As a likely 8/9 seed our saving grace is that we won’t be put in Alabama’s group. As much as it pains me to say it, they’re the best team in the country right now.

I dont follow recruiting but weren't Walsh and Black commits fairly late in the process? I guess that's the risk of taking in state guys early.

Muss has been coaching like he's distracted the entire back half of this season..


Agree. Has had me wondering if he doesn't have another job lined up or at least under consideration. May just be that this group hasn't bought in and he's tired of their shite.

I don’t think Muss is that guy. By that I don’t mean he wouldn’t leave. I mean the guy doesn’t have it in him to mail in any competition. We’re getting his best and he’s just struggling to find answers with this squad.

This board is full of expert psychoanalysts. It can never be that we’re just struggling on the court. It’s always some scandalous underlying secret - Devo is jealous, Muss has quit trying. Someone will just throw some bullshite out and then it gets ran with as if it’s undeniable fact

I think Muss is a master at getting the most out of players that have some experience under their belts.

Getting the most out of a team built around one and dones is something he is going to have to figure out and get used to.

Bama’s mix with two great senior guards surrounded by young major talent is ideal. There aren’t many teams that win big with true freshman guards.

Thank you for saying this. The conjecture was starting to get out of hand

Mike got his fair shot here but Muss needs to correct that shite asap or everyone will start turning on him within the next year. Another season of this and you can bet your arse our fans forget 2 elite 8s real quickly. Once we’ve tasted blood…


Another year like what? Making the tournament as an 8 seed? If we're complaining about that because our expectations were out of whack that's on us. Go back and listen to what muss says. This team started further behind than any team he's had. They probably have a higher ceiling too but he wasn't sure he would get them to the ceiling when this all started.

Didn’t say it was right.

I said if we have another year like this year, people are going to get vocal. Our fans suck.

And that includes me.

When was the last time our fan base unreasonably tried to put a coach on the hot seat?

Mike Anderson was a gloried PE teacher and he got 9 years. Let’s not act like Arkansas is a particularly demanding fanbase.

We love Mike though. He's one of us. I imagine he's happy to see us winning still as good a guy as he is

Which would you prefer? I havent paid any attention to Purdue . Don't pay much attention to anyone other than the SEC because of the time involved.

So how do we match witl Ill and Pur, vs others?

I'd rather get Kansas if Self is out. If we can beat Illinois who I know little about.

Purdue has Zach Edey, 7'4" center that is an absolute beast 22ppg 13rpg and hits hook shots from damn near the FT line. He would have 40/20 vs us.

Eight and that was a special circumstance due to his history with the program.

Edey would destroy Arkansas in the paint.
