Somebody who's been paying more attention than me give me the scoop tonight. I know we've been playing a lot better with Sharife obviously and see Arkansas has gotten blasted the last two times out. I want to take AU at +190, good idea or terrible idea?

I never bet on Auburn. This one comes down to if Arkansas can push the tempo to an uncomfortable speed like last time and hit their threes. We will see how much we’ve matured since then.

He’s also having to do everything by himself right now. Flanigan stepped up last game, but today it was like everyone else was afraid to take a shot when things got tight. Cooper had 25 points and got fouled on the game winning shot. Thor was the only other play even in double digits with 12.

Now if you’re talking about the transition three that Harper loved, then yeah he’s got a long way.

The team has a long way to go. We are always going to be a point guard heavy team under Bruce but we must protect the basketball. Once Cardwell went out seems they just kept crashing the glass on offense. They had already chipped away some but he's a big part of our interior defense. Flannigan and JWill have to get more shots same for Jamal. 19 shots from Cooper in game 4 is to many shots.

This has been a common theme in CBB this year. First half they were letting us bang with guys and that was allowing us to get so many blocks. Then second half Cooper and Sills could have pretty much drawn a foul any time they wanted.

Still no reason for us to lose that though. Had a massive lead and had opportunities to close it but missed 3-4 FTs.

We just had no answer for them double teaming Shariffe. They did it for the majority of the second half and we could not figure out what to do. I love Bruce but that was pretty embarrassing.

We got out hustled in the second half and played soft.

we're also the youngest team in the league, w a true freshman who is playing in his 4th game, and another improtant part of our team out with a concussion.

I also remember when Harper was a freshman and we struggled bc we simply didn't know how to win and I am sure we lost games we had the lead in if i remember.

Choke is your word. Inexperience is what i use...

There is a reason I only officiated one basketball game, walked off the court and said never again. What other sport has fouls for looking a guy the wrong way, then no foul called when blood is drawn, then stuffing a guy into the backboard when suddenly the bead falls out of the whistle?

Leave it to better men ...
