***LIVE UPDATES/GAME THREAD: KENTUCKY at ARKANSAS***

    Calipari says he heard Arkansas staff say after the game: 'They're soft.' He didn't argue that point.

    Thought they had "toughened" up after the Mizzou game. Afraid we took a step backwords today.

    It's not toughness, the game was out of control. The players were out if control. Home teams average a 15 point swing on Vegas line right now. Tourney games are far from road games. College ball has reduced to home cooking at its best. We lost bc we sucked, but home teams are dictating their pace and style bc officials are more like the replacement refs in the nfl. Lets just get to the field of 68 and start over. Fuck this shows bastard

  • Arkansas beat Florida at home by 11 and then went to Gainesville and got destroyed. Arky is tough at home. I don't think this loss hurts us, TBH, but it sure could have helped us. If we would have won we'd definitely be in the tournament. Now UGA is a must win, and possibly the first game or two of the SEC tourney.

    I got to thinking if we beat UGA, maybe we are okay, but how can anyone think a bubble team can lose two of their last three? Gotta beat Uga, and have to be playing at least on Saturday, IMO.

    Also to many individuals and not enough team. I understand this team is young and expect some losses, its the way this team loses. They quit. No fight in them. All I expect is for players to go out and leave it all on the court. To many of these guys dont do that.

    Did they quit last week when they were down 13?

    No they didn't. However, you cannot be this inconsistent. If they can do it against Mizzou, then why not against Arkansas? This team just does not get it yet, plain and simple. With the talent they have there is no way they get beat by 13 at Arkansas if they play their hearts out. They might get beat, but if they hustle and fight like they have a pair all year, or even the last half of the year, then they would not be on the bubble right now.

    There have been numerous games this year where some of the players have quit. You must not be watching the same team as me. Have you not seen how they get manhandled on the boards. Rebounding is effort. Defense is effort. Some of these guys are only interested in scoring and looking good. They dont do the little things that wins games. Sure there has been a few games where they have shown some life, but you have to do it every game. It is one thing to play hard and lose, but to just stand around and let teams out hustle you and beat you. That is totally different. All I ask is for players to give it all they got and leave it all on the court by playing hard. Some of these guys just dont do that.
