Arkansas beat Michigan
- Thread starter MathUK
- Start date
Just saw the highlights and on one of Michigan's final possessions, their big guy got it in the lane and took 4 or 5 steps with no call. Officiating is garbage.
That improves the SEC to 5-7 vs B10 this year, with 6 games remaining.
Who cares? No one cares who Arkansas plays or who they lose to or beat. Really no one cares .
Arkansas almost completed their meltdown at the end. They were up 76-60 with about 11 minutes to go. The pigs only scored 13 points the rest of the way. Michigan only ended up losing by 2.
Cal needed Fland to make huge plays most of the game. Arkansas won't make it past Sweet Sixteen.

Stop me if you’ve heard this one before-
An uber talented Calipari coached team sprints out to a huge early lead and is cruising just after halftime, but for some reason, they slow the pace way down and try to milk the clock. They begin to tense up, miss a wheelbarrow full of free throws, and grind further until the score ties up. They require a couple of hero plays late to stave off the comeback victory.
Sounds vaguely familiar.

I care.
It’s an interesting story to follow. Especially when UK isn’t playing.
Lighten up, Francis.
They were down double digits in the first half too. Man, we would've been pulling our hair out this season.
Cal is overrated now for sure. Dusty? Remains to be seen. He's 8-2 at UM so far. Not an awful start.
The 3 times I’ve seen them Davis has been surprisingly bad. And Fland is their best player, he or Theiro leads in scoring. He took 18 shots last night.
I think their biggest problem, like many Cal teams is they don’t shoot well enough from outside. Don’t count on 2-3 (and a big toe away from 3-4) from Wagner often. Ivisic is their best shooter but is losing minutes now that Aidou is healthier.
The first 2 games I saw, I was surprised that I liked Richmond’s game (except he can’t shoot either), but he only played 1 min last night. But he defends well, plays hard, and can finish.
They will be middle of the pack SEC, which this year isn’t bad, so 2nd round team who could make S16 or 1st rnd loss
This! We’re literally watching Back to the Future in real time with this Arkansas team. This would have been our team in Lexington as opposed to what we have. It’s human nature to be fascinated by the “alternate reality” subplot.
You care enough to post about it. So do a number of the rest of us. If no one cared, no one would post about it.
So, if you didn’t care, why would you post anything? Do you need to control what other people do and think? What motivates you to comment on something you claim not to care about?
Seen this before. Look great one game, get beat by a crap team the next.
Arkansas looked pretty good at times last night. They were on fire from the outside and they needed every one of them.
Michigan had a nice comeback, but made some crucial mistakes at the end.
It was a fun game to watch.
For whatever reason, the SEC is struggling with the BIG10, so that kind of helped some. I think it's 5 games to 7 in favor of the BIG.
Note: I know, I know, some of you don't care about conference results, but I do and we should, because the stronger the SEC is in the metrics, the stronger our metrics will be in March. It matters.

Is that right? I thought the SEC had a winning record against every league this year...only 5-7 against the bigten?
How about Wagner scoring 16pts. I want Cal to continue to push Wagner so he can get a G League contract
Look if you're not playing some zone against Arkansas you're helping them win. 100,000%.
Believe me Michigan was helping them win by not playing zone more.
Cuz all they do is try to drive the ball to the basket because they can't shoot.
They won that game last night because DJ Wagner actually hit a three-pointer or two second half. Literally his little 10-point burst in the second half the difference in that game.
Im Sure we can count on one hand the times that will happen this season. If you're relying on DJ Wagner you're ****ing screwed. And if you're allowing DJ Wagner to score points you ****ing suck. Go look at what some of these defensive players have done to him this year......
