If we were hitting shots we'd be up 20

No we wouldn't

They had to have a 4 minute drought and start the 2nd half 1-8 from 3 for us to even get a one point lead.

What does that have to do with us not hitting shots?

58% from the line and 38% from the floor. Yeah we should all be thrilled with our team.

I haven't watched many games in recent years, but I'm pretty sure that Anton Beard has regressed since his first year.

Still, nice win for Arkansas!

Had to miss the free throw at the end just to make sure we made it as hard as possible.

OSU didn't make a field goal the final 7:34.

Never seen so many official reviews in a BB game. Good lord.

We made it tough on ourselves again, but still found a way to win.

I guess kudos to BoarEd for that obscure stat on 1 possession games. Posting that and then it happening is kind of like calling your shot.

Glad to see us win our 3rd straight.

In no way should anyone be happy about having to have a largely self-inflicted 7 minute scoring drought for a one point win. We are not playing good basketball. Relieved? Yes. Happy? Absolutely not. We played like dogshit and barely beat a bad team that would have killed our RPI had we lost.

Replay rules are ruining CBB, rules need to be tweaked

I'm sure that was 100% on them... had nothing to do with our defense

Bingo, shot like shite and yet still won against a team that nearly beat Texas Tech, beat OU and barely lost to WV... I'll take it

You listed 3 games, in which they only won one of them to convince me of how good they are. You can probably reflect on that on your own.

2nd worst shooting team in the Big 12. So yes, it was.

Take this line and apply to to the rest of our games and let me know what our record is at the end of the year. We literally only won this game because Macon and CJ found their strokes and OSU couldn't hit water if they fell out of a boat in the 2nd half. People that are ok with this have either completely given up on Arkansas being a good program again or just have no clue about basketball. We are the 2nd best coached team on the floor almost every game. Selfishness on fastbreaks leading to missed buckets instead of easy assists, complete lack of focus on rebounding, zero perimeter defense, guards that are still content with jacking up 3's early in the shot clock without even remotely looking inside. There are an abundance of issues that are going to come crashing down on this team the second we step on the floor against a contending team. SEVEN of our players shot free throws this game. ONLY TWO made at least two free throws. Take Thomas and Macon off the line and we went 1-8 tonight. Call it a melt all you want, it's 100% true and no one should be happy with the lack of progression from this team this far into conference play. We are objectively worse than we were at the start of the year.
