Anyone winning anything? I hit a little 5 leg parlay last night w/ WVU +9, Tenn Martin +3, Houston Baptist +31, ArkSt/Mem under 146, and Bay/Ill over 143, but that is the only thing I've hit this year.

From our brief conversation, he sounds like a great kid. Has two younger brothers coming up as well.

don't miss this if you like to watch the girl's play, they just might make the big times this year...

I believe they are states eight and nine to move the football season to the spring.

Think that includes California, Illinois, Maryland, Nevada, New Mexico, Virginia, Washington. And DC area as well.

Here's my weekly side-by-side comparison of Arkansas and Missouri...

Arkansas is scheduled to play at Notre Dame on Sept. 12.

Through two real games (and whatever that was versus Mississippi Valley State), I have to say we look pretty good. Depth like we haven't seen in a long time, three point shooters seemingly everywhere, and length on defense that will give whoever we play a hard time.

Our offensive chemistry still has a long ways to go, but that was to be expected with so many new pieces. These last two games can be even more encouraging considering we probably ought to have scored around 20 more points in each, but we still won each game by double digits anyway.

Vanover has to be your MVP so far. He is a liability on defense when opposing teams choose to go straight at him, but he's just a weapon on offense and a great rim protector. As Muss said, if they can continue to fine tune the defense when he's out there and neutralize his weaknesses, then we have a dude that no one in the country can match up with on offense.

Surprisingly, not far behind Vanover, in my eyes, is Jalen Tate. He still seems to be figuring out offense with some great moments and some not so great moments, but his defense is a game changer. He consistently takes away his man from the play and forces the opposing team to play 4 on 5. Last night in particular, it felt like every time Tate came out of the game it was only moments later that Muss was sending him back in. He's very valuable.

"Moses Moody might average the quietest 15 ppg we've ever seen" (Williams, 2020)[1]. He had a sweet dunk yesterday, but aside from that, there's nothing about his game that's very flashy. He gets to the foul line and knocks down his free throws, he rebounds well, and his length serves him very well on defense. As of right now, I'm not convinced he's a one and done, but as we improve our offensive chemistry, and he gets better looks from three specifically, his averages and percentages might become too good for the NBA to ignore. Physically, he looks like a NBA guy.

I could go down the entire roster...I'm very excited about this team and the rest of the season...but I already know I'm going to get some "did not read" posts. lol
All in all, I'm excited to see where we end up in March as our chemistry improves and Muss and staff learn how to best utilize what he has in this team. We've won 2 games convincingly, both of which we arguably played poorly overall, and I'm just excited to see what we do when we hit our potential.

We know Smith is the starter, but what's the depth look like behind him? Comments from Pittman...

Noah Gatlin still questionable.

TJ Hammonds is full time with the RBS, "He's earned moore touches on the ball" He's had a good week

Hutch will be coming at you live tonight from BWA

I know I'm probably jinxing it just asking but I have looked and can't find a schedule anywhere. Has it been released yet? Thanks

I’d hire Billy and give him a shot over these average coaches being thrown around. The guy is an outstanding coach, and he’s cured a lot of his personal problems supposedly. Wouldn’t be my first option, but wouldn’t be a bad emergency plan IMO
