Hoops: Hearing ISU/Arkansas in Big 12/SEC Challenge

[Doc]

Arkansas could possibly be Top 25 by the time they play ISU or at least later in the year. I'm happy about the matchup.

time to dump this and get a series going with the pac-12 again.

 

[CycloneErik]

We win 94-88.

And play Cal or Oregon State again?..Arkansas is a lot better than people on here are giving them credit for.

We win 94-88.

Arkansas has not been a good road team under Mike Anderson, so I think breaking 80 will be a stretch for them unless both teams are not playing D. If Arkansas hits 88, we will be over 100. I don't think they will break 80 though.

I was hoping for Vandy. I like easy blowout wins.

Everyone's whining about the matchup but honestly after UK and Florida they're all pretty average. This should be a fun game, both teams play high paced and Anderson is a good coach.

This isn't football, an easy blowout is pretty much just season filler for MBB and after the first one or two cupcake games, when you're just grateful that there is basketball to watch again, they get pretty boring.

 

[BryceC]

I'm good with this. A lot of winnable good not great teams in the noncon setting the table for McKay being eligible.

I wonder who Chriss Babb will root for

I can't really see Chris doing anything but cheering for the Clones and giving his little brother a bunch of **** when they lose.

Maybe for you but me personally I don't find blowouts boring. Blowouts are fun, less stressful and the players tend to do more showtime stuff.

What horse****. Missouri should never get to play anyone from the Big 12 except for TCU or WVU. **** them.

Meh, hopefully OU pounds them.

But yes, I agree. Mizzou doesn't deserve favors.


When TAMU left, I understood. They were sick of Texas ********. When Mizzou left it was basically "look at me!!!!!" and the SEC just kind of took them ho hum to make an even number.

 

[surly]

whatever their reason, missouri is in better space right now than the teams they left behind.

I'm actually the opposite unless that blowout is against a good team. Blowouts against crappy teams do nothing for me. Steel sharpens steel.

 

[Dingus]

Why not both?

I'm glad we get Arkansas at home; I think they're pretty decent at home and away is always tough. I'll be happy to get Kentucky or Florida away next year, however.
