We foul a lot. WTF over? 33 free throws for Arky and gave them 18 TO's? How the hell did we make it a 2 OT game? I want to watch a damn game. The Rocky Mtns should love to show SEC games...

Frankie beast mode and Chubb gave us an inside presence until the last 3-4 min.

Rob Chubb is literally awful. We lost the game by trusting him to catch passes in the post then actually complete the play and make a shot.

I only saw the OT periods but shite we did not deserve to win after that offensive effort

Game kinda hurt actually, but maybe it's the hangover

Yea, we should be able to shoot free throws

I don't disagree, but some of that blame has to fall on the guys trying to feed a big man with bad hands with a bounce pass 4 feet from the basket. Give the ball to him high. I wish he'd stop trying the acrobatic shot to avoid contact down low and go hard at the basket with it and get fouled. It woudl basically be the same result becuase he can't hit free throws (nobody could last night).

I do disagree with this part, at least the not deserving to win portion. Until about 5 minutes left in the game we played lights out and absolutely deserved to win that game. I think we tried to take a little air out of the ball a bit too early and got out of what was working for us. Not really blaming anyone for that becuase we were on the road and trying to control the game but i do think it was a bad decision.

The inability to hit free throws over the past 6 years or so is mystifying. It's also worrisome since a good free throw % is a product of time in the gym, and these guys don't seem to have put the time in under either Lebo or Barbee.

Just frustrating to watch gah. We show promise but still shite the bed too easily in pressure situations.

It was a tough loss no doubt but we were literally 1 play away from beating a decent Arkansas team at Bud Walton. I don't know how much some of you follow basketball but that is one of the top 3 toughest places to win in the conference. I'm not saying we claim a moral victory because I don't believe they exist but to give up on this team based on that 1 game is just fricking dumb. We've had a solid 5 game stretch of playing good basketball for the 1st time in a looooong time and we're about to add a few pieces.

Same can be said about Illinois in Champagne.

But its ALWAYS that "one play" ain't it?
