There's enough talent to win every SEC game this year.
Problem is finding the consistent effort and attention to detail.
Last game was BY FAR our best game on offense we've played all year. And defensively, for the majority of the game, it was pretty damn good as well.
The only reason the game was close was their second chance points.
Menifield could be the key this year. He obviously runs PG better than Ellis.
I think he will be primary ball handler, and when offense isn't clicking they will go to Mark middle pick and roll action.

Arkansas joined the SEC.
• The Razorbacks own a 38-21 advantage in the series including a 23-5 mark
in games played in Fayetteville.

Arkansas winning at the SEC Tournament) and the Razorbacks have won
14 of the last 19.

80-76, in overtime.
Arkansas in SEC Openers

game, 110-92, on Jan. 4, 1992 in Fayetteville. Arkansas is 4-0 versus
Auburn in SEC openers (1-0 at home and 3-0 at Auburn).
• This year snaps a three-year streak of opening SEC play on the road. In
fact, Arkansas had played 8 of the last 11 SEC openers on the road.
^ After winning at Auburn three years ago to open SEC play in Coach Muss’
second year with the Hogs, Arkansas lost its last two SEC openers (at Miss
State and at LSU).

minutes of the second half where he scored 15 points thank to making

Ladybacks lose SEC opener to last place Kentucky (7-7) by 10. 
Neighbors is toast with another shitty SEC slate and no tournament. No choice if it crashes and burns again.

His teams are so hard to watch. It is sad because there is some legit girls talent on their team.

The talent is there to be a perennial NCAA Tourney team. The execution... not so much.

Can’t settle for mid range jumpers today against Broome and Jaylin Williams.
Also can’t let Auburn get into transition a ton. We are horrible at it and they are elite at it.
