Welcome back Hoggybones! This was such an amazing atmosphere to be at, it reminded me a bit of the Auburn game in 2021, so glad to have Arkansas basketball back
Wow, I'm still stunned at how great this game was in so many respects. Two really good teams fighting like it was do or die. That crowd and the atmosphere. The quality of play. So many takeaways from this game. Arkansas' athleticism is off the charts. The chemistry with so many new players on the roster is astounding, a real tribute to the players and coaches. Brazile is back and better than ever. He has such a complete game. Mitchell is the X factor with his defense, rebounding and toughness. Our best teams have always had that hard-nosed grinder who will do the dirty work. The transfers are better than advertised, their play being elevated by the other players around them. This team is dangerous. No one wants to play the Hogs this year. Let's go!!!
Purdue is a team returning a large amount of players from a great team last year in a system they are familiar with. Arkansas is a team of players that haven't played together before, with Muss installing a different system that most of them have played before. We've got 4 months to get better. So excited for Razorback basketball this year.
What a smorgasboard of talent and experience! Gonna be fun to watch Muss move these chess pieces around for each opponent this season, and...SHOOTERS! And DEFENSE! This feels special. GO HOGS
That’s a great opening picture.. that happens to Edey practically every play of every game .. Edey is Shaw-like in that regard that teams have to break rules to keep him at bay.. frustrating to Purdue fans
Would be great to have these types of pre season games every year. Winner-loser doesn't matter because the games don't count in offical stats. Just fun competition for players and fans.
Edey should have spent much more time shooting free throws, then the so-called locking up would not have happened. Basketball does not allow players to hang onto each others arms as much as was done in this game.
