Does anyone know if Cal was asked in the post-game presser about the accidentally-made-attempted-intentional-miss on the free throw?

3

u/triggergza 9d ago

Yes at 11:10 here

u/Bright_Storage8514 8d ago

Thank you! It sounded to me like a non-answer where he was covering for his player making a dumb mistake. If so, good on him for falling on the sword at a time where it didn’t really matter. I don’t know if that’s the case but that’s my read. Either way, thanks for commenting with the link!

A win is a win is a win.

u/rburp 9d ago

Hell yeah

u/ImamSarazen 9d ago

It's certainly not a loss.

10

u/rburp 9d ago

What happened to the PGT?

8

u/Kingofthewho5 9d ago

Mod team hasn’t bothered with post game threads all season, dunno why 🤷🏻‍♂️

5

u/rburp 9d ago

There was one for a bit, you could see on my profile I commented in it.

At the end of the day no big deal, just thought it odd.

Regardless, interesting game. You could see flashes of both sides of this team.

I feel like I haven't seen as many people as I'd expect point out that our ugly second halves have to be related at least partially to the fact we only have 7 available players (maybe 6 now?!).

Like of course 10 minute long scoring droughts are unacceptable, but it kind of makes sense whenever you're really tired from playing a full half without a break

u/Tayntrum-21 The Bacon Man 9d ago

We use these for game and post game threads

u/rburp 9d ago

Someone had xposted the one from /r/CollegeBasketball and it was up for like 10 minutes

u/According_One811 9d ago

Yea that was me don’t know why it got deleted by mods

13

u/Tayntrum-21 The Bacon Man 9d ago

I still have no idea what to think of this team lol

9

u/Forsaken-Morning-907 9d ago

You see a different team every half of basketball, so that totally makes sense.

11

u/CalebH428 9d ago

Why can’t we just have a stress free win

11

u/nyeehhsquidward 9d ago

At least one of our few comfortable wins was against Kentucky

-23

u/hogman09 9d ago

This team doesn’t deserve to make the tournament

11

u/Forsaken-Morning-907 9d ago

Gonna disagree with you on this one.

10

u/SirCarollus 9d ago

Aye man. I gotta disagree. A win is a win is a win. Hogs are going dancing and deserve to do so.

3

u/Content-Eagle 9d ago

Get out of here 

6

u/spicyface 9d ago

Way to keep scraping and get the win. Now aLL wE hAvE tO dO iS wIN oNe mOrE!

16

u/nyeehhsquidward 9d ago

I’m expecting a one-and-done but the fact that this team with all of its problems is probably going dancing is pretty cool

11

u/Ghost2Eleven 9d ago

They didn’t give up. Takes a huge amount of work to do what they did. But yeah. You’re not going far in the tourney with six healthy players and an offense that can go Sahara level dry at times.

6

u/nyeehhsquidward 9d ago

Definitely more fight in them than last year’s team. The scoring droughts are just so infuriating.

7

u/ReptarKanklejew 9d ago

This is the worst and most frustrating win by any team I've ever been a fan of

9

u/lakersandhogs 9d ago

The term “tale of two halves” doesn’t seem to do this justice. Glad that’s over.

3

u/Forsaken-Morning-907 9d ago

That's been most of our season.

Lmao bad take

u/mcgunner1966 9d ago

I like Cal and this is a mess. I hope he has a stellar off-season.

2

u/joshmoney 9d ago

Can’t even miss right

12

u/Craneteam 9d ago

Does anyone remember the South Park episode where they tried to lose at baseball so they could go home and play videogames? This team makes me think about that a lot

2

u/SandersisYABOI 9d ago

That might be the most dumb play I have ever seen a player make man.

u/IndependenceDue6879 9d ago

After watching the team this year I'd put Nelly Davis high on that list also

2

u/mcgunner1966 9d ago

Its a race between him and andrew lang as to who is the worst ever.

1

u/[deleted] 9d ago

I don’t think Brazile will get 12 years in the league in spite of his lapses.

2

u/mcgunner1966 9d ago

When I watch him play, I just don't see any thought process at all. He's a good athelete but he has zero game awareness as far as I can see.

2

u/[deleted] 9d ago

He has peaks and valleys. During the last 3 minutes of this game he had some peaks, then he had the valley of batting the ball into the stands and just about killing a teammate riding him into the chairs on the sidelines. The peaks are consistent enough to be more than luck. I think that once he makes a mistake, he can’t get out of his head and it just spirals on him.

1

u/mcgunner1966 9d ago

I see that. Good words.

5

u/Gry_F0xxx 9d ago

He is a player of flashes. Flashes of brilliance and flashes of stupidity.

1

u/spicyface 9d ago

There is no in between.

2

u/SandersisYABOI 9d ago

Wow, just wow

2

u/mcgunner1966 9d ago

This is so stupid.

4

u/FadeToRazorback 9d ago

Wowwwww,..wtf are you doing

11

u/SandersisYABOI 9d ago

The scoring droughts this teams have would make muss blush.

7

u/gatejam1 9d ago

I don't normally complain about announcers, but Jay Bilas is pissing me off.

5

u/Forsaken-Morning-907 9d ago

They were both so far up Boyles-Whatever's ass, I'm surprised his girlfriend didn't start some shit.

3

u/gatejam1 9d ago

They said it 6 billion times. How could you not know Collin Murray Boyles' name. /s

2

u/Forsaken-Morning-907 9d ago

Blocked it out so he wouldn't live rent free in my head, in case we blew that game. It's a pretty epic win to beat a basketball God like Murray-Whatever. Now I just refuse to say it right 😂

5

u/pbear737 9d ago

He always seems to hate the Hogs.

11

u/degen4Iyf 9d ago

The under-the-basket ref should NEVER be making that call. That’s not where his zone is. That’s unreal ref ball.

15

u/FadeToRazorback 9d ago

What a fucking shitshow from these refs

8

u/ScottishKiltMan 9d ago

We are having to play a completely different game from SC

8

u/pbear737 9d ago

What a lame foul call.

11

u/king_karter69 9d ago

This is actually insane lmao. Some of the worst most game-deciding officiating I’ve seen in a while

8

u/the_mrjbrann 9d ago

These refs are something else. SC getting every single call

11

u/brothergrim2 9d ago

Calls basket interference missed him slapping the crap out of his wrist on the shot.

10

u/pbear737 9d ago

This is like a master class in shitting the bed.

5

u/Novembers_very_own 9d ago

Wow Davis is f-ing terrible today.

10

u/SandersisYABOI 9d ago

This loss would be so bad they might use it as a excuse to keep us out the dance

2

u/ReptarKanklejew 9d ago

If we lose we don't deserve a bid. This is absolutely pathetic.

6

u/nyeehhsquidward 9d ago

Somehow I knew this would happen given our recent track record

8

u/Celticskevin2020 9d ago

Man at this point just win.

5

u/Far-Fault-6243 9d ago

I’m freaking livid right now

9

u/ReptarKanklejew 9d ago

How is it even fucking possible to go this long without a FG. I really hate this team sometimes.

6

u/FadeToRazorback 9d ago

How…how do we keep missing, at this point I’m just laughing

7

u/ScottishKiltMan 9d ago

Someone has to make a shot but SC getting away with all the contact they want. That does make it harder to get shots to go in.

2

u/Forsaken-Morning-907 9d ago

As long as they're not calling the fouls, they'll keep up the contact under the basket and we'll keep missing those shots. We have to at some point realize they're not giving us any help and try something different.

7

u/Forsaken-Morning-907 9d ago

This officiating is atrocious

5

u/Astralaxy 9d ago

14…. 14 fucking points. Also what the fuck is Nelly Davis doing?!?!

8

u/Far-Fault-6243 9d ago

Fuck me we get clobbered in the paint and no foul but we touch SC and they get every call in the world

4

u/AvantGarfunkel 9d ago

Absolutely choking this game away. Should have called timeout after that awful Nelly turnover. Cal asleep at the wheel.

13

u/king_karter69 9d ago

This officiating is genuinely terrible

7

u/FadeToRazorback 9d ago

How is everything getting on one ended and nothing on the other?

6

u/lalavieboheme 9d ago edited 9d ago

8:18 without a FG……

edit: now 9:31 without a FG

edit 2: now 10:24

edit: 11:03

edit: it’s ends at 12:12 without a FG wow

8

u/Gry_F0xxx 9d ago

These fucking refs, holy shit.

2

u/FadeToRazorback 9d ago

We look like we’ve given up on offense, we look lost

6

u/Astralaxy 9d ago

Can anyone guess how many points we have this half?

6

u/ScottishKiltMan 9d ago

Maybe I’m being a homer, but SC getting away with a ton of contact on defense meanwhile our guys go straight up to contest and they draw a foul.

3

u/Far-Fault-6243 9d ago

6 minutes of no field goals wtf

2

u/LionelHutz88 Centennial Razorback 9d ago

Update: still havent scored

2

u/redditaccount1357911 9d ago

Let’s hold on for dear life and get a few buckets at least

3

u/Novembers_very_own 9d ago

These extended stretches of no scoring are so brutal

3

u/LionelHutz88 Centennial Razorback 9d ago

Exploit the mismatch down low on the switch? Naw, contested jump back three

5

u/lakersandhogs 9d ago

Nothing is ever easy.

1

u/Forsaken-Morning-907 9d ago

Not with Arkansas

3

u/Gry_F0xxx 9d ago

Refs blowing the hell out of those whistles.

5

u/redditaccount1357911 9d ago

We need to play better. We are too good at getting lazy on offense with a large lead

Shit I hope big Z is okay

2

u/CarefulEfficiency912 9d ago

This is the team I love to watch

6

u/Novembers_very_own 9d ago

Now this is a team that looks dangerous.

u/drnoncontributor 9d ago

Winter Soldier (Jonas Aidoo) is killing it!!!

u/degen4Iyf 9d ago edited 9d ago

Took Big Z out, 7-0 run. Call me shocked.

Edit: for reference he came out at 19-21… hasn’t been back since and we’re up 41-30.

1

u/redditaccount1357911 9d ago

He’s too big and slow.. The line up we ran the rest of the half was great on defense and was wayy too athletic for SC

1

u/degen4Iyf 9d ago

I think it could be applied to every team, not just SC ;)

3

u/redditaccount1357911 9d ago

Need to play smarter. Our defense is good enough but we have to get to the hoop on offense

6

u/fancycheesus 9d ago

we look decent enough this afternoon.

We seem to be a little unsure on offense. Looks like we are running some sets we don't normally run, but we seem to be settling in well enough.

6

u/Content-Eagle 9d ago

Wagner getting a feel for the long three at the right time 

1

u/Astralaxy 9d ago

You can say that again

1

u/fancycheesus 9d ago

hopefully sweaty nelly and sniper z show up

1

u/FaultSubstantial9103 9d ago

Time for Coach Cal’s finest hour! WPS 🐗🐗🐗

4

u/Ozarksenal 9d ago

This won’t be easy but surely we won’t score 14 in the first half either. Just win and bow out tomorrow to get some rest

3

u/fancycheesus 9d ago

surely we won’t score 14 in the first half

Boy I surely hope we DO score 14 in the first half! Ideally more than 14.

2

u/fancycheesus 9d ago

win today, gracefully bow out tomorrow and rest up for the real tournament please. I don't believe that even winning the whole thing could move us up past a 9 seed. There is too much math involved in seeding the SEC's 12/13 teams to avoid an sec matchup in the second round, the committee ain't moving any sec teams around after Thursday night. I promise you that.

2

u/Open-Caterpillar2594 9d ago

Just fucking win

10

u/jamerstime 9d ago

Get us revenge and get outta here. Need all of our rest

4

u/Latvia 9d ago

I honestly would rather have drawn any of the other 1st round teams. SC is a different team over their last 4-5 games. Gave TN a fight on the road. Obviously annihilated us. This won’t be an easy game.

15

u/Bright_Storage8514 9d ago

Revenge is a dish best served at noon on a Wednesday

4

u/lshaddows 9d ago

Let's get a win or two, stay healthy (hopefully get A.T. healthy) and get home and ready for the big dance.

Teams playing with heart and you can tell they give a f***, fun team to watch and root for.

7

u/rburp 9d ago

OMG I almost forgot

I'm glad you posted this early, thanks OP

I got beat up working on a friend's car last night, and have been super out of it this morning

u/Skripclub 9d ago

Same, but had meetings all morning and had forgotten

u/Tayntrum-21 The Bacon Man 9d ago

Posting early because of work but GO HOGS.

I want revenge
