Message: [QUOTE="JellyBean, post: 4547614, member: 1997"] What I think is happening in Fayetteville is, the players are getting out played. Plus, I think Coach Neighbors hit the nail on the head, I think after the shocking loss to Vandy a few games back. There is a lack of confidence amongst the team. The players don't have confidence in their shooting even though they spend a great amount of time shooting the ball. We all know that the staple of Coach Neighbors teams is the three-point shot. Right now, over the last six games, Arkansas three-point shooting is 22% (38/170). Not good. Plus, if you watched Arkansas at all this season, they are not ball sharing team. You mentioned Samara, MaKayla, Saylor, Jersey, and Sasha. Solid talents indeed but it is a rough core. There are games when I am watching and the players are forcing shots. Samara is a great example. I have not watched the MSU game yet, but I will. But in the games that I have watched, Samara will be on a fastbreak and it is 1 v 2 and just throw up a shot! Not to just pick on Samara. MaKayla does the same thing. Or when they are in their secondary break actions or offensive sets, players are wide open and either they don't like the player or the player smells bad, they don't even look to pass to the open player. It is like, I see you on the wing/deep corner on that left side, but I am going to pass the ball over to the right side where there is a pack of defensive players and hope that the ball does not get picked off. But Arkansas has Texas A&M next up. Hopefully Arkansas beats them. We will see. [/QUOTE]
