We have found our new "Voice of the Razorbacks." He is KATV's Scott Inman. Great voice; great decription of the action. Breath of fresh air. Nice job.
Tell us that you were listening (at the game) and didn't miss the rock solid all around play of Sonny Weems and the newly "offensive" 7 footer. Who was that long haired gazelle?
I went to the game. First time to see the new cagers. I was VERY impressed with Sonny Weems. I wish he would stay more than one year, but I fear he'll be a "one and done". Yes, he's that good. Smooth as silk and can shoot the 10 footer as well as the 23 footer.
Steven Hill can be a beast when he wants to. I just hope the loss of Modica and Brewer can get him some more touches.
And Darian Townes still shoots the ball whenever he touches it. Don't look for a pass when he touches it.
All in all, I thought they looked good. Don't know that I see a Final Four team "yet", but if they come together and play as a team unlike the past couple of years I have no doubt they can beat Bucknell (I'm still ticked about that – Drive all that way and watch them lay an egg). Oh, in case anyone is keeping score, my record with the Hogs in the NCAA tournament is 0-2… yep, blowout loss to Miami (yes, the "U") and Buck-stinking-nell…
Oh, and SFA is a solid team. They were better than I thought they would be.
