You want to call a player "great" because he had a good game against one of the worst teams in the conference?


No, I originally pointed out that we don’t win the SEC tournament without him. Then you conveniently left that game out.

Then in a tight game against High Point he had 14 and 12 with 4 blocks. I don’t understand the hate for him.

We don't win a tournament without one of the starters. Really bold statement. He was 4th on the team in scoring that game. Doesn't mean he's a "great" player or a loss of any significance. He was part of the reason the interior was this team's Achilles heel.

You don't understand the hate for a 5 that didn't play defense and routinely got out-rebounded by guards?

You guys do realize if his waiver gets approved within a reasonable timeframe he's coming back to Arkansas right? It doesn't really matter.

Not particularly. Just don't see the point in acting like Ewin was some huge asset. This team hit a wall with a generational player because the play in the frontcourt didn't match the play in the backcourt and Ewin was half of that problem.

Interesting, you called Acuff a generational player, and we hit a wall because our bigs didn’t match his play.

So we just need two generational bigs plus a generational point guard to have more success. Bold statement!

Yep. Acuff was the entire backcourt and played the only position considered to be in the backcourt. You're very smart.

I could insult your math skills but you’ll just twist my words and make up fake arguments to make yourself feel better anyway.

Kinda like you trying to insinuate the term backcourt only means Acuff?

I also said the play of the frontcourt (group of players) didn't match the play of the backcourt (a separate group of players). Do you think everyone in the backcourt was generational? Because that's the only way what you said would make any sense.

You're just trolling at this point. Everyone who watched the team knows the frontcourt was the weakness all year. It was brought up from December to March.
