MBK vs ark line flip

[msstate7]

I refuse to get excited about this game, but the line is weird. It opened at ark -1.5, which is expected. Now it's state -1.5. WTH

That makes no sense. I maybe could've bought us opening as the favorite with Thiero still out but not the flip.

[RezDog7]

I expect to lose by double digits.

[msstate7]

Now it's ark -1.5 again. Perhaps ESPN just made a mistake for a couple hours.

[EdwardDrayton]

Now it's ark -1.5 again. Perhaps ESPN just made a mistake for a couple hours.

Now THAT is a likely explanation.

[msstate7]

Now THAT is a likely explanation.

That's a hell of a mistake though when you can place bets on the site (not in MS).

If it were me I'd take the hogs. But I hope to be wrong

[msstate7]

If it were me I'd take the hogs. But I hope to be wrong

I think ark at anything under 5 pts is free money. I hope to be wrong too

[EdwardDrayton]

That's a hell of a mistake though when you can place bets on the site (not in MS).

Yes it is but would not surprise me given it's ESPN.

[EdwardDrayton]

I think ark at anything under 5 pts is free money. I hope to be wrong too

Agree. And want to be wrong as well.

[klong-dog]

Yep, Arkansas will beat us by 12. 75-63 ish.

[MoreCowbell]

I think ark at anything under 5 pts is free money. I hope to be wrong too

This is a game we win- Right after we all hop off the wagon and have been saying for weeks now we will not win this game at Ark but will have won Texas. We will win tomorrow over a below average team at their place, but because we were not expecting it we kinda feel like it was a good road win and needed headed into SECT. We will scrape by SECT first round then get blown out second.

We go into NCAAT nervous but hopeful because we are higher seed and it is time to win a tourney game for State. We then will lose to higher seeded team in a frustrating game where we cannot put them away at points in the game and thus lose because other team shoots 44% from 3.

Yep, Arkansas will beat us by 12. 75-63 ish. I think it will be close. State plays better on the road even though I do not understand why State plays better on the road. It is like wiping before you poop. It does not make sense.

[StarkVegasSteve]

I think ark at anything under 5 pts is free money. I hope to be wrong too

We play better on the road honestly. And as we saw last Saturday, if we can jump on them early, they will roll over and die pretty quickly. I also think the pressure is off them as they are probably in the tournament at this point.

I wanna believe, but our defense has been atrious lately.

[basedog]

This game is iffy for us, we could squeak a win or get blown out. It's weird to watch us as we look energized at times and dead tired at times. I just don't think this team chemistry is very good, jealously creates problems.

Most confounding team I've ever seen.

[msstate7]

The last time this season I felt this defeated, we won at OM. I will take the same approach today and not watch.

[RezDog7]

Yeah, I hate being this negative but the only consistent thing about this team is inconsistency. A&M was the only complete game we've played.

[Coach34]

This is a big game for us. Lose and we are likely an 8 seed

[R2Dawg]

Ark with 7 players and we getting it handed to us.

[R2Dawg]

Can't hit the broad side of a barn

[tcdog70]

Hub s defense is killing us

[EdwardDrayton]

Even I have to admit that's a terrible call against Arky on the Hubbard shot. But all gifts are kindly accepted.

[R2Dawg]

Hub s defense is killing us

Has been all year; he is lazy on D. It leads to most open 3s when help has to come over.

[R2Dawg]

Strong move by Harris

[R2Dawg]

Defense sucks; we'd be up big if we play some.

[EdwardDrayton]

This color commentator dude is on my last nerve.

[EdwardDrayton]

Has been all year; he is lazy on D. It leads to most open 3s when help has to come over.

Seems as if we've abandoned defense as our brand.

[msstate7]

Looking like we peaked waaaaayyy too early this season. It also looks like mizzou did too... they're sorta falling apart

[msstate7]

Seems as if we've abandoned defense as our brand.

I have a feeling we will put a premium on D in the portal this offseason.

[EdwardDrayton]

Good thing Thiero is not playing. Game probably will hinge on who can stay out of further foul trouble the most.

[EdwardDrayton]

Looking like we peaked waaaaayyy too early this season. It also looks like mizzou did too... they're sorta falling apart

No doubt. Mizzou has gone off the rails since the Alabama win.

[PGHBulldogBG]

Losing 4 of the last 5 is a bad look going into the tournament and last year we lost the final 5

[Bdawg]

Everything about the 3 point line and our basketball team sucks

[EdwardDrayton]

Everything about the 3 point line and our basketball team sucks

We steadfastly persist nonetheless, so we got that going for us. *****

[Lord McBuckethead]

We are just not a good basketball team when measured against real good teams.
We have given them a +13 difference coming out at half.

We just are not good. Calipari will continue to punk us.

[Lord McBuckethead]

For the 200th time this season, the team we play kick it out and then we close out late on the 2nd pass. Drains the 3.

[StarkVegasSteve]

This team is unfortunately finished. We will probably end up either a 9 or 10 seed and lose in the 1st round. Just a really disappointing finish to the season.

[Lord McBuckethead]

+16 now. we refuse to play basketball.

[Lord McBuckethead]

This team is unfortunately finished. We will probably end up either a 9 or 10 seed and lose in the 1st round. Just a really disappointing finish to the season.

No doubt. we are a first weekend team. We just are not good at offense or defense. Its our entire scheme and our execution. I have zero faith we will win a single game in the tourney.

[EdwardDrayton]

Not over yet but this truly is embarrassing.

[CaptainObvious]

Really good Arkansas team. They may be the best team in the SEC and maybe in the entire country!!! Our pipsqueaks are way out matched by these professionals. Arkansas could be in the NBA! They are THAT good!

Did I do that right?

[Lord McBuckethead]

Alright. Can we play defense? Damn.

[civildawg]

Jans continuing to show how average he is. I honestly hope he leaves. He's done a terrible job with this team.

[StarkVegasSteve]

I gave Jans a B in coaching and our team a D for defense in my report card. I will go down a letter on both. This has been his worst coaching job since he has been here. We are again going to let a team score 80+ on us. It has happened 11 times this year. That happened 9 times in the previous two years combined.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Not over yet but this truly is embarrassing.

Its over. Hold up. Our first stop of the entire second half.

[Turfdawg67]

We are MS Stake…

[Lord McBuckethead]

Every single game, we run into a RAT.
Why? Because we are not good.

[R2Dawg]

We are just terrible. Not a tourney team at all. Bottom feeder in SEC. We going to lose 4 in row to close season. We had what 2 decent wins all year and then 2 from OM. That is it.

[basedog]

They have just quit. Sad to watch.

[StarkVegasSteve]

Jans continuing to show how average he is. I honestly hope he leaves. He's done a terrible job with this team.

If he leaves: Hubbard leaves, Warren leaves, and Murphy leaves.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Jans continuing to show how average he is. I honestly hope he leaves. He's done a terrible job with this team.

I want Calipari. I hate the guy, but dammit I want a team that can make it to the 2nd weekend of the tourney.

[R2Dawg]

80% shooting by Ark in second

[civildawg]

And? I mean those guys are the ones letting Arkansas take it to them and under .500 in sec play.

[EdwardDrayton]

That's gotta be Cam's third attempt at least from three??!!!?? Does Jans have any control of this team left??!!??

[Lord McBuckethead]

Can we for once tighten up the defense on 3. Like get in their jock. I don't care if we give up drives.

[R2Dawg]

I want Calipari. I hate the guy, but dammit I want a team that can make it to the 2nd weekend of the tourney.

That ain't been Cal lately.

[Lord McBuckethead]

That's gotta be Cam's third attempt at least from three??!!!?? Does Jans have any control of this team left??!!??

That was Kugal.

[R2Dawg]

That's gotta be Cam's third attempt at least from three??!!!?? Does Jans have any control of this team left??!!??

No, He lost this team a month ago.

[Lord McBuckethead]

That ain't been Cal lately.

Still whipping our ass. Mark my words, we won't beat Ark until he leaves.

[R2Dawg]

They have just quit. Sad to watch.

We ain't played with a give a shit in a month.

[Lord McBuckethead]

No, He lost this team a month ago.

The day we got sprayed in the face by Missouri.

[R2Dawg]

Still whipping our ass. Mark my words, we won't beat Ark until he leaves.

May be but that wasn't your argument - 2nd weekend of tourney Cal. That is why UK canned him.

[R2Dawg]

The day we got sprayed in the face by Missouri.

Sure seemed like it.

[StarkVegasSteve]

Jans is going to have to get really uncomfortable this offseason because he is going to need to fire some assts that have been with him for a long time. Our scouting is terrible, our recruiting is in need of an overhaul since we still have not recruited a knock down shooter in 3 years, and our defense has been downright god awful this year.

[StarkVegasSteve]

The day we got sprayed in the face by Missouri.

It was the Kentucky game. Just like last year. We have not been right since.

[StarkVegasSteve]

We give Kugel a lot of crap, and most of it is deserved, but at least he will attack the basket. Everyone else just seems scared shitless. Heck that is the only reason Matthews needs to be playing other than defense.

[EdwardDrayton]

That was Kugal.

It was Cam and was his third three attempt of the game.

[Bdawg]

Every single game, we run into a RAT.
Why? Because we are not good.

Exactly. I know what RAT means but what is the acronym stand for? I forget.

[StarkVegasSteve]

It was Cam and was his third three attempt of the game.

It was Cam. He has been terrible since about January. He really does not need to be playing anymore. Unfortunately, he has to unless we want to play Jones 35 minutes.

[EdwardDrayton]

Jans is going to have to get really uncomfortable this offseason because he is going to need to fire some assts that have been with him for a long time. Our scouting is terrible, our recruiting is in need of an overhaul since we still have not recruited a knock down shooter in 3 years, and our defense has been downright god awful this year.

Zac needs to create some tension with this staff including the head coach.

[Bdawg]

We give Kugel a lot of crap, and most of it is deserved, but at least he will attack the basket. Everyone else just seems scared shitless. Heck that is the only reason Matthews needs to be playing other than defense.

I mostly see drive halfway to the basket, pickup the dribble, pivot around, and kick out and start over. And now we on an 11-0 run! Ha. Let’s see if we can steal one.

[Lord McBuckethead]

They have made a push. But it won't last. On the road. Ark is about to put it away.

[R2Dawg]

It was Cam. He has been terrible since about January. He really does not need to be playing anymore. Unfortunately, he has to unless we want to play Jones 35 minutes.

Yeah I don't know what happened to Cam. He would dominate every game now he just disappears on both ends much of the game.

[R2Dawg]

They have made a push. But it won't last. On the road. Ark is about to put it away.

Probably what happens. That 3 by Harris was huge for a chance.

[R2Dawg]

We ain't won a game when other team scores 85 so don't look good.

[R2Dawg]

Just like that Cam shows up

[parabrave]

At least we remembered how to play defense.

[Lord McBuckethead]

that was not a foul

[R2Dawg]

We missed like 3 FT in a row.

[Lord McBuckethead]

2 minutes left. who wants it?
I want Kugal to shoot the ball, if we are taking a jumper

[parabrave]

Big shot Melendez.

[R2Dawg]

Can we finish?

[Lord McBuckethead]

1:23 left. Who wants it more?

[Lord McBuckethead]

They drain the last what feels like 10 free throws. We need to hit some.

[R2Dawg]

Probably ballgame

[Lord McBuckethead]

They should get an open look coming out of this timeout. That is Coach Cal does. Hope they miss and we get the rebound.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Whoever takes the lead next is probably going to win. We will see.

[EdwardDrayton]

89 points allowed. <sigh>

'The Dentist' nickname is hereby suspended until further notice.

[R2Dawg]

Ballgame. We are so cursed as a program.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Not much you can do about that one. Great shot and good defense.

[Quaoarsking]

Does anyone ever miss a big shot against us?

[parabrave]

Jeez/

[Lord McBuckethead]

Alright. Got to be a clean look at 3 or a quick 2.

[parabrave]

Big shot there Hubbard.

[Lord McBuckethead]

That was a big time shot as well. 2-13 heading into that shot. Hubbard buries it.

[Lord McBuckethead]

If we play this right, we get the ball last. Let's do it. Dagger to win it. Let's go. One steal away, one tipped ball, one block. Lets go.

[R2Dawg]

Get a gift miss and can't get a RB

[Lord McBuckethead]

Wow, gave up an open layup, and then didn't rebound. Damn.

[parabrave]

Dam ref just give them another free TO/

[Bdawg]

Shot clock gives them free timeout

[R2Dawg]

They win on last shot or we lose in OT.

Only thing in OT is Hogs in foul trouble, need to foul them out if we get OT

[R2Dawg]

Now we still got a shot.

[Lord McBuckethead]

We have an opportunity, just get the stop first. Go man to man.

[parabrave]

Well they gave us more time on the game shot where we get the last shot.

[parabrave]

Good foul/

[Lord McBuckethead]

One opportunity. Lets see.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Wow. Missed a point blank shot. Open for the win.

[parabrave]

Why didn't Hubb take the final Shot.

[mparkerfd20]

**** this team

[R2Dawg]

Suck ass ending. Kugell never should have had the ball. Hubbard shot or dish for the win.

[Quaoarsking]

Cam Matthews was 8-10 in all 5 of his seasons.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Well they actually surprised me.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Suck ass ending. Kugell never should have had the ball. Hubbard shot or dish for the win.

I didn't mind kugell having the rock there. hubbard was covered up obviously. You have to drive and look for an open shot.

[Dawgology]

This team is toast in the first round of the NCAA tourney. Loss by 15+ whoever we play. They are cooked

[EdwardDrayton]

We played true to form for the latter part of the season.

[AROB44]

This team is toast in the first round of the NCAA tourney. Loss by 15+ whoever we play. They are cooked

Love how our "fans" back our teams.

[StarkVegasSteve]

If we would not have dug ourselves such a damn hole, we win that one easily.

[CaptainObvious]

I didn't mind kugell having the rock there. hubbard was covered up obviously. You have to drive and look for an open shot.

I think if you look back on games where we lost on a missed shot at the buzzer, Kugel was the one trying to win it. He has a "I want to be the hero" Gene in him.

[PGHBulldogBG]

I?ve kind of just accepted that we will check the box that we made the tournament again. It definitely is better than we are used to but we just spiral at the end of the year and that is concerning. The Texas loss was just horrible at home and that should not have happened.

[maroonmania]

I've come to despise basketball. Refs give them 2 free throws for the win on a non-foul foul and then we have a point blank shot for the win at the buzzer and miss. Just another massive gut punch to follow up the Texas game.

[Dawgology]

Love how our "fans" back our teams.

Meh. They are entertainment. At some point all the losses and letdowns in every program becomes not entertaining. Mismanagement, lack luster recruiting, etc. meh.

[EdwardDrayton]

If we would not have dug ourselves such a damn hole, we win that one easily.

Yup. We looked almost lifeless until deep in the second half.

[Goldendawg]

Suck ass ending. Kugell never should have had the ball. Hubbard shot or dish for the win.

I disagree, tough way to lose it but Hubbard was 4-14 in this game as usual with his volume shooting. He is also a tremendous disability on defense and big reason we give up about 90 points a game. You cannot tell me that there is not dissension on this team as he has taken over 100 more shots than the next closest player. We are now 6-10 in our last 16 games and don't look like they even enjoy playing together. I can't blame them with a scheme of Hubbard being the center of the offense and getting his win or lose, with most of them losses recently.

[msstate7]

This team is toast in the first round of the NCAA tourney. Loss by 15+ whoever we play. They are cooked

Bold prediction... I'll take us +10 for $100

[EdwardDrayton]

Love how our "fans" back our teams.

Fans are allowed to be dissatisfied with their team's performance, especially when it's become a pattern and is happening against inferior teams like today. It doesn't make them lesser fans.

[maroonmania]

We can't beat Calipari anyway.

True about Hubb from 3 but when he drives he almost always get the basket or fouled and he is dam near perfect from the foul line. Still those shots should have been made.

[maroonmania]

We finished the year losing to OK, TX and Ark and 4 of the final 4 SEC games. Are the fans supposed to be throwing out compliments?

[EdwardDrayton]

If we had opened the second half with any kind of energy at all, we probably win handily. One of the most confounding teams we've ever had. Very frustrating.

[msstate7]

We finished the year losing to OK, TX and Ark and 4 of the final 4 SEC games. Are the fans supposed to be throwing out compliments?

I don't see anyone throwing out compliments, but "we will lose by 15+ guaranteed" seems extreme. Those 3 losses are by 13 combined

[EdwardDrayton]

I don't see anyone throwing out compliments, but "we will lose by 15+ guaranteed" seems extreme. Those 3 losses are by 13 combined

Yes that was extreme but understand the frustration from which it emanates.

[chef dixon]

Those 3 losses are against the caliber teams we are going to face round 1. Our luck will flip at some point I hope

[maroonmania]

I don't see anyone throwing out compliments, but "we will lose by 15+ guaranteed" seems extreme. Those 3 losses are by 13 combined

Whatever, we also won some close games. Bottom line is we finished 6-10 in our last 16 games and only 2-10 against anyone not named OM or SC. Just a very disappointing season given what this team could have done.

I do agree folks saying we will lose by 15+ is extreme. I missed the comment.

[Dawgology]

I don't see anyone throwing out compliments, but "we will lose by 15+ guaranteed" seems extreme. Those 3 losses are by 13 combined

Is it extreme? We will probably be a 10 - 12 seed meaning we will play against 5-7 seed. On a neutral floor. We will get stomped per usual. If Lunardi’s predictions are close we will be in Indianapolis probably playing Clemson, Marquette or UCLA. We will get beat handily.

Hubbard draws a double team and someone is open or he can hit the big shot. He just hit the big 3 on previous shot to put us ahead. I don't care if Hub had a bad shooting night, he is the guy.

The team losses are just that team - no one has played well all year. If not for Hub late season, we'd been embarrassed several more times.

[R2Dawg]

4-10 not OM or SC

Should have beat UK, Bama and TX at home and OK and Ark on road. That is 5 more wins. Do that and we feel pretty good about year. Just 3 of those games and we feel good.

[msstate7]

4-10 not OM or SC

Going by current standings...
1-4: 0-5
5-8: 3-2
9-12: 2-1
13-16: 3-2

[maroonmania]

4-10 not OM or SC

Should have beat UK, Bama and TX at home and OK and Ark on road. That is 5 more wins. Do that and we feel pretty good about year. Just 3 of those games and we feel good.

We are 6-10 in our last 16 SEC games. But yea, it's technically 3-10 against anyone other than OM or SC because one of our wins against SC was in our first two conference game of the year. And yes, there are other wins we could have had but other losses as well. We won @ GA by 1, @ SC in OT,, OM at home in OT.. We had actually been good in the really tight ones in conference until the last two. But we don't really make any big shots or FTs at the end of games to win. The close ones we've won we had a lead and were trying to hold on at the end.

[CarolinaDawgs]

Anybody wanna take a guess at the 3pt % for Ark?? If you guess below 40% you need help.

[msstate7]

Anybody wanna take a guess at the 3pt % for Ark?? If you guess below 40% you need help.

No idea why we stink so bad at defending 3s, but I'm gonna chalk it up to bad season. Last year, we were #1 defending the 3 in the sec, and we were 6th two seasons ago. For whatever reason, we are horrible at this season, but I will say it has to some luck for our opponents. I've said it over and over, but I will again... I watch 80% of grizzlies games, and nba teams don't hit open 3s anywhere close to the level they hit vs us.

[PGHBulldogBG]

I am trying to just do a reset. It ended bad but let?s look at this realistically. We were picked 10th in the SEC preseason and the biggest bubble team. We are a lock and finished 10th. Let?s see how things play out come tournament time. I really hope we get Houston as our 1 seed because UF Duke and Auburn would be nightmares. At least Houston isn?t a good shooting team compared to the rest and could give us a small chance

I would be thrilled with just finishing with the following...

Beat lsu and Missouri
Win 1 game and don't be embarrassed in round 2

[Goldendawg]

4-10 not OM or SC

Should have beat UK, Bama and TX at home and OK and Ark on road. That is 5 more wins. Do that and we feel pretty good about year. Just 3 of those games and we feel good.

Our last three losses of our four game losing streak have been to OK, TX and AR who were at the time very low in the SEC standings and we were favored in all three I think. I sit on row four with a friend looking at the goal at home games. Hubbard can't help being about 5'!0" but he is usually a real mismatch on "D" which contributes to us giving up about 90 or so per game recently. Someone posted his shooting % in the last 8 or so games and it hasn't been good in the majority. I feel the lack of a point guard and him having to play it is also bad. He should be the two, shooting guard. It is what it is.

[Goldendawg]

If he leaves: Hubbard leaves, Warren leaves, and Murphy leaves.

I want Jans and all three of these players back next year, all of these leaving and continuing to build around Hubbard forced to play out of position at point guard and being stubborn with the same doomed defensive scheme doubling the post and being about last defending the three in all the NCAA would bring about the same results no matter what college where the four of them were hypothetically together. Yes, I remember the Rick Ray disaster, but we are now 8-10 in the SEC regular season for three consecutive years under Jans with Howland's guys year one and two or so and now his revamped portal bunch with a few holdovers this season. Only winning the first game in the NCAA will show improvement or maybe even two games here in year three. Maybe this team was over rated. Kugel and Melendez weren't the 3 point shooters to take pressure off Hubbard and Clary may well have been a bad fit at State just as he was at Penn State(?). 6-10 last 16 games and recently giving up 90 ppg or so? Something is wrong with this "team". JMO.

None of that is wrong. No one is wrong to think that Jans has done a bad job this year. I think if you asked him he'd say the same thing. But here's the facts, from 2008-2019 we made the tournament twice. And would've only made it once had it not been for a miracle run through the SEC tournament. We lost both times in the first round. We haven't won a game in the tournament since Charles Rhodes erupted on Oregon in March of 08. We are about to make our 3rd straight tournament, something we haven't done since we made 4 straight from 01-02 to 04-05. It's ok to be ticked off with how we ended the season. It's ok to want more. You should as a fan base. But it also needs to be said that we're a hell of a lot better and more consistent than we've been in a very long time.
