really good info from musselman on his strategy of keeping a shallow bench. it's intentional: LINK
Because after every game, even when we won, there’s like four guys unhappy because they weren’t playing. Or their parents were unhappy, or their AAU coach.
...
In college, you play 30 games. We don’t have any 35-year-old players who have played 12 or 13 years in the NBA that are icing their knees night after night after night. So I thought depth was way overrated in college. And I didn’t like walking into a locker room and having guys not be happy with their minutes, so I came up with the formula: I wanted four guys sitting out or I wanted four scholarships who were guys either redshirting, sitting out due to transfers or open scholarships. That way I felt like you could control your team chemistry in the locker room. That’s above the conditioning standpoint.

Sills has been slowly improving each week for the most part.
He is the 17th best player in the league in regards to offensive rating, 9th in 2 point fg%, and 2nd in TO rate. While I think Whitt and Bailey are better overall defenders, Sills is probably our best on ball defender. Joe is underrated in that regard though.
He is actually taking less shots during conference play but being way more efficient. Hopefully this is something he builds on like we expected him to after the end of last year.

First time in a long time I’ve woken up on a Gameday for a big game and been pumped up from the moment my feet hit the floor.
I’m ready to fight somebody right now.

I think the Hogs will be ready for this one today. Kentucky is going to play hard though coming off a loss the other night to Carolina.
This has the makings of a great ball game today.

Damnit....
Even to this point I wasn't going to get football tickets/donate for football again.
Then you posted this with Pittman being all in for us Arkansas Razorbacks.
Grrrr…. Got all emotional and stuff... or the jalapenos I was cutting … yeah, you know!

Dude that just walked up, gave Pittman a hug and said "I'm so happy you're here." sums me up perfectly. 
EDIT: He replied to the video

Auburn game thread could be better. I’ll make sure to downvote all your posts.
