All the freshman are playing well just not contributing scoring much. Thor, Powell, Moore all. Game is quick on the offensive in. Still love the hustle.

Tied game 74

Feels like if we get to running these last 5 minutes we could come back

FTs and not taking care of the ball are why we will lose this one. I have a feeling that will continue to be a recurring theme in losses.

Yep many games will be like this for the year. We are still better then I expected. I think Arkansas is pretty good. Probably a tourney team.

Not our night. Can’t finish and making mistakes at key moments when it seems like they are catching all the breaks

Ball has bounced their way. Still got some fight in us. Lets try to close the gap.

Turnovers and FTs. Story of the game.

- Edit - And defense. No matter how fast you play you can't give up 90 very often and win

Overall it was a decent loss. A lot of good. I felt like arkie got a bunch of late clock bailout calls. We didn't force the issue, but when we did we didn't get the calls. They are a good team though. I look forward to seeing this team grow.

turn overs were costly, too many and a little surprising

We've been turning the ball over all season. Outside of this game and Gonzaga we were so much more talented. The young guys struggled with the defensive speed tonight. That's to be expected but we have to get much better on defense.

Been listening to most, not watching, guess it's more obvious seen than in remark.

Just not going to get better until the new PGs get used to being attacked by SEC pressure guards. Only getting Sharife out there will help that some. Just remember Cooper has not played ANY competition, so expect inexperience and inconsistency from him too. He'll mainly provide better quickness to get out of trouble.

As Pearl said, to overcome the TOs we have to play better D, and force it back to us.

Yep, we are going to have to be really patient with Coop at the beginning. He hasn’t played in a game and has just now even started back practicing.

The biggest difference in our defense this year is just a lack of TO’s and causing chaos. That should come with time and experience though.
