What an embarrassing and oh so classic Arkansas let down season.

Turned it off in the first half when Black dribbled to the top of the key and literally threw it straight to Vescovi.

I see we managed to get blown out and they lost one of their best players?

Has there ever been a worse collection of 5
Star talent? Only Arkansas could manage this one. Hope Muss learns a lesson.

NBA potential doesn’t equate to winning games. Muss learning on the job.

Smith is the best player we have, but chemistry is a real thing. Was our chemistry disrupted when he came back? Hard to say, but definitely possible.

6 TOs in 22 minutes= off night?

Looks like Graham didn’t play at all again and they destroyed us in the paint anyway.

What is Muss even doing?

I don't think Smith was ever the problem.

This team has so many problems and not just chemistry.

Graham got his stuff pushed in when he played

In his defense so did the others

What’s our record 6 games before and after his return

5-1 without and him in Brons hot tub
2-4 since

He’s the chemistry issue

I don't care for NBA potential.

I want to win some damn games.

He needs to go back to what he was doing because this season is a-hole.

Black is a turnover machine, hope he does well in the NBA because he’s done jack shite for us. Can’t shoot and can’t distribute.

He may very well be a good player at the next level but his measurables haven’t accounted to much here. Would be nice to get some players who are already good at playing basketball and don’t just have “potential.”

Some of these players like Black aren't very motivated but I'm sure his lack of motivation will change once he gets into the league.

What I wouldn’t give to have Notae, Toney, Umude, right now. Appreciative guys who were hungry.

I used to laugh at cal and Kentucky for having guys with lottery pick status who didn’t hustle or play up to their potential. Now I’m not. Duke dealing with the same thing right now.

Just get one and out him with hungry upperclassman. I’d rather make the elite 8 with that than squeak in the tournament and get bounced round one.

Same way with gafford. Dude always was on the floor, no hustle, fans suck him off. Goes to NBA and doesn’t do that stuff. Tired of these “potential” players. Find hungry skilled players who want to fight for 40 mins. Unfortunately it isn’t an Arkansas thing, it’s a modern student athlete thing.

This was a bad loss but I like our talent on a neutral floor, we have the ability to beat anyone with a clean game. In past years a 7-10 was a coin flip opener and auto loss in second round, this team has a higher ceiling.

The White Supinionists are gonna be fun on the buzz tomorrow.

We are not good. Muss has also been outcoached lately. The production of Walsh, the twins, Graham, and Kamani tonight was laughably bad. Pretty sure they combined for less than 10 points and rebounds total.

I'm so ready for this season to be over. Exactly how I felt with 2 left in football. This roster just doesn't have whatever "it" is.
