Did not expect us to be 4-0 on the season. Going into SEC play I would have been ecstatic with 2-2. Hell of a win tonight.

Whatever the reason, the ball gets stuck in his hands with the shot clock running out way too much. Got to address that.

God what a massive win

Top 5 road win. Just massive. Such a huge cushion.

Keep up the good work .

This is what an elite coach does. Beard is such a beast. Worth every dollar.

Holy shite I can’t believe we pulled it off. That has to be one of the highest ranked wins, if not the highest ranked win in program history. At least on the road

Yep that was probably the best win I can remember since we beat BYU in the tournament play in game. Malik Dia is carrying this team the past 3 games. He nearly had a 20 20 game and had an all time great game against a top 5 opponent. Brakefield going 6 of 6 at the free throw line to seal the deal was clutch as hell.

Malik Dia just put in a top 3 Rebel performance of all time. I’ve only been following rebel hoops since 2010, but I think you’d be hard pressed to show me more than 2 better than that.

We were like 0-34 or something before tonight. I would be willing to bet 25 of those are Kentucky

Yep. We were 0-34 against Top 4 teams on the road prior to tonight and 3-48 against Top 4 teams in history home or away.

Arkansas boosters have to be irate that they couldn’t get Beard from us and had to settle for Cal now

Arkansas also is paying over 5 million dollars for that roster that is now 0-4 in league play. If we want to keep Beard it starts with fan support. We have to sell out every remaining game and have a great home environment.

Massive momentum swing type of win tonight.

I think some fans are sort of feeling the team out still in terms of attendance like always winning cures that. So people will start going now that theres some sizzle to the steak.

And the students will be back and should hopefully get a home court advantage for conference games too

The students returning to campus is the key. Coupled with that win last night.

The problem with attendance is that the big club level area across from the students is never more than about half full. Those are the high donor season ticket holders. Mostly older couples and they don't attend most games and they aren't rowdy when they do attend.

Last weekend the LSU game was a sellout. But that's the largest section in the arena and it was about half full at best.

I’ve actually felt like I got dirty looks when I’ve stood and yelled or clapped for an extended period of time in that club level. It only made me want to do it more.
