I think NIT. This team plays hard and is super fun to watch especially when Dusty and Bell get hot.

I like the guards on this team, Anderson finally has a defensive stopper in Durham.

I think that so far this has been MA's best coaching job. I know the expectations were low but they are pretty fun to watch and can freakin' shoot it when they get hot. Lack of depth in the paint is going to kill us down the stretch and probably this weekend as well but I'm actually enjoying this team.... my only disappointment is with the fair weather fans of NWA that won't get off their butts and drive 10 min to support this team. I wish I was closer, I'd be there every night.
I think we have a ceiling of NCAA 12 seed type bid... but NIT is probably more likely... but you never know.

Well with Mizzou out of the way in the SEC tourney, we can surely make a run!

Still a pre season top 25 team with a shite ton of talent.

Stansbury sucks with the talent he has there.

I seldom have expectations for any teams that I support, and try to enjoy every game. I have hope, but not expectations. My hope would be an NCAA tourney bid.

15 wins
We have a rough 4 game stretch coming up. I only see 1 win out of that stretch.

Didn't A&M beat them by 25ish?

SEC basketball is hot garbage. Hope MA and the team can take advantage of that. They're nearly at double digit wins which I didn't think would be possible before the season.

They were ranked in the top 25 the week before we played them.

The record is a reflection of a schedule made for the roster he expected to have back, not what he had come back, even then, this team competed in all the games, even those on the road. aTm is proving to be a very good upper classmen led team this year.

That isn't as bad as the blow out losses to equal rosters his couple of seasons.

Durham, who many thought was maybe a role player off the bench, very well may be the best "true PG" in the SEC this year, defining the term in its traditional sense of a facilitator and defender.

There isn't a player on the roster you can say hasn't improved since they've been here, the key for this staff's recruiting is getting coachable players with upside. Arkansas will never be a place that can land enough 1 and dones who will play nice for one season, there are only 4 or 5 programs that could do this, and only 1 relies on this...
