Arkansas Post Game Thread

[HuskyBaggins]

The irony of the shot quality theory is that Dan Hurley/staff/our guys game planned and scouted their team..We gave Arkansas the shots-- certain shots --because our scout revealed that's how we beat these guys. And yet.. Shot Quality gurus say that if Arkansas made the high quality shots they were given.. They should have won the game..

We won..

And the shots that Arkansas got were NOT good shots. They were almost all contested, and the closer to the basket, the more contested. Mid range jumpers are some of the toughest shots in the game. Ironic that the announcers were talking about the extremely high level of difficulty on the shots Arkansas was getting, yet SQ claims they were good shots Arkansas should have made. Its one or the other, it can't be both.

This is... something

They had a follow up explaining it.

UConn had better quality shots.

Bama had more possessions.

Flawed as UConn had a number of TOS after the score had ballooned to nearly thirty. 8-4 Arkansas advantage there after UConn was up 29. So only 3 fewer tos.

Also though they had 9 more shots they outshot UConn 5-2 with the 10-15 players out there. So actually only 6 more shots.

Also 4-2 advantage with bench players in (last 3 mins). So only 4 extra FTs.

I’d imagine if you went back and looked at all those numbers from before UConn went up 29 UConn would be even more advantageous.

Looks like Jayhawk fans are glad they didn't have to play us. From the Kansas board, rockchalk.com . . .

You mean the players that were instructed to just run the clock?

What a game - if these last few games don't prove Dan Hurley can plan and execute with this team I don't know what will. The guys were awesome, Arkansas tried hard to disrupt and it worked... for a minute.

Just watched the UCLA/Zags game and the Zags seem a bit like our team so should be an interesting game. !!!
