Florida 98, Arkansas 68

ESPN.com: Florida emphatically ends Arkansas’ home winning streak

Erving Walker scored a career-high 31 points and the No. 14 Gators ended Arkansas’ perfect home record with a 98-68 win.

Also:

  • Roadhog

    Great defensive stand by the Hogs, holding Gators under 100.

  • Hawgfan100

    I’m not going to sweat it: at most we have six more games to go through.

  • T-towner

    John Pelphrey immediately afterwards, “My Gators played like my Hogs should have!” Go John!

    Did we play a game? (lols!)

    Seriously though, I’m giving all the blame to a friend of mine that stopped by and said “Hell, they’re gonna get beat by 30…”.
    I laughed, rolled my eyes and said “Are you nutts?” “They haven’t lost in BWA all season under CMA and they’ve beaten 3 top 25 teams in the process.” “No way they lose by more than a handful of points.” “They might even win.”

    Well, I think it’s now safe to say my good friend must have had a CMA voodoo doll tucked away somewhere, pulled it out, just for the occasion and stuck needles into CMA’s skull at the beginning of every timeout…horrible game yesterday.

    ESPN is doing a documentary on the hogs games with Florida, Kentucky, Georgia, and a couple of other honorable mention teams. 40 Minutes Of Beat Down should premier sometime this spring. It will have interviews with dozens of players who enjoyed carreer high stats against AR. tempurpedic wants to pay to name the court after their mattress. Kind of a nice tribute for a team who has enjoyed laying down for a decade.

    No excuses, but its hard to play the way Mike wants to play with a limited number of bodies. And it finally looks like its catching up with this young team.

    I will say I was impressed with Florida. That was the best I had seen them all year. They look like a team that could be a Final Four type team with the right draw.

    Petrino lost to Ole Miss his first two years. I think our system we have in place in football has matured and is showing fruit now. Like in football, CMA is putting in his system. These players have done well. I am sure they are feeling a season in their bodies now.
    We need a couple more pieces for the puzzle. We need some players to become experts of the system.

    We can only hope that Mike’s first class has the same level of success Bobby’s first class had 3 years later. T-Towner, I can appreciate your support for Pelphry, but if you are a Razorback fan, you have to admit, we are in a much better situation now with Mike here.

    We must look at the entire season and not game by game. The fact is, we have a very young team that has lost quite a few players from Phel’s last season. They have won a few games they should not have won, they have shown us games of what the future holds. After a long season of hard work and trying to reach big expectations, the team has shown its youth and the effects of a long season in the SEC. We should look forward and be happy with a BJ Young, Hunter Micheleson, the return of Marshawn Powell and the return of real razorback basketball. As fans we have expected instant gratification when we need patience and support for the return of real razorback basketball. Go HAWGS!!!!
