Monday Evening Hodge Podge

After slaving away for countless hours in our attempt to bring you a tasty buffet of the latest and greatest Razorback news, we realized that Brandon Marcello of The Slophouse has pretty much stolen our thunder. His early afternoon post touched on almost everything we wanted to cover, so we’ll just link to it here.

Before you leave us, though, we did want to make special note of how much the Razorbacks seemingly improved their NCAA chances just over the weekend. As of Friday, ESPN’s Bracketology page had the Hogs making the tournament by the skin of their teeth. Now, the page is projecting Arkansas as a No. 6 seed in the West, slated to take on No. 11 seeded UNLV in Anaheim. Not a bad weekend’s work.

I certainly think Tennessee’s big slap down tonight on a Florida squad that showed much better in Knoxville than it did at Fayetteville ought to give us cause to pause. I thought that Florida win was better than it probably was. Really tough game against a backs-to-the-wall Ole Miss team on Saturday. Then on the road in K-ville. Then Starkville. It’s not an easy road. If the Hogs win two of those three, I’m going to start thinking they are bona fide. Beat Ole Miss and then drop the other two? Not unexpected for anyone in this league. Lose all three? This team would suck. Win all three? World-beaters and ready to run deep in the tourney.

It’s a fine line.

That game was close until the very end and Florida even had a lead at one point. Tennessee pulled away at the end of the game to make it look worse than what it was.

We dominated Florida from start to finish.

Hey, Hawg3–What happened to “total domination” that you wrote last time?
I think we are on a good path.
I agree that Saturday’s game against Ole Miss is huge.
P.s. Please don’t beat me up this time…….
