The Official Boar-Slaughtering Game Thread

[jdb50]

So I doubt AD David Benedict will be surprised by thousands of empty seats.

 

[Horatio]

Actually they seem to be playing team ball, their guards are playing with their bigs, and they are having fun. We look lost and beat up and worse like we have quit.

Their also a more physically mature team and they don't miss

 

[RayIsTheGOAT]

We are about seven thousand miles away from the last few teams who will make it to the tournament.

 

[CardiacAndre7]

Ollie should humiliate this team on national TV and sit everyone but Vital and insert a supporting cast.

Maybe Ollie should sub himself out.

 

[jayteeman]

I feel bad for anyone who thought they were gonna showcase their talents for the next level in front of the entire nation on a holiday weekend.

 

[ccsuphanner]

Are we going to lose this game by 30 points..?

 

[WlfdHusky]

Team's body language looks like their minds are on the return flight already.

They looked like that 5 minutes into the game

 

[Doctor Hoop]

Bleccch!

 

[ZackB05]

lol why do you think kids transferred? Ollie isn't some mr. nice guy. the problem is that he has no credibility.

Credibility? Please elaborate. The guy played in the NBA for over ten years. There were credible rumors people had some interest in hiring him for an nba job a couple years back. There's no doubt the guy knows basketball.

I don't think any player left because he was chewed out too much. Jackson left because he wanted to be he man. Enoch and Durham barely played.

 

[jibsey]

Maybe its talent and effort

 

[August_West]

Here’s the thing with KO. Can we give him the season?
I’m a Ollie guy but another year like last year and I will be on board looking too.

But let’s be real for a second. He’s not getting fired during the season. He’s here until the end.

So knowing that let’s see what happens. A lot of time left. A lot of new players.

This effort today is pathetic

 

[ASweet3781]

I was kinda gonna wait til March to write this but...

Ollie is over his head. I just don't see it.

I think most of us have had to regrettably face this thought the last year. For me it was when I listened to his podcast in the off season with Jon Rothstein. Even in a relaxed setting every answer he gave felt canned, rehearsed...nothing genuine or spontaneous. "This great university..." "I need a level 5 effort...". After listening to the half hour interview I felt I learned nothing about our team or Ollie.

 

[CL82]

Seriously, did Ollie sleep with the ref's daughter something. They are allowing so much contact for Arkansas on their drives but calling it against us

 

[Hamms30]

We foul entirely to much under the guise of "tight d" Although this game looks completely lopsided by the referees... that offense foul on Anderson was an awful call

 

[uchusky32]

Can't shot can't win. Team will get better but we dowe dont have anyone with s competitive motor.

 

[Forte]

this is as bad as I've ever seen this team play ... ever... and it's not like we are playing ville.

 

[UConnDan97]

DO trying to rally the troops...

 

[HooperScooper]

This is embarrassing. It's tough to watch.

 

[UconnFanDC]

I started swearing for the 1st time today!!!! Disgusted and embarrassed

 

[Tenspro2002]

What Arkansas is doing to us is what we used to do to teams like Arkansas.

Remember the 2nd round game in 2009 when we beat #9 seed Texas A&M by 26?

A #9 seed is about the level of this Arkansas team.

Nope, JMick is right. They were all going to get a ton of time, playing time had nothing to do with it.

 

[Kitaman]

Damn 10 minutes left and I'm still watching. I'm must love this horrific shiat.

 

[UCDaveD]

There were credible rumors people had some interest in hiring him for an nba job a couple years back.

Those people dodged a bullet.

 

[BugsyCT]

This is much worse that the MSU game. At least we put up a fight for awhile against a very good team. Total dumpster fire tonight.

 

[Blue Huskie]

So we can play MSU tough into the 2nd half but we come out and lay an egg against these guys? Can't say I'm surprised unfortunately.

 

[JMick]

he's just a complete fraud. doesn't practice what he preaches

 

[Horatio]

We can't shoot open look three's.

 

[Kitaman]

Nice move by that Arkansas guy

 

[Kitaman]

How they hell do they practice this week? What do they work on?

 

[Tommyboy]

This is just pathetic. How can we possibly defend the coaches st this point? Arkansas is completely dominating every aspect of the game.
