re: **2025-26 ARKANSAS BASKETBALL THREAD - JANUARY EDITION**

Thank God. Finally won a conference opener.

Can actually have a good season now, and not just be consigned to going 22-12 while miraculously winning two NCAA tournament games.

Pretty efficient game from Knox tonight. Brazile successfully stretching the floor as well. Don't know how you beat this team when everyone is contributing like this.

Yeah that turned into a horrible watch down the stretch.

Acuff is starting to be that guy that you can just put it in his hands and tell him to go to work when you need it

When they run 4 low at the end and just let Acuff do his thing its beautiful. Only an elite defender will slow that down.

And if they collapse he just dishes it out to Brazile or Thomas in the corner.

I don't worry about this team offensively. It's the defense that will hurt us if anything.

Man..... this team.... I'm not gonna say it yet... but........
