Huge as he can give a break to both knox and TB

And its 5 more fouls


Yes

TT is a great rebounding squad, which means lots of fouls on us trying to get a few. Thiero could be the difference in us hanging in there, or ending the game with only 5 guys left.

Drake had 0 inside presence to slow down Toppin and Williams.

Vs us it will be

6’11 Aidoo vs 6’9 Toppin
6’10 TB vs 6’6 Williams
6’6 Knox vs 6’3 McMillan
6’4 Davis vs 6’2 Anderson
6’4 Wagner Vs 5’11 Hawkins

I fully believe our length will give them fits.

They pretty much run a 7 man rotation.

Off the bench is Overton (6’5) and Frederiko (6’11)

Shut them down on the inside and make them shoot contested 3’s. Make it a fast paced physical game and we will wear them down.

They haven’t been pushed yet and they are about to be. This aint UNCW or Drake they are facing.

I will never understand why Cal couldn’t just sign one more guy, a thick 6’9ish 3 star rebounder type and guy who can guard a big. Our entire front line is long and thin, and after Aidoo we don’t have a guy who can bang defensively. Thiero is more of a wing than a banger.

That’s like paying for a luxury car but not wanting to pay for the collision insurance on top of it.

I suspect you’ll see it next year. They have already talked about going 11 deep.

Cal came in early April and grabbed what he could and has made a Sweet 16.

This year while we were young he built a roster with a lot of older pieces. A huge shift in his philosophy that used to be a team full of one and done players.

I suspect next year you will see a deeper front court. Its why i have wondered if Z will be around next year or if Cal will see his lack of production and send him packing. I’d gladly swap pringle for him.

With Nolan losing his wife, how great is it for Calipari to embrace him and return him to the Razorback family. Would love to see him courtside cheering the Hogs in the Final 4.

These guys could put Nolan back in the spotlight and give a resurgence to the legacy he built for Razorback basketball. Do it for Nolan!!!

Cal is gonna fill that empty banner while he's here.

Eddie got us to the mountain, but Nolan rose to the top and conquered the peak.






Where's his damn statue Hunter?

How did I miss the clip of Hawkins ripping the team before the Missouri game?

Starts at the 11:45 mark
