My concern about many UK fans (UK-Ark)

[CatsFanIL]

Post 79. You're trying to justify your belief that Arkansas could be one of those teams that surges after one if their better players goes down, because other players will get more chances.

Then, after they beat Georgia at home, you doubled down on it in post 79 (shown below) and refused to consider the opponent.

I was trying to get you to understanfld that out of the 6 games they had played, UGA at home was by far their easiest game. Now they just lost one that was even easier.

So, without further ado, here is the proof you asked for. You are literally trying to argue that Arkansas is better without Fland, because they beat a bad Georgia team at home. Enjoy.

Post 79:

Not really sure what you're arguing at this point - so you're saying that Arkansas is clearly worse without Boogie, correct?

They just won without him. You keep focusing on how bad they were offensively, ok cool - they still won the game, correct? They played their worst offensive game of the season and still won. Maybe they're better defensively now without Boogie? Maybe they're about to get more stops defensively than with Boogie.

Point being, they don't HAVE to have his 15 ppg, especially if they're going to be better defensively. They don't HAVE to get Boogie's 15 pts as long as they get a few more from Adou, a few more from DJ, Knox, Brazille, etc.

I'm not sure how you're going to spin this, or deny you said it, but I'm sure you'll try. Good luck, coach. 😃

Nope, wrong again. I guess we'll ignore all the "maybe's" in that post, convenient for you, eh? Guess hypotheticals just go right over your head as well, eh? Funny, no one else on this board seemed to have trouble grasping the argument, but alas, then there's you.

So again, as simply and elementary as I can make it for you. Just like Kentucky beat Gonzaga without our starting PG, you don't HAVE to have Butler's stats to still win. Arkansas doesn't HAVE to have Boogie's stats to win, as they showed in the Georgia game.

Jakucionis for Illinois averages 15 points, 5 rebs and 5 assists per game. Illinois beat Penn St without him. They don't HAVE to have his season averages to still win games.

UCONN beat Baylor without Alex Karaban, who averages 15 points, 5 rebs and 2 assists per game.

I could go on and on with further actual examples that prove my point, but what's the use.

Goodness, you come across as a narcissist. I literally posted what you said, but if you're a narcissist, you'll deny, deny, deny no matter what I say.

So, have a good day

This is a different situation though. They only have 2 ball handlers now and if one gets in foul trouble, they have to turn to Billy Richmond. That's not good.

Fland was 2nd in the SEC in assists and he averaged 15ppg. He played 34mpg, but so did Wagner.

They don't have any other players to go to. Davis and Wagner might have to both play 40mpg. They're in deep trouble I think. I certainly don't trust Cal to fix it.

Soooooo, circling back to this. Should I go with the "told ya so", or maybe the "guess you were wrong this whole time" or maybe the "you don't know ball" or maybe I just take the high road....

Ahhhh the heck with it. See, I told you so! All that chirping and all those excuses you tried making just showed you don't know real ball or coaching.

So you^re happy I was wrong?
Look, that shouldn't have happened. We lost because we left them wide open. We didn't fight on defense.
Also, Pope keeps doing complete line changes before our starters even break a sweat. He has to stop that. These guys can go 35mpg, but Chandler and Perry played 15 minutes in the 2nd half.
If I knew Pope was going to play Perry, Garrison and Chandler that much and we were going to leave guys open, I never would have said what I said.
Don't be surprised if Arkansas doesn’t win another game, because everyone else in the SEC actually plays defense.
Congrats on being right.

Thank you, I appreciate that. Just to be clear...

So you still pretend to know more about coaching high level basketball than Pope? Ok got it, good to know

Here's another baseless claim about Arkansas not winning another game. I totally agree with you that Kentucky's defense is pathetic, but that doesn't negate the fact that you ended up being wrong about losing Fland being a guaranteed insurmountable loss. In fact I heard a national commentator make the comment Sunday that losing Fland will prove to be a catalyst for the Razorbacks.

Who, when the hell did I say I knew more about coaching than Pope? Get the hell out of here with that BS. I never said that.

Wait, you're not right about Arkansas being better without Fland. They scored under 70 in the first 2 games without him, they.lost to Oklahoma badly and they looked great against us, because we have the freaking 112th ranked defense. We suck.

So what, they beat a horrid Georgia team that is terrible away from home.

What will you say if Texas beats them tonight? Probably nothing.
