Well, Duke is....Duke. Arkansas isn't really an NCAA tourney mainstay, much less a top 25 regular.

So you have so little faith in your own team that their winning a game is not so much an accomplishment, it's just that Arkansas sucks that much?
Nice logic.

Because the context of you being at the bottom end of the Top 25 and everyone around Duke losing the same time they did has absolutely nothing to do with it.

Don't worry, TN comes to The Palace in less than two weeks.....

I'm not concerned about any ranking. I think y'all should stay in the top 25 if you beat Ole Miss. However, the Duke comparisons? It's just comical 
...and you're the second person tonight.

Duke comparisons?

You seem reasonable enough.

Even Bama won @ UT
Y'all have a good team - a better one than anyone expected and it takes a bit for the rankings to catch up. Ours team, OTOH, is one of the strangest I've watched - they are either hot or cold (not just in shooting either but when we can't shoot it just kills us). We also tend to play ranked opponents harder - not sure why but it's always been that way. It's strange but this team's biggest issue is inconsistency. Tyndall can coach and when our guys play above their talent, they can hang and/or beat almost anyone despite everything against them in terms of roster. Just a matter of playing out of our minds. FWIW, we can likewise be turrible.
That said even though I haven't checked your schedule, I think Bama has a good chance of being ranked if you keep playing the way you've been playing.

Its all part of the plan to get bobby portis to come back next year. Therefore, you need a few WTF games.

We are bad. Worst Tennessee team in 10+ years.

As talented as your roster is, you should be embarrassed to lose to this Tennessee team.

It's not like we expected to go undefeated in SEC road games.

We are 13-3 at the halfway point and have an RPI of 16. Arkansas will be fine
Hell, we had bad road losses in our Final Four years, Runner Up year, and National title year.
shite happens

Tennessee will win some games too. People hoping for this loss to keep Arkansas out of the tournament will be disappointed.
