that gym is juiced.

Z with 2 fouls in no game time at all

 

[Fox2monk]

Come on! LFG Johnnies. They weathered Arkansas’s early run.

 

[the nail at the foul line]

Thats the old DJ

 

[ukfan041]

LFG!!

 

[gharding07]

Thats the old DJ

Was thinking the same lol.

 

[gbl97]

The classic DJ Wagner layup that doesn't hit the rim. He's got some Oweh in him.

 

[ImTheVillageIdiot]

Looks to me like St. John’s is beginning to exert their will on the game. Let’s see Cal’s counterpunches

 

[megablue]

Z with 2 fouls in no game time at all

This stage is too big for Z

 

[permdaddy]

Both teams understood what this means to their coach. They are both playing as hard as they can.

 

[The_Answer1313]

St. John’s is a second half team

 

[Kuhldaddy]

Would be something if Cal made it farther in the tournament this year then Kentucky did

Considering he took all the recruits with him this was to be expected. I don't expect it to happen though

 

[Festivus Miracle]

Z's +/- not good.

 

[gbl97]

This is a fun game to watch so far. Every rebound is a battle. Hard to score at the rim.

arkansas is long and athletic and going to protect the rim. sju is playing a lot harder. they just need to hit some 3’s and get some transition baskets.

 

[Fox2monk]

He frontruns to whomever is winning. The Bulls were not a New York team.

I think he just had a court side beef with a Jordan because those Knicks games were legendary and he did the commercial with him.

 

[Butters' Dad]

A wise man once said, "If you're looking for revenge, dig two graves." Just thought that was relevant here.

 

[The_Catfather]

Leaving Kadary Richmond on the bench ended up being a good move.

 

[Fox2monk]

They call a tech on Cal?

 

[HenryMuto]

Considering he took all the recruits with him this was to be expected. I don't expect it to happen though

They didn't win in the tournament at Kentucky

 

[FirewithFire]

The Johnies need to build a lead while Aido is on the bench. Once he comes back in things could shift.

ETA: To late.

 

[Fox2monk]

Z already with 3 fouls in 5 minutes.

 

[hotelblue]

has cal ever set up getting a cal like pitino just did? man what would arkansas look like if their players bought in to that system.

 

[ImTheVillageIdiot]

They didn't win in the tournament at Kentucky

They have more experience now

 

[Farsight]

Do you think Pope could develop Big Z? or is Big Z just not capable?

 

[ImTheVillageIdiot]

Do you think Pope could develop Big Z? or is Big Z just not capable?

I believe he could. Popes offense is very demanding? Is Z capable of handling the relentless requirements? He has the tools

 

[megablue]

ARK has 3 frosh in now

 

[Fox2monk]

That’s no foul.

 

[The_Catfather]

This is a 1970s style game. I don't think either of these teams could hit 40 percent from 3 in an empty gym.

 

[FirewithFire]

Z needs muscle. He is weak. Training on gaining position wouldn't hurt either.

 

[TucsonCat]

Arkansas has a lot of energy.
Not sure it's used well, but they are moving

 

[FirewithFire]

This is a 1970s style game. I don't think either of these guys could hit 40 percent from 3 in an empty gym.

Unless they are playing UK. Then Arky can hit step back threes and miracle bank shots.

 

[gharding07]

2nd half is going to be war.

 

[CatFanInIlliniLand]

I hate Arky & Cal

 

[the nail at the foul line]

Big Z saved Arkansas several games.

Auburn had trouble with Big Z.

Ryan Kalkbrenner is what we wished Big Z was. In other words, Auburn better be ready.

 

[Pygmy Sasquatch]

I hate Arky & Cal

I've always hated arkansas, started hating cal last couple of years

 

[Fox2monk]

Not a good end to the half.

 

[ck-2]

Do you think Pope could develop Big Z? or is Big Z just not capable?

I honestly think that Z is not the sharpest tool in the shed.

 

[hotelblue]

ark is like 2-3” taller at every position, and has better shooters. sju going after it so hard they got no legs to shoot. they are wrapping up the defensive boards though.

sju is 10-42, and 1-13 on threes. “just can’t miss them all”. lol

 

[ABLCommenter]

All this for Arkansas to lose by 12 lol. I will say that technical was absurd.
