First off congratulations on the win. Y'all look like a completely different team from last year.
Ok, on to my question. Over on the MSU board I got into a discussion with State posters who were upset with the loss.
They blamed Stansbury for the loss, I responded by saying Arksnsas shot great and played great defense and that y'all will beat a lot of teams at BWA this year.
Do you guys think Yall beat State due to Stsnsbury's coaching or due to Nobles having a career game and y'all having your highest scoring game of the year?
Props again on the win both Y'all and LSU are the most improved teams in the SEC.

A combo of all those things. Stans teams are NEVER good with full court presses. I think we win in the Hump against Arky, fwiw.
Arky is going to be good under Anderson, no doubt.

Arkansas was just the better team last night.
We wanted it more, out hustled MSU, and fed off a great crowd in one of the bigger home court advantages in the conference.
We played great all around, and Stansbury was clearly not ready for our pressure style, and your guards couldn't keep up with ours off the screens and picks.

I don't know if you can blame Stans totally for looking unprepared, as our team looks completely different than it did last year.
As for the venue, honestly the crowd was into it, but it also was only 60% full and virtually no student section.
Bottom line is MA is a helluva coach and in spite of the talent gap, we'll do that to a few more teams in Bud Walton this year.
I'm not sure what Stans could have done to prepare for that game. Your players looked skeered.

We'll have our ups and down this season because we're so young. Last night was clearly and up.
Turnovers differential was the difference.(we were +9). Which is what we're known for this year, we overcome rebounding disadvantage with defense and converting turnovers into points.
Mickelson also played great defense on Moultrie and Sidney down low. Had 4 more blocks last night.

You do realize that y'all had a player with a career day too, right? Y'all scored your second highest point total of the season. Y'all shot 51% from the field and 80% from the line.
We won because our guards controlled the tempo, even when le Stans was trying to get your players to slow the game down. Your bigs are slow and lazy as frick and got into foul trouble/played badly because of it.

Honestly it looked like State just was not ready for the tempo and looked out of shape compared to the hogs. I dont think it was anything Stansbury did or did not do, we just had an outstanding game for 94 feet and 40 minutes

State would be a better team without sidney.

I'd put most of the blame on Stans if I were an MSU fan.
That team wasn't prepared, and they looked out of shape.
Its really easy to shoot as well as we did when half our baskets were lay ups. Stans made no changes at halftime and we went on a 20-5 run to start.

Well with my limited knowledge of both teams here is what i figure happened.. Our style of play is tough for anyone who doesn't like to run. State's players are notoriously out of shape. We won because of conditioning.

Ok I'll say it... You are #Hailstate and we Are the Flagship. Your school sucks and ours doesn't.

Why does it have to be one or the other? We lost because 1)Arkansas was a better team last night 2)Arkansas was better prepared for their opponent aka stansbury got out-coached. Arkansas moved the ball and moved without the ball on offense. State stood around and looked at each other. That's the case in every game we play. Arkansas hustled on defense. State didn't look like they had ever played together on defense. Arkansas made everything. State didn't, because their coach doesn't get them in good situations to take good shots.
