high the expectations are for a CMA’s first season (by some)… Let us not also forget, that we might have the top 10 team right now, had we not turned away CMA in the first place, by hiring Stan Heath instead. That one worked out great…
PJ I understand what you are saying, Really do we need to drag up things than happened 10 years ago? MA seems to be gracious enough to not let it bother him so why should we bring up what could have been. It is a different time and it is now Ma’s time. it’s not that I disagree with you but it really matters little now.
This loss was horrible and you don’t have to like it and everyone deserves blame for this stinkbomb, but my God get some perspective people. No excuses for what happened, but let’s not lose sight of some of the good things. I swear the worst thing to give a Razorback is hope because he’ll sure turn it into expectation. After Powell went down, who really expected Arkansas to go to the tournament? People picked us to finish 9th in the SEC WITH Powell. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, the NIT would be a good accomplishment THIS year. And it’s not even Valentine’s Day yet, and while the chances of making the NCAA Tourney were severely hampered tonight, they were not totally eradicated. Let’s back off the ledge and see what happens.
You know arkiansas promotes how great our fans are. But from what I see and read this blog everyday all I see is fair weather fans. yOU GUYS ARE ON TOP WHENEVER WE WIN BUT AFTER A LOST THE NEGATIVES REALLY SHOE UP. This is a very young team withalot of players who will be good in the future and the ones on here that only see whats bad should remember before all anyone expected was maybe NIT now even after this lost we can still make the ncaa. Yes being young is not an excuse its a fact. These are all Pels players whom we have watched except for our fredhmen for years. Th eincoming recruits will help alot because they are better than outgoing srs on this team. We dont have a go to guy with bunch which Powell would have been . True fans are behind there team win lose or draw but for some reason if we lose those fans act like this is the worst team in history of hog basketball. Why dont you guys start being fans of some other team and let real hog fans use this blog. The world is not over and season isnt either. Having no inside scorers is killing us because on the road you need to be able to score inside and get rebounds. Georgia played there best game of the season CMA is doing a great job considering the fact he has only 9 players on schollie and in my opion we will win more than 20 games this season with the sec tourney which could put us in ncaa tiurney.
go hogs go there is light in the tunnel even if the guys on this blog cant see it
I get what you’re saying too maxk, really wasn’t trying to dig up old bones. I could have made my point in a better fashion, for that, I understand the concern for CMA’s benefit (I agree, he’s handled the whole situation with complete class). It was in defense of CMA and was hoping the forced Nolan comparisons would stop (sometimes sarcism & doing the same history dwelling, is not the best way to accomplish that). On the comparisons, it’s not too respectful to either one of them… Both men have done more the bball program, than can be said of countless others.
Comments
Let’s go Hogs, these are the ones we’re supposed to win!
Time to whoop some butt!!
WPS!!! & GHG!!!
I’m thinking we get our first road W tonight.
Perfect time of the season to start getting hot…
Tonight’s the night, if we’re going to start a run at some postseason play…
Tonight is the night. I was hoping last Sat would have been the day though, would have made leaving the game a little bit easier.
Hello everyone.
Hey there beasley! How are ya?
Good
This looks like it’s going to be one ugly game…
Slow start, 8-2 them
Our play on the road is 100% inexcusable. We look like a bad junior high team so far.
Young with a 3
Enter BJ Young and a 3-point basket. 8-5 Georgia at 14:00.
And another!
BJ with another 3 pointer. Tied 8-8 .
Praise the lord for BJ. We had more walks than points until he came into the game.
Yeah, we’ve definitely been a Jekyll & Hyde team this year, in terms of home and road play…
That was pitiful defense.
12-8 them @ the under 12
They can’t use the “young team” excuse anymore if they’re serious about making the tourney. You don’t get to play those games at home. We also have the size advantage in this one, so they’re are no excuses if we lose.
16-8 Bulldogs. It’s getting worse.
Ugly!
Wow we look horrible
#42 just pulled a Sanchez…
Just wow
Yeah, that’s pitiful defense…
23-8 Bulldogs. 3 scoring plays so far out of 16 for the Hogs and no defense to be found anywhere.
Sanchez needs to donate his hands to skillets for the cooking impaired.
23-8…
Double digits!
Anderson ain’t Nolan.
We are paying this man Top 10 money for this.
We fired Pelphrey for this type of play correct?
We got a point! YAY!!!
23-11 after a Nobles 3-point play
mrprfct should be our coach. He knows what’s up.
Impressive 3 pointer by Waithe. 26-14 dogs.
I know we can’t win on the road. I know we look like crap on TE road. We look really bad tonight. Disagree?
The not TE
This sucks!
Look at the guys we have coming in next year. We beat UCA for one guy and Jacksonville St. for the other. All 3 guys either play the 2 or 3. No inside help.
We look like we are playing “Between the Hedges” tonight.
Geez Mr. Perfect…..let’s see….first year…..not any of his own guys…..Clark transfers……best player goes down for the year early in season….playing mostly FR and SO……haven’t lost a game at home……won more than any expert predicted in pre-season…….Stop being unrealistic and STOP WHINNING…..at least they have been fun to watch most of the year…better than anything Pelphrey threw out there the entire time he was there!!!
Everybody has a great game against the hogs.
Hogs WILL come back in the second Half!!!!!!
Frank Haithe is winning in his first year.
Playing freshman sophomores doesn’t hurt Calipari.
We look exactly what MA said we would look like a lot this year…..he said it will not be 40 minutes of hell right away….here will be times when it’s 40 minutes of “what the hell”…..give him a chance. If they don’t win another game this year they have exceeded expectations this year.
Pel did have a full roster. CMA is basically coaching Pel’s recruited players (those that stayed)… look at how good Mizzou is doing this year with CMA’s players. It’s going to be more than a one year process / miracle job.
If I were BJ Young I’d declare for the NBA. I’d hate to come off the bench 2 years in a row.
So what do you think we will be seeded in the NCAAs?
OMG, glad I’m not able to watch the game!!! I will say hello to all my fellow hog fans though.
We are “winning in our first year”….we’re 16-7. Stop overreacting.
Mizzou has what 7 players?
Mizzou’s post guy wanted to play for Pelphrey but got caught with the SEC JUCO rule.
I’m sure when this team is good in two or three years Mr. Perfect will be on here cheering them on and claiming he knew it all the time….with no mention of his negative, dumb, unrealistic comments of today. No doubt.
Give Missouri 2 years after all of mikes players have graduated and see what haith does.
Again, look at our recruiting class coming in ad telle how we are going to be good in 3 years? I doubt Young will be here then.
41-19 Georgia.
Hognick, I don’t think will make the NCAA tourney.
Mike Anderson left the cupboard bare at Mizzou. He didn’t recruit at all last year. He got out while the getting was good.
Seriously on Coach Cal winning with freshman & sophs? Considering he lands a starting five of lottery picks just about every year… that makes a lot of sense.
Missouri’s roster

That was extreme sarcasm. I wonder right now if we will ever be in the tournament again with this team.
Notice all the senior, no freshmen, 2 sophomores.
Goodness, arguing for the sake of arguing… same old, same old.
Are you being serious MrP? I really can’t tell.
Exactly, all CMA recruited players… so what point are you ‘trying’ to make?
Proving my point.
Anderson’s best year at UAB was his 2nd out of 4.
His best year at Mizzou was his 3rd out of 5. He was steadily declining.
So who do you dislike more, Mike Anderson or Tyler Wilson?
Here are the Anderson’s guys coming in next year. Feel free to look at the other schools that offered them.
http://rivals.yahoo.com/arkansas/basketball/recruiting/commitments/2012/arkansas-74
I don’t dislike either person.
You should email Jeff Long all of this AD info…
19 points might look like Mount Kilimanjaro with how absent we were in the first half, but we have the talent to overcome it if we can just get in some kind of rhythm.
Basketball…..ummm….when is spring football? Have to show me a lot lot more winning before I even pay attention to Ark basketball. just my opinion ya know
I had to work late and thought the game started at 7:30.
What did I miss?
Did the Hogs have to work late too?
They showed up late also looks like.
how the heck is a cellar dweller SEC team got our score doubled at halftime??? WTHeck
You missed absolutely nothing. No offense, no defense.
Just ask mr.paininthebutt.
I think Qualls might be a diamond in the rough, so I’ll give CMA the benefit of the doubt that he is a great evaluator of talent, but like Mrp is suggesting, he really didn’t do too well on the recruiting trail in his first go round, other than beating out bama for Williams. Now that was a good pull there.
Lol!!!
Better start than the 1st half…
Haha, cheers Randy!
Having missed 18 minutes of the first half, I’ll assume the freshmen are still playing like freshmen on the road. They’re supposed to be playing like sophmores at this point in the season. Nolan would have them playing like sophmores by this time of the year.
Nolan’s players weren’t scared of playing on the road. Nolan’s player were only scared of Nolan.
We stink. We are making Georgia look like kentucky
Cheers, buddy!
Anderson ain’t no Nolan.
I can’t lie; I’m disappointed in this game so far. However, I’m not going to jump just yet.
U can say that again and again……..
Thank God for that!
CMA needs to break out nolans old cowboy boots!!!
What’s funny is no one ever made the comparison, at least not on this thread…
I think I’m ready for baseball…..like NOW!!!!
We just need a DeLorean, some plutonium, and a flux capacitor.
LOL
And track and field!!!
Shooting 29% from field…that’s nasty and embarrassing!!!
Yea, baseball season is looking pretty good right now….
batonrougehog and Randy calling a 3 run walk off homer to win the game…
We gonna be good this year!
All I can say is… Rmbarrassing
Georgia is a high team playing in front of a high school crowd and they are making us look this bad?!?! Tonight I’m embarrassed…may not be tomorrow or the next day, but tonight I’m embarrassed.
We suck, no way around it.
I’m sorry and y’all win all crucify me but Arkansas basketball still sucks.
Yeah, I’m ready for baseball. Hopefully we make it to Omaha this year!
We suck!
http://www.jokesgallery.com/joke.php?joke=2117&id=1
Even Pel’s worst team here would have beat us tonight!
holy frickin crap!!!! what a joke!!!!!! i thought we had a shot at the dance. no way in hell!!!!!!!! the worst team in the SEC just EMBERRASSED the hell out of us. i wont get on anderson, his recruiting, or the freshman either tonight. everything sucked, and that will cost them the tourney. oh well, i am saying this a little later than i normaly do with this program, but better luck next year.
so much for that first road W..
I was really disappointed with our effort, OBVIOUSLY, but the thing that stood out to me was our lack of penetration on the offensive end. With a 4 guard lineup you have to be able to drive and get to the line.
Otherwise dump it into Hunter on every offensive possession and let him pass it back out for a rhthym jumper or get his turn around game going…people give Sanchez crap but he’s the only one that tries to pull of some inside moves (he just usually clanks the shot).
MrP is right.. BJ will be gone sooner rather than later, and we have struck out on our highest priority recruiting targets. I have also noticed that MA’s teams seem to plateau, but hopefully a new BBall practice facility on the horizon will lure the Archie Goodwin’s into BWA, cuz we need top 20 draft pick talent to make it back to the final 4.
Looks like we are back to pre-Sutton basketball.
I don’t think Goodwin made his decision based on a new gym. There is no excuse for this crap. Those guys need to be paying tuition.
Thant was painful to watch. I dont know who had the worst performance Arkansas or the refs… Ok probably Ark but the refs weren’t far behind
I wonder what Peyton think now. I don’t see him posting here now. I agree with MrPerfect. Peyton and his kind get Pel fired for this?
Come on guys…. get a inch expect a mile….young team, rebuilding program with Clark gone and Powell hurt. How would have you predicted this year knowing those loses.

Amen Platinum Jesus
Does anyone think that another Coach could get more from this team?
