Tide vs Arkansas in Basketball Now

[Marshal Dillon]

It's more than obvious that we are 2 good recruiting classes way from being to field a good, competitive team. We need shooters/ball handlers in the worst way. Key and Ingram are our best players. Most of the rest are very streaky or provide minimal help or are too one dimensional, like Hall, who can rebound and block shots but that's about it. If we can pick up another player like Key and a 6'8"-6'10' player like JaMycal Greene, who can play inside and score 14-16 points a game and rebound. I'm interested to see if Avery Johnson, Jr. shows major improvement next year, too. I could say more, but if we can get some more talent, we can win big.


          

No good bad ugly for this game?  (it was all ugly)

I was going to post the same thing and forgot. There was absolutely no good except when the game ended. I could have named it the Rocky Horror Picture Show.

Believe it or not our RPI went up after the terrible loss. We moved up 8 spots to 63 with Realtime RPI which is similar to the NCAA RPI that the NCAA Committee uses. We are higher in ESPN RPI at 55.

A road loss against a quality team must not hurt. By comparison the barn drops 16 spots in Realtime to 77 after the home loss to UT. They are 76 in ESPN. Before the mid-week games they were ranked higher than us in both rating systems.

These numbers are NIT. We have opportunities coming up to help our stock. The barn game Saturday night is huge. A win would help us slightly. A loss is a 15-20 drop in RPI standings. We have UK and South Carolina coming up. Our program desperately needs a "big time" win.
