We can adjust and adapt. I’m not worried.
Teams play out of their minds in big emotional games. This isn’t basketball, it is drama. We will be ok. We can sustain this longer than they can.
All Ark games for Ark have been rock fights so Cal came in and trying to beat us at our own game. Hope Pope adjust b3cause noway Ark continues to shoot like this.
Arkansas isn't playing any harder thsn they usually play.
The problem is, our defense is do bad that they are hitting wide open shots. It's a glorified practice for them.
He’s not coaching the ball into the basket. He’s damn lucky they have somehow hit 9 threes. Otherwise we’d be up 20.
I don’t see it continuing in the second half. Of course they may just start driving it and scoring while we suddenly go cold.
On the plus side we are right where we have been all season long, losing at the half. Hopefully the Hog's adrenaline wears off and they come out flat. Then we can smoke'em.
To be fair, Arkansas has had PLENTY of game with this many open 3s, and they usually would normally average 4/18. It isn't just about the defense. Except for Davis, the Arkansas players are shooting WAY better than they ever would...even when left open.
Sure hope coach figures it out, cause right now doesn’t look like Cal needs any adjustments
No shit Matt. Been saying this shit five times a day. We get it, you’re all knowing.
I don’t think they failed to get up for the game, I think Ark just hit 9 threes in a half when they avg 6 per game. We scored 45 points, that should be enough.
Yep! Arkansas still has to play 7 ranked teams, they ain’t gonna win many more this season. They hit shots they normally don’t hit that half, maybe it balances out in the second half!
They are obviously going under screens and sagging off to keep them out of the paint. Arkansas and Cal have had this game circled All year, it’s all that matters to them. It will be interesting to see if Pope changes his strategy.
Darn quit booing the former Kentucky players. It’s not bothering them at all.
Chill peeps, damn. Still got another 20 mins to play and you all know Pope makes good adjustments at the half. I’d hate to be in a life or death situation with some of you.
Ark played out of their ass’s. See if the can do that for 40 mins.

That and they are hitting shots they don’t hit in warmups
I agree. We have to keep playing like us, they have to keep playing like they haven’t all season.
9 .. on 18 attempts .. can you imagine that prick letting shepherd , Dilly etc etc shoot 18 threes in a half ???
I can’t hate him any more .. just can’t
Perry should not appear in second half
Let amari plays pg and chadler plays some defense when robinson is off
Chadler performs good defence on davis

This crew doesn’t bend under pressure.
I don't understand how we have 3 & 4 year guys and they don't have a clue how to actually play man defense. It is on our staff. Surely to hell they could play a match up zone and be better.
They’re wearing Jax down with him trying to run the point. Why he missed the FTs. Doesn’t bode well
Outside of Davis and Z id make them continue to make shots. I don’t believe Knox Richmond and Wagner will keep it up
If we hit 2 of the 4 free throws we missed, we are up 1. It amazes me how we shoot the 3 at 70% for the game and 50% on free throws.
That's an excuse. Our defense is ass, you can put a white prom dress on it if you want, but our defense is the worst in the SEC and several other conferences. It shouldn't be.
Hogs are just playing good. Got to give them credit. Got to flip the script. We will adjust
Stop turning the ball over to this crappy team and play some defense for once. Can't let Cal have a feel good story tonight.
