[...] bubble, thanks to their rather lackluster stretch of games in late February. But, thanks to a very solid 81-75 victory over #17 Vanderbilt, Arkansas solidified its Big Dance credentials beyond any doubt. (They also continued one of their [...]
Good game… good intensity but we will need a great game and intensity for Tennessee. Go Hogs!
If we can somehow beat Tenn., we may have a shot at winning the whole SEC tournament………..wishful thinking, i know but who knows about this group!!!!!!
GO HOGS!!!!!
I can’t believe we almost doubled Vandi’s rebounds. FT shooting was also good down the stretch. The only problem, it seem’s, we can’t clean up is the unnessesary fouling. If we rebound and shoot FTs that effectively against Tenn., and somehow cut down on silly fouls, we just might have a chance. GO HOGS GO!!!!! BEAT TENNESSEE!!!!!
Things are a bit uncertain at this time (12:12 AM Eastern) as far as games being played due to severe weather in the Atlanta downtown area. Apparently a tornado came through, causing a delay in the Bama-Miss St. game and the postponement of the Georgia-Kentucky game. The Georgia Dome was damaged but not too severely.The damage is extensive in the downtown area and I can’t believe there were no serious injuries or fatalities associated. The authorites just announced that all major highways into the downtown area have been closed. I’ve lived in the Atlanta area for 13-14 years and have never seen that happen before.
It’s going to be interesting to see how this all shakes out. I was bummed because I have to work today and would thus have missed the game. With postponement of the Georgia-Kentucky game maybe I’ll be able to see it. However, at this time, no word on what exactly will be done about the tournament.
