Yes, of course it would!
Personally I wasn't expecting that this year though. Not with zero roster to start with, short rotation even before injuries etc.
For the circumstances, Sweet 16 was pretty good, Elite 8 would have been exceptional, and should have been a reality.
Time to find out who's staying, who's leaving and get to putting next year together.

Arkansas scored 14 points in an entire half against us in Columbia.

40 points in 15 minutes of game play is insane. Considering how the game had been going, I mean.


It was 18-9 halfway through the first. Tech was 3/18 FG and 0/7 from 3-Land.

Massive underachieving with all that talent.

I’m not sold on the talent actually being what it was billed as. I just don’t see it. Maybe the team just fit together so poorly that no one could live up to their ranking but nobody really lived up to their ranking.

No show from Pope. Yikes. No roller coaster here, just bad from the start.

Mark Poop couldn’t even get a lead to blow.

His team looked like shite.

Arkansas fans out here praying this as good as it gets with Pope or they’ll never be happy.

Could have been worse, we could have gotten blown out leaving no doubt against an arch rival

It's pretty funny. At least Pope didn't blow the last 30 seconds.

I would rather get blown out than be responsible for the second biggest comeback in Sweet Sixteen history.

I wouldn't, but I get where you're coming from.

Kentucky never got off the bus, for a sweet 16 game against a team they beat twice.
