One of the most miserable teams to watch play ball. frick Bo Ryan for what he's done to the game of basketball. Prayers sent.

UCONN


Should be a good one. They were stout last season despite the post-season ban.

Memphis


I say you probably win this going away.

Kansas


Wiggins

Would like to see him get shut down though.

Richmond


I think they play Louisville as well this season. Good stuff.

Ain't that the truth. Can't stand to watch that.

Memphis picked up Michael Dixon who Mizzou sorely missed last year as a 2nd PG who can score. He's a solid player but allegedly had a hard time understanding the meaning of the word no.

Frick Wiggins and frick kU. UF beats them handily.(Think it's at home).

I ordinarily get fired up about basketball but Sir Grant and the underachievers do not get me excited anymore.
I can only hope.

The Wisconsin game is on the road and we'll have four key players suspended. I'd be pleasantly surprised if we won that one.

Memphis is loaded on paper. Pastner is more of a recruiter than coach, but that'll be a tough game.

Embiid, too.

Should be a Gator.

Just from what I've heard, Harrison will probably start at point with Polson backing him up. It's crazy to think the kid has practiced again Wall, Knight, Teague, and now Harrison.


What? Why is it do hard to understand an Elite athlete will be the starter at point. The kid is projected a top 3 on the upcoming draft. Jay Bilas has seen the team play for a week, he has stated Randle and Harrison are beast and one of the top 3 best college players since Durant.

Hawkins is interesting.


Will be playing. Word is, he will see a lot of playing time.

Polson not going to see the playing time like he saw last year. We legit have 7 that could go in 1st round of the draft.

Gotcha.

UF going to lose some games until Walker gets qualified. Maybe more a 3 seed max.

I hope so. He seems like a nice guy personally (but hell so are most of the people on the Rant... at least in real life), but our team is shockingly bad. We play solid D, but in 2 years, I haven't been able to identify any sort of gameplan when we're on offense. Plus, we have some of the worst fundamentals I've ever seen. Last year, we couldn't even pass the ball inside with any consistency. We made dumb, middle school-esque mistakes. That sort of thing

I can handle being outplayed and not having the talent, but many of the things we did wrong last year had nothing to do with talent. They instead reflected poor (or even a total lack of) coaching.

I didn't say it wasn't. Was just passing along what I've heard. Simmah down.

Ummm, I would hope not considering what we have on the roster.

Depends what you mean by "some games." I fully expect to lose to Wisconsin. The Kansas, Memphis, and UConn games will be tough but we'll be capable of winning them.

Our frontcourt should be pretty good without Walker.

So what will Arkansas have that's much different than last season that will make them better than LSU and Alabama (okay I can maybe see Alabama but definitely not LSU)?

I don't see how anyone can find that statement laughable until y'all show you can win a game or two outside of Bud Walton.
