Great win by Bama. Silenced a capacity crowd nearly the whole night. Arkansas being butt at any and all aspects offensively helped as well.

You simply can’t play Council and Devo that many minutes at the same time. Muss has to pick one or the other and rotate. And Black can’t be this bad. He’s had a horrendous game.


Bama plays 9 or 10 guys that hustle and half of them go 6’8” plus. ISO ball isn’t really going to work against us. The teams that had success, Gonzaga and UConn, run structured movement offenses.

Arkansas will win a lot of games this year on athleticism alone, but we’re a bad matchup for anyone relying on athleticism

Did y’all watch Smith when he played?

He’s not a lights out shooter and wasn’t great in defense.

We will have the same problems.

We really shot poorly for 3/4 of the game, but got hot when it counted.

He played like three games and scored over 20 in two of those. Not only can he score, but he opens more things up down low. Not saying we can make a lay up, but at least they would be more open.

We got hot when they finally let us play. Hard to get in the groove when every possession ends in a whistle.

Too many freshman means too many problems. I can't see this team get a win in the month of January until Nick Smith is back. But even with Smith back, they will struggle getting to the tournament.


Miller, Clowney, Griffen and Bradley beg to differ…..all freshmen!

He played basically 2 games on limited practice while not 100%. He is a legit 40% 3 point shooter and light years better than anyone else on this team. With that said, Muss fricked up not recruiting another shooter or two

NSJ doesn’t fix 65% FT and 15 TOs.

Losing him and Brazile is huge but This just isn’t a great team right now and there are plenty of areas to fix.

When has Muss ever recruited shooters? His best shooters have been Isaiah Joe and Mason Jones, who he inherited from Mike Anderson. Notae loved to shoot, but he wasn't a good shooter.

Furthermore, Muss has never recruited much size until this class. All his teams have lacked size and shooting, which isn't a good combination.

Good teams need both. Anyone complaining about the big guys needs to look at how little they have played.

P.S. Good good Alabama! Oats has a great team.

Blame Pio. This never would’ve happened if he started the UGA thread like he promised

I would trade some of these players with the players of the last two teams.

They are athletic but it takes skill to able to score and take over games. Arkansas doesn't have that.

Graham was pretty skilled tonight.

Rebounded and played decent D.

You just can’t convince me he shouldn’t be on the floor right now.

You sure????

He shoots over 80% from the line and gets there so many times a game. So yes, he would absolutely fix that!

Cause he knew his arse would be on the bench for being a "defensive liability".

Arkansas isn't winning games on athleticism by itself. All these teams are athletic but since Arkansas has no offense then they will lose many games.

Graham is the best replacement for Brazile, so I don't know why he hasn't played more?

Bama’s first win in Fayetteville since 2012; best start (13-2) since 06-07.
