This years arkansas team isn't top 20 quality yet. They could be by the end of the season, lots of basketball to be played. Right now I'd say they're certainly a top 64 team good enough to go to the dance, however they're still going to struggle on the road just like every other team outside of the top 20.

At what point does that "struggle" look less like an expected outcome and more like a "bigger issue?" Struggling on the road isn't an excuse to ignore fundamental issues in the way the team is run, IMO. Mike's 7-34 on the road at Arkansas. Do you have to be a top 5 team to expect to win more than 17% of your road games, regardless of competition?

Because they're inadequately prepared to play on the road time and time again. There are a few constants in the past 4 years, but Mike Anderson's game planning/in-game adjustments are the biggest common denominator IMO.

Agreed.

I can't confidently agree that they are good enough to make the dance. Our resume isn't good enough as it stands with only one good win, really. If the SEC wasn't so shittastic in basketball I would agree we'd have ample opportunities to step up and make amends for a bad loss.

Isn't that what separates the good teams from the bad? Winning on the road? Winning in tough environments? Finding ways to win when the chips are down? Aren't we striving to be a good team? So what are we missing? Personnel? In year 4? Mike's fault.

Bro I don't care enough to have a long conversation about this at the beginning of the season. Like I said lots of basketball yet to be played. Let's revisit this at the end of the season and go from there.

BUT WHAT WILL I USE TO DISTRACT ME FROM THE REST OF MY RESPONSIBILITIES IF YOU DON'T E-DEBATE WITH ME!? You so selfish.

Completely ignore offense. Our defense is terrible. You don't even need talent to be a great defensive team, within reason. But Mike does nothing to take the pressure OFF of the D. He preaches ball pressure on guards 30+ feet from the basket. Guard beats the first defender, defense collapses, opposition gets wide open shot. Rinse & repeat. This has been an obvious takeaway from the last 2 games. I'd be more encouraged about our coach if he could see how stupid of a strategy this is, particularly in college basketball.
It's like I've been saying the same thing for years and MA is too stupid to change.

Maybe you're the stupid one for continuing to watch?

Where were you yesterday?
Certain posters only show up after a loss but don't post after a win.

Maybe the saddest bump I've ever seen. You crawl out from your hole for this?

Hopefully ocelot is self-satirizing here. No one could be this pathetic.

It's almost a 4 year bunp.
Obviously this has been on his mind for sometime.

I’m surprised anyone is upset by that loss. Sure, I wish it had been different but Tenn was amazing. And it was our 3rd game in 3 days.
Posted on 3/10/18 at 6:58 pm to pioneerbasketball
Where have I been after any of our games this year? And why the frick is that relevant? It's not. It's a distraction meant only to disparage me by weak-minded simpletons.

Explain what's pathetic, count.

This is bad and you should feel bad.

Why? Can't criticize? I guess I can just post a new thread. Or are only rainbows and lollipops allowed in the land of denial? Better control that message.

have you done gone and lost your damn mind.
Nobody can win against a team that shoots lights out in the first half like tenner did tonight.
Why are you bringing up a thread from ages ago to melt.
Dude, I usually agree with you but this is just pathetic. Move On .
