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.Quote:

Now it's ark -1.5 again. Perhaps ESPN just made a mistake for a couple hours.
Now THAT is a likely explanation.Quote:

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.Quote:

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.Quote:

Most confounding team I've ever seen.Quote:

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.
This is a big game for us. Lose and we are likely an 8 seed
Ark with 7 players and we getting it handed to us.
Can't hit the broad side of a barn
Hub s defense is killing us
Even I have to admit that's a terrible call against Arky on the Hubbard shot. But all gifts are kindly accepted.
Has been all year; he is lazy on D. It leads to most open 3s when help has to come over.Quote:

This color commentator dude is on my last nerve.
Seems as if we've abandoned defense as our brand.Quote:

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

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

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

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.
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.
+16 now. we refuse to play basketball.
