Fighting Rick Ray's are 15 point dogs today @ UPig

[Coach34]

Huge mountain to climb even as well as we have been playing. This type of game actually fits us better- but their depth is greater than ours fo sho- and being on the road is rough. If we get in foul trouble early- could be a tough day

[TheRef]

Bud Walton has always been a tough place for us to play. I honestly don't see us pulling this one out today, but I would love to be completely wrong on this.

[CadaverDawg]

If Ray wins this one, all bets are off. Nobody thinks we can win today. I would be thoroughly impressed if we even keep it to a single digit loss. Go get em, boys.

[sleepy dawg]

15?? Sh*t! I bet on use at +12... I got screwed.

[PSYCHO(thesis)DEFENSE]

anybody know if qualls is playing?

[Acid mouth]

15?? Sh*t! I bet on use at +12... I got screwed.
I saw it open at Dawgs +12.5 and currently +14.5. Personally, I'd take the Dawgs and the points but Bud Walton is as tough as an arena as it gets. Any degenerate gamblers out there betting our game? Who u got??

[Bully13]

I can't believe we've gotten to the point where our AD wants to give rick another year when I see this:

POINTS PER GAME
62.8 284th OVERALL
REBOUNDS PER GAME
35.5 136th OVERALL
ASSISTS PER GAME
8.6 347th OVERALL
FIELD GOAL PCT
.429 210th OVERALL

Scoring D- 78th
FG D- 121st

We are rebuilding and finally showing progress. This team has overcome early season injuries to its best players. 4-2 in its last 6 games. Enjoy the progress

[HoopsDawg]

Depth is so meaningless in college basketball unless you get in foul trouble.

5-1 with moderately fair officiating in the game at TSUN.

[Quaoarsking]

Is there some kind of yellow filter on the camera?

[smootness]

We have to have more WTF moments than any other team in the country. PG brings it up the court, just sends the ball out of bounds without being touched. In great position for an uncontested defensive rebound, another teammate comes to help and knocks it out of bounds. Look, there's a guy open on the other side of the court; I'm gonna throw it 60 feet out of bounds.

[smootness]

Is there some kind of yellow filter on the camera?

It does look weird. I think it has to do with the in-arena lights, though. You can see them reflected off the court at times, and they're definitely yellow.

[sandwolf]

So is this the game thread? Or is there not a game thread today?

[War Machine Dawg]

If we don't get Chicken and Fred going, we're going to get blown the hell out. Beginning to look like the Curse of The Bud is rearing its head.

[HoopsDawg]

Roq is completely outmanned in this game and Ware can't finish. Sword is going to have to take over b/c we can't score.

Also, if I was D. Houston I would be in the NBA.

[smootness]

We may not need a game thread today. We aren't shooting anything from distance, and everything we shoot near the basket is blocked or at least altered. Looks like it could be a long day.

[Maroonthirteen]

We can't even get a shot off. At least something isn't heavily contested. Long afternoon....

[smootness]

Also, if I was D. Houston I would be in the NBA.

What?

[smootness]

This is awful. We've already lost. We're frustrated and can't get anything going.

[HoopsDawg]

What?

If I had his body and athleticism I would be unstoppable. He is Vince Carter from an athletic and body standpoint. But he has the skills of a 12 year old.

[HoopsDawg]

This is awful. We've already lost. We're frustrated and can't get anything going.

Will we get to 20 points this game?

[mstatefan91]

Getting our asses handed to us

[bluelightstar]

We're losing because we can't make shots, but this is not evenly officiated on some of Arkansas's "blocks."

[Liverpooldawg]

This one is going to get really ugly I'm afraid. That being said we have had really good teams go up there and get steam rolled. This one I won't get too bent out of shape about.

[HoopsDawg]

Getting our asses handed to us

What a terrible break by Ready. He had Houston wide open for a monster dunk and Fred trailing. We have to upgrade our PG.

[smootness]

If I had his body and athleticism I would be unstoppable. He is Vince Carter from an athletic and body standpoint. But he has the skills of a 12 year old.

O....k....

Well, even if you were somehow this unstoppable force of a basketball player, you wouldn't be in the NBA at this point in his basketball career. It's impossible.

[bluelightstar]

They just won't calm down. I don't understand. We're doing everything too fast.

[mstatefan91]

The officiating is sub part but we aren't hitting shots anyway

[HoopsDawg]

O....k....

Well, even if you were somehow this unstoppable force of a basketball player, you wouldn't be in the NBA at this point in his basketball career. It's impossible.

damn dude. Relax, don't take it so literal.

[Maroonthirteen]

They are tight and scared s**tless. Gosh it is so difficult wearing the maroon.

[Maroonthirteen]

Ark is about to turn up the defense even more.....to keep us in single digits.

[bluelightstar]

It's really not evenly officiated at all.

[Maroonthirteen]

Good gosh the game of basketball..... One second they can slap each other, wrestle and push.... Then a graze of a finger tip is a foul.

[smootness]

damn dude. Relax, don't take it so literal.

Haha ok. It's obviously not a big deal, but, 'If I was D. Houston I would be in the NBA,' or even, 'D. Houston should be in the NBA' makes no sense.

[rcsteph1]

Wow this is ugly. Looks like a mismatched high school game so far

[mstatefan91]

We got a point. Make it two!

[Rayburn8]

My fault. Haven't score since I turned on the TV. We had 7 when I did.

[bluelightstar]

I am so annoyed with this team today.

[preachermatt83]

so we gonna have SINGLE DIGITS at the break??? WOW!! #KeepRay # Heisawesome

[Rayburn8]

Look at it this way, we are only seven threes away from a tie game.

[JOHNHEVESYMADE]

You can't tell me that if we play like this for the rest of the season ray will get another year. We look like we did in December. I didn't expect us to win but I didn't think we'd throw up 9 points in a half either.

[Maroonthirteen]

2 fgs all half. None in last 14 minutes. Only Mississippi State....only.... Have a good day gentlemen.

[bluelightstar]

9 points in the half. 2 field goals. 12 turnovers. I'm disgusted.

[Coach34]

Stands lost by 50 to Bammer once- some days just suck. This is one

[bluelightstar]

Stands lost by 50 to Bammer once- some days just suck. This is one

Stansbury had a track record at least. This is the fewest points we've scored in a half since the last time a Rick Ray team did it. (10 pts. vs Missouri in 2013).

[preachermatt83]

Stands lost by 50 to Bammer once- some days just suck. This is one

stands sucked too. He should have been fired. That has NOTHING to do with Rick Ray. Why do some of you guys bring Stands up every chance you get. He should never be mentioned. He should have been fired and he was.. END OF STORY. NOW its Rick ray, and it's time for him to be fired.

[smootness]

You can't tell me that if we play like this for the rest of the season ray will get another year. We look like we did in December. I didn't expect us to win but I didn't think we'd throw up 9 points in a half either.

Obviously if we score single digits every half the rest of the year, things may change.

But why don't we just wait to see what happens? I'm so sick of the people showing up in droves then going silent depending on how the team is playing. When we're terrible, the same people show up (who were silent when we were playing well) and say it's time for Ray to go. When we look good, the same people talk about giving Ray more time.

Let's just see how it plays out. We can talk about how good or bad we look on a given day without it having to be a referendum that moment on Ray.

[thedawg]

Some of u are tittie babies... I mean really? We have been playing good basketball.. Winning SEC road games and now today we are having a bad day...

[Bigedawg]

A historically bad day. That would be a futile half for a 5 year old upward team.

[Coach34]

This team is not a good offensive team- this isnt a surprise

[bluelightstar]

This team is not a good offensive team- this isnt a surprise

If we are at a point where 9 points in a half "isnt a surprise" we've got issues.

[RougeDawg]

This. I think a junior high could score at least 9 points in 20 minutes against Arkansas. This is pathetic.

[Liverpooldawg]

If we are at a point where 9 points in a half "isnt a surprise" we've got issues.

We have issues.

[DownwardDawg]

I watched the 1st half. This is the 1st game I've tried to watch in 2 years. We look worse than I imagined from reading this board. I thought we wouldn't be as bad as you guys make it sound. I was wrong.

[RougeDawg]

Today's game has erased all positive thoughts I had gathered during the past two weeks. This is our team. The last couple weeks we have just played well above our means.

[Coach34]

We always get a blocking foul- other teams always get a charge

[HoopsDawg]

This team is not a good offensive team- this isnt a surprise

9 points in a half is a surprise. That's incredible.

[TheDogFather]

Believe it, cause he's going to get it.

The only thing worse are the throngs of people who are enthusiastic about it.

That was the worst first half of basketball we've ever played. Ever. In 100 years. We made TWO field goals. I'm back to wanting Ray gone.

9 points. 2 FG's. 14 turnovers. 0 3 pointers made. Brutal.

Arkansas 452 blocks. **** Ray. His lack of offense is offensive.
