Pretty good. They'll be better soon. Another big learning opportunity in this one. They've now gone on the road and gotten whooped by arguably the best team in the country and they never gave up. Fought hard. 

This. Have an upvote.

I predicted Tennessee by 22. Hawgs covered and lost by 19

But how many no-calls did Tenner get?

Either way, gotta make your free throws. Home team is always gonna get a friendly whistle. It's an unavoidable bias in the officiating. Home CROWD makes a difference.

You gotta take the refs out of it.

Make your free throws and that's a ball game. With a "legitimate final four team."

But it's cooler to say that Mike Anderson should be fired I guess.

You did watch the game right? All but maybe a couple foul calls were legitimate fouls.


Sounds like SEC road games

This is why it is so frustrating when we don't take advantage of it at home. Normally Mike has been solid at that but not this year.

Two of Gafford's first three fouls were questionable at best...

It really seemed like they got away from that last year and maybe even the year before that. I haven't seen a game called this bad in a while.

If we shoot 100% from the free throw line tonight we still lose that game by close to 20 points. Yes I realize 19 - 9 = 10, but Tenner doesn’t play their scrubs or let off the gas at the end

The one was a clean fricking block on an outstanding play by Gafford running one of their guards down from behind.

Eh. Like I said. Can't complain. We will get the same bullshite calls in the Bud. But getting calls doesn't work any better than not getting them if you don't hit your free throws.

I still believe they'll get that corrected and it's a confidence issue.

They'll get there. And when they do this team will be hell on wheels.

I do agree that it hasn't been as bad lately but it can still be really bad in stretches. I try not to complain because for the most part, everyone gets that advantage at home.

We only shot one more FT than LSU and seven more against Florida. We also don't drive enough at times so that hurts as well on trying to get a whistle.

Thanks for the value add, ArHog.

Can always count on you when it comes to real discussion.

I'm not even joking when I say that if I were Mike Anderson I would tell these guys I'm gonna lay the entire damn season on the line right now and not do a damn thing besides make these dudes shoot free throws until they start hitting them in games.

"How many hours per week will the NCAA allow us to practice? Well every single one of those hours is now dedicated to free throws. If y'all fall behind in other areas, well tough shite. But we are gonna make our fricking free throws end of discussion. If it costs me my job then so be it. Grab a ball and get to the line."

I'm not even joking. They should be shooting about 2,000 free throws per day until they get their shite together. No more time to "grow up." Make them NOW.

I cant believe that I agree with you on something concerning Razorback Basketball.

And run their arses off simulating game speed while doing so.....

Get tough Mike... Now or never I suppose!
