Too phoggy for them hoggies

Speaking of Razor(ed) Backs.....



Other than that, I got nuffing for ya to contribute to this thread.

They’re tall and athletic as shit but they don’t shoot well, at all. 3-11 from 3 yesterday but 43 boards and 11 of those were offensive rebounds.

Best player is Ricky Council who MuCullar will likely focus on. Another former Wichita State player who can score that we’ve played recently.

We seem to take it up a notch when we play good teams from P5 conferences. Arkansas didn’t play to their potential this year, but have been to Elite 8 the last 2 years.

Think we squeak out a win by 5 or so.

they’re young and inexperienced too

lost their starting 5 from last year’s squad, but have some projected lotto pick freshman too

JW (and experience) seems like our ace in the hole

Eh.

ARKANSAS TEAM STRENGTHS Elite defense: Arkansas ranks 13th in adjusted defensive efficiency (93.2). Foul drawers: The Razorbacks are great at getting to the free throw line, ranking 25th in the nation in free-throw-rate (39%). The Razorbacks shot 29 free throws Thursday. Defend the arc well: Arkansas limits opponents to 30.4% shooting from beyond the arc, ranking 22nd in the nation. Old-school play: The Razorbacks excel at finding quality shots inside the arc. They rank 60th in the nation in two-point percentage (53.2). Elite rim protection: Arkansas limits opposing teams to 55% shooting at the rim. In comparison, KU limits teams to 57.8%. Not to mention, the Razorbacks are 18th in the nation in block percentage (13.4).

ARKANSAS TEAM WEAKNESSES Struggles with the long ball: The Razorbacks rank 305th in the nation in three-point percentage (31.6). Free-throw line issues: Although Arkansas draws fouls at a high rate, it fails to convert at the line. The Razorbacks rank 282nd in free throw percentage (69.2). None of their regulars shoot 80% or better at the line. No sharing, no caring: Arkansas ranks 236th in assist rate (48.7%). Lack of depth: Arkansas doesn’t go deep into the bench, much like KU. The Razorbacks rank 293rd in bench minutes percentage (25.9). Bailing opponents out: Arkansas plays excellent defense but struggles to do so without fouling, ranking 331st in foul rate (39.2). Illinois shot 26 free throws on Thursday.

I assume you mean Musselman. Dude married up.

8 seed.
21-13.
Key wins: Kentucky, Auburn, San Diego State
Key losses: Missouri, Tennessee, Kentucky

Kenpom 21st.
55 adjO, 13 adjD.
21st at defending the 3 pointer and have the 16th best block %.
25th in free throw rate - so they get to the line a decent amount - but don't shoot it very well from there ( 69%, 282nd ).

Not great rebounders. Not good at taking care of the ball. Dismal at shooting the 3 ( 31.6%, 304th ).

Led by Ricky Council, 6'6.
Junior guard,
16 PPG, 3.6 RPG, 44.3% FG, 27.4% 3FG.

Anthony Black could be top 5 in the NBA draft.
Lengthy 6'7 frosh.
12.8 PPG, 5.1 RPG, 4.1 APG, 46% FG, 30.7% 3FG.

sooo

since they're 304th in 3-point shooting, that probably means they're gonna hit like 304 3-pointers against us, right?

so maybe we should be less scouting their lotto talent, and more scouting their inert white guys.

Which Tyler Murphy will have a career night!

Will it be...Cade Arbogast? Rumor has it he also blocks shots with that five head.



or will it be...Lawson Blake? pay no mind to the fact his last name is a first name and his first name is a last name (which is to say, needless to say, no relation to Dedric and KJ)



or, the dark horse, Joseph Pinion. And I say "dark horse" ironically, cuz if anything about this goldilocks was even remotely dark, he'd just spell it Piñon instead.

This guy kinda looks like NoHo Hank, the Chechen mob dude in Barry.



And then NBA lotto pick Sideshow Bob over here.
