Don't know anything about this Arky team other than they lost two really good guards from last year's decent squad. Got that athletic big man in Gafford but a lot of new faces in every other position I imagine. Espn's semi reliable algorithm has the Boogs at over 90% to win the contest:

so I'm guessing that'll translate to the HYGs being a double digit favorite by Wedensday night.

Hopefully the four day rest will let Austin continue to get healthy as we're gonna need him for the game at Rupp on Saturday. Just need a dub and no injuries please
 
Gonna need Austin for about 10 mins and 5 fouls in this one. Although hopefully they won’t decide to foul out our entire front court at the Clam as they did in Fayetville last year.

Maybe this the game Malik finally gets the start and we tuck Samir away on the bench where he belongs. Although, Bruce said he was dinged up missed some practice last week so who knows if that means it’s still his spot or if that’s just a convenient way to push him into a lesser role.
 
I thought Gafford was banged up but he played 30+ minutes against MSU Saturday. 6’5” guard for them scored 30 that I didn’t know before Saturday. Need Bryce to shut him down. Should be a big boog win but who knows with this team.

The win @ LSU is the most baffling SEC game this year to me. I still don't get it. I guess they just caught them on the right night but its the one thing on their resume that terrifies me going into this one. Nothing else says they should give us trouble at home.

Keep Joe and Mason from lighting us up and keep Gafford away from the rim and they won't break 60 on us in The Clam. I like the way we've been playing defense lately, but we better keep it up because we cannot afford to have a single slip up now

Boogs -11.5

Bruce seemed to indicate that Austin’s return to dominance is imminent. Looking healthy in practice. We’ll see would be great if he could give us a taste tomorrow in a route leading up to the showdown at Rupp.
 
I think the home dominance returns. No more of that Ole Miss game nonsense. Boogs get into the 80's, Razorbacks lucky to keep it within 15. Boogs roll on Redshirt Junior Night at the Clam.
 
Arkansas is miserable on the road. I expect us to win, but I don’t see any way Gafford doesn’t play well against us.

is it really Wednesday already? not sure I’ve had enough time off to recover from the excitement of the last 5 half’s of basketball we’ve played, but I’m expecting another raucous - 58% capacity crowd at the Clam

fingers crossed for Barry Booker on the call! maybe they can go 3 man booth for this showcase matchup with Barry AND Sean Farnham on color and Debbie Antonelli steering the ship and that will be the final nudge I need to pull the trigger

WDE!
