Boogs v Arkansas

[Denim Vest]

For the first time in many moons I'm jealous of people that live within a 4 hour radius of Boogville. The Clam should be absolutely rocking on Saturday. Super psyched for this one as we take on another ranked club in our SEC home opener. Few teams in the cbb world have impressed me more than our boogs and Ark is not one of them. Expecting a big dub in this one.

 

[MomentInTheSun]

I've just got some feeling in my gut that the Boogs are gonna win this one in a blowout.

The travel schedule will be tough on Arkansas. Played a late game Tuesday in Starkville. Travel back late that night/early that morning. Then have to travel today to Auburn. And reading some Arkansas boards, they felt their team ran out of steam late in that game against State. Some think the 30+ minutes per game Macon and Barford are racking up is starting to catch up with them.

 

[Denim Vest]

Yes I've had visions of a route. Of course I had the same visions last year when we were running UGA out the building and then imploded but this team is obviously on a whole different level and brimming with confidence.

 

[MomentInTheSun]

I just feel the Boogs have this momentum and confidence going right now and that'll carry over for at least the first SEC home game. I'm sure there's gonna be some let down games eventually, but you can just kind of feel that the Boog team wants to prove that Tuesday wasn't a fluke

It's gonna be such a grind. We had some guys play a lot of mins against UT but I expect the electricity in the Clam to carry them through. I'd like to see us trim a few mins off of Bryce and Jared's averages to keep them fresh late in games and through the season.

lulz...liking all the booging i'm seeing here boyz. Just excited to see Bruce's hulksters back in action and have a new pack of tissues at the ready.

A win here would be amazing but prepared for worst.

 

[Bryan9451]

Boogs by 8, Harper hits a couple of big 3s to win late.

Really excited to be there Saturday. Should be the best basketball environment since 99-00.

 

[ThrustMaxwell]

Boogs by 11.

 

[ShenaniganZ]

Either win or lose by 10+, that's my prediction.

I'm boog'n hard tho

Hope that's the case, because those 2 guys scare me. Macon is the type of guy that can get hot and start making shots you cannot defend and at that point you just have to keep scoring to hang in it. Barford is tough. Hopefully we're not worn down too much either. We're not playing crazy minutes and our travel has been less intense lately but I worry we're riding an emotional wave that might crash at any minute (I think this is just PTSD from too many years of boog hoops letdown)

^^this is what got UT the game turned off on me Tuesday they were Vol fans but admittedly cared very little for basketball...I was being rather bombastic in my cheering, especially when Bryce and Chuma went off...I'm sure I only furthered their distaste for the game : |

oh well. suck it losers!

 

[Gran_Polla]

I'll be there.

 

[Van Gorstache]

Boogs 91, Razorbacks 80.

 

[Slippin Jimmy]

We’ll be good as long as Teddy V is nowhere near boogville

How many games last year did we have a 10pt+ lead and end up losing?

Don’t know if I’m reaching back more than one year, but I think I remember it happening several times

 

[BigtimeAub]

I know there at least 3 20pt+ games that we lost. IIRC

Ole miss and UGA. Maybe one of those multiple times

 

[BigtimeAub]

Ole miss and UGA. Maybe one of those multiple times

Something like that. Could be some of that PTSD that was mentioned above on my part. I still can't shake the feeling that we're going to slide at the end of the year and wind up as a 3 seed in the NIT. Go ahead and shame me now, I deserve it.

[Boytano]

any boog that says the team's RPI should be #1 is an itty it.

 

[DufnerFanBoy]

I believe it was 5 times. Both games to UGA and OM and to Mizzou in the SECT. Four of those were blown in the second half.

Good call on Chuma, Doc. He's soooooooooo soft!

 

[seaborn56]

All I know is I won’t be able to contain my excitement in the arena today. Feels good to have unbridled confidence in the team and the coach. I expect it to be deafening in the arena.

 

[Denim Vest]

Gameday gameday. Went to see if they were doing any pregame stuff on SECN and it’s all stupid foootbaw championship garbage nobody cares about. Oh well nice slate of action today leading up to our contest.

Yeah it’s been like that all week. There was barely any basketball coverage Tuesday and Wednesday nights. It will be nice when Tuesday night gets here so that all the focus will be on basketball for a while.

Link is broken.

Huh. Just go to the auburn basketball page on espn. It’s the first or second story

 

[Denim Vest]

RPI
ARK 11
Boogs 12

We probably jump into the top 10 there with a W. Into the top 25 poll. Tourney odds would go up to around 90% and we start looking like a contender in conference. Still super early but that’s the math.

 

[BigtimeAub]

 

[MomentInTheSun]

Boogs are the growing favorites. Kind of crazy how much the number moved for the over/under. People must have been hitting the over really hard.

 

[Denim Vest]

Dang over 148 that’s free money. I’d be shocked if both teams didn’t score in the 80s or higher. Both squads avg almost 90.

WOOD...every damn one of them.
Thnx BRUCE!

 

[Fatz Geronimo]

gang - let’s all start praying to the basketball gods now that the OK ST - Iowa St game doesn’t run long... idk why ESPN continues to schedule games in 2 hr windows when they know they’re going to run long - especially if the officials decide to be the biggest stars of the game

anyway, I’m preparing myself to miss the first 5-6 minutes of our game just so I don’t stroke out as the final 90 seconds of the early game take 8 minutes

Should be available as a steam, i would think.

 

[Denim Vest]

Yes I’ll have my streaming device on the ready. Expect the Clam to be deafening at tip don’t want to miss it.

 

[Fatz Geronimo]

I’ll have the iPad ready... but I want to drink in BRUCE and his hulking youngsters in the FULL GLOW of my trusty SAMSUNG and not miss 1 second

 

[midnighttulips]

I'm so sad I'm not close enough to go. Hoping to make the Kentucky game.
