ozark trout fisher Posted March 6, 2014 Author Posted March 6, 2014 Just saw the score. How was it OTF? As ugly as I imagine it was? Worse than you can imagine. Down 30-20 at halftime and we were shooting 28% at that point...... Then A&M had us beat, some Mizzou fans starting to leave, and the Aggies proceeded to totally give it away in the last 20 seconds with a turnover, missed free throws and an awful, awful foul. As A&M players/coaches were walking off the court I couldn't help but feel sorry for them. They looked like they didn't even know what happened.
Quillback Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 Wow, saw that score, glad to see they pulled it out.
snap Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 saw it was their only lead of the nite.......hate to be a downer, but they gonna need some divine intervention at Tennessee!!! see where ARK blew out ole miss by like 30!!!
Quillback Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 AR is mounting a late season surge, I hope it carries forward into the SEC tourney.
ozark trout fisher Posted March 6, 2014 Author Posted March 6, 2014 I saw they put up 110 on Ole Miss last night. When I get time I'm gonna have to watch the replay on ESPN3 to see how on earth that happened. Arkansas is playing at least like the second best team in the SEC. I think even Florida would be scared to meet them in the SEC tournament (which is pretty likely, given that you'll probably be the 4 seed if you beat 'bama.) But yeah, I think that win comes closer to locking the Hogs up in the NCAAs. Beating 'bama would do it almost for sure. Even if you lose that game, 1 or 2 more wins in the SEC tournament should finish the job. Mizzou's in a lot of trouble at UT! Our only hope is if we somehow channel the early season team that went on the road and took down NC State and Arkansas in tough environments. But I'm not sure that team even exists anymore.
Quillback Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 NCAA tourney is setting up to be interesting, Syracuse and Duke are wilting. How good is Wichita State? Florida can be beat. I see some semblance of parity.
Quillback Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 It does seem like the planets are aligning for them.
ozark trout fisher Posted March 6, 2014 Author Posted March 6, 2014 Not sure what to think of Wichita State. They'll get (and deserve) a 1 seed if they win Arch Madness.......but could they lose to a stronger than usual 8-9 seed in the second round? For sure. You see teams like Iowa, Pittsburgh, and Kentucky that could fall to that range, all of which are ridiculously dangerous. On the other hand, could they win it all? Given the lack of a great team this year, definitely. I think Florida is the overall favorite depending on their draw. Arizona and Louisville are close behind. Syracuse needs to get it together. Duke and Kansas are overrated. Wisconsin and Virginia are two other teams that are somewhat sneaky contenders. Personally I would pick any of those teams plus a few others over Wichita, but in a one game scenario anything can happen. I think in reality they are probably a top-10-15 team in that played a poor schedule and got lucky a lot....but a top 10-15 team is always going to be a legitimate national title contender if they get a good draw.
Mark Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 Leanthony Earley is the real deal. I always root for the Wichita States of the world. Mizzou, on the other hand, if they make the tournament, which they don't deserve, they are one and done. St. Louis U no longer looks like the team of the first half of the season. Arkansas is certainly peaking. But the SEC is down this year. The National Champ, if not Wichita State, will come from the east coast.
