I thought the same thing, but whatever it was it was worth whatever it took to make it happen. That was the first time in years I've felt like I was watching real Arkansas Razorbacks basketball at The Palace.

I had even told folks on the USC board I wouldn't be surprised what with finals being around the corner if the game didn't draw a big house. Never have I been so happy to be so utterly wrong. Just a great crowd and what an atmosphere!

Due to CMA winning, nothing to do with Long.

Take your tin foil hat to David's Burgers

Less about Long, more about The Chadillac being introduced tonight. But I hope the fans that made the trip just to see the new coach also saw how legit this team is tonight and we can start packing the house every home game like back when we were humming.

Bro if you don't think that there was a significant fraction of people there that cared more about seeing the coach introduced I want whatever you're smoking because it's that GOOD shite.

Win games

Pack tBud

Football coach and AD has nothing to do with Basketball games, just like Sharkansas.

I didn't go to the game to see CCM, I went to watch CMA and the #fastest40

:dwi: and your tin foil hat

We had a good team all last year too and still never sold out. If you think the one night we do is also the night we're introducing the new football coach is coincidence, you're delusional.

Don't get me wrong, I know we as a fanbase are perfectly capable of packing Bud strictly out of basketball fandom, but that hasn't been the case until extremely recently. We've all noted on here how the Bud hadn't felt as intimidating as it was in the past. Tonight was different and I think a lot of that can be attributed to the energy and excitement Morris and his hire brings. Obviously it won't take much for this kind of support for the basketball team to continue without Morris involved, as I stated above.

Thinking the basketball game sold out because of Chad Morris is delusional.

This was also the first weekend game since the majority of the state was able to see the team against top competition in the PK80, and it just happened to be a highly ranked team, not a good-decent mid-major with little name recognition on the front of their jerseys.

Yup let's ignore CMA and pack tBud for a 14-22 coach.

Not the reason I went, but maybe why your "Homies" went

Presentation of the game was much better IMO. Not a ton of ads and crowd killers during timeouts tonight. The Palace was rocking.

Not sure why you two are so asshurt at the very idea of someone being at the game because of the added incentive of seeing the coach announced playing a role in tonight's spike in attendance. Is this a personal trigger?
