Was a 7 point game with 11 minutes to go and LR lost their leading scorer to a leg injury. LR very well may have won the game if he did not get injured.
Time to watch

Pigs were outscored 37-43 in the second half by a horrific team.
Arkansas shots 7/24 from three in this game (29%).
Can't wait to see Cal lose again in the first weekend.

Someone stated a while back how he turns every game in to a “rock fight” and that is perfectly describing him now especially vs weaker teams. Thiero’s athleticism is what is saving him in these games but it will be interesting to see when league play starts and teams have just as much athleticism along with coaching and adjustments that will be made.
I sure don’t miss these rock fights at all, so glad he left.

Do you really think they make the ncaa? I'm not convinced.
Are yall so obsessed that you’re going to post after every Ark game? 🤦🏻♂️
What I thought would be an exciting game when Cal came back will be an easy win for the cats. I can’t see the game even being close and will be an embarrassment. But he can look on the bright side….. at least a lot of people came to watch his team play.
He's Mark Stoops of basketball. It's like if it isn't a struggle, the win wasn't worth it. Like, wth?
Cal without Robic or Welch is just.....meh at best.
Heaven forbid we talk about basketball on a basketball board.
LR cut it to like 7 in the 2nd half. They literally struggle against everyone it seems. WTH!
Yeah he won’t have many games shooting like that again, he had his one good game from the perimeter.
Yeah I know what you mean. I was ready for him to be gone for years. Looking more and more like I was right all along. I hope it continues. I’m so dam happy where we are now.
"A" thread is completely fine,, but when there's 3-6 other ones also,, kinda stupid..
Yep, Arkansas fans go to church on Friday nights, too, apparently. Or maybe some have church every night.
On a more serious note, I was watching that game and remembering that old offense we ran for so many years. Welch had Cal running a more open offense the last couple years, but we would usually default to Calipari's stall ball when he wanted to sit on a lead. Hold the ball to 10 seconds, then have someone try to make a play.
That offense worked pretty well between 2009 and 2015 when Cal had the most talented players in the nation. He could have them dribble around, run that dribble drive hand-off line, then have someone make a move and try to finish.
But looking at a more modern offense, you see the deficiencies. If you don't have a guy who can create offense off the dribble or multiple guys who can beat guys one on one and others who can make threes at a high clip, you're in trouble, because your scheme doesn't create shots. Your players have to do it.
Arkansas is going to struggle in the SEC this year. This UK team is clearly better. Arkansas is likely to struggle in these next several games, in fact. They're gonna likely lose to Illinois, which is not a great team but they're probably top 25. They're likely to lose to Miami in Coral Gable. They're probably gonna lose to Michigan in Madison Square Garden, too. And then they go to Knoxville to open the SEC and Tennessee is gonna beat them by 20+.
If they make the tournament. They’re already down to 40th in Kenpom which is bubble range. They’ve already lost to a Baylor team that got dominated again tonight. And they’ve been playing with fire against the weaker part of their schedule and it’s probably only a matter of time before they eat a resume crippling loss.
Granted, Jackson State was probably the equivalent of a decent high school team, but after watching that beautiful display of basketball the way it’s supposed to be played by UK, and then watching Arkansas and Cal’s “offense” struggle to put away mighty Little Rock, I couldn’t be happier with where our program is today.
That hog slop in Fayetteville would be our team if Cal didn’t bluff himself into a pig pen.
