FAYETTEVILLE — The Arkansas Razorbacks (12-7, 1-5 SEC) finally earned a win in Southeastern Conference play Wednesday night with a 68-65 victory over the Georgia Bulldogs (14-5, 2-4 SEC) behind late heroics from Adou Thiero.

Arkansas did most of it damage on offense via the free throw line, as the Razorbacks were 29-for-34 at the charity stripe in the game. The Hogs shot 18-for-58 from the field and 3-for-23 from three against the Bulldogs, who Arkansas out-rebounded by 10. The Razorbacks had 18 offensive rebounds and a season-high 33 second chance points.

Thiero scored 17 points, seven of which came at the charity stripe, and had 11 points to make it a double-double performance. Freshman Karter Knox scored 13 points and added six rebounds of his own.

On to Baseball 2025. Can we get back there and win it?

I didn't want to be watching past baseball highlights and getting that itch for baseball right now but here we are after what looks to be another disappointing hoops season.

But Coach Dave Van Horn is our guy to the rescue and he is 110 percent Arkansas. He's been a constant for 22 going on 23 seasons here. He made us all care deeply about baseball. Coach Norm was here and started it all but he was here in the day when it was next to impossible to watch a game until Omaha. Coach DVH has been here through every dud football and basketball coach. His teams were the bright lights in 18 and 19 during so so basketball seasons and the horrific Chad Morris era. DVH gave us hope and gave us something to have pride in as hardcore fans of Razorback athletics. Every season cannot end in Omaha but he's taken us there around a third of his seasons here and every here since 2017 you had every reason to hope this this was finally the year that we win the whole damn thing as Phil would say.

Last two seasons have ended in big time disappointments but we had reason to hope. It seems like it has been a decade since we were in Omaha but that's a testament to the work Coach has done here in his long time. I've never wanted any other coach to win it as much as DVH. He 110 percent deserves it for making us feel all the feelings after basketball. DVH is the reason we get mad at the lack of hitting, pitching decisions, meltdowns in June. He gave us reason to care from Feb through summer. I know I'm on a tangent but you get nostalgic and excited that maybe this could be it. 2018 SHOULD have been it but somehow wasn't.

I am sure some have studied the roster. lineups, and rotations more than I have and have seen fall practices. Is there any reason to believe these guys can get us back to Omaha and give us a chance to win the whole damn thing? Can Gabe/Wood/Root/Cheese give our offense a chance to get things together for a run at what we've been craving since 1994?

30 team mega league, are we in or out?

On one of my gambling boards an Ohio St guy said that there is a push to move to a 30ish size mega league for football. The next day the NY times does an audio article that states the same. Say the number is 30, do we make the cut? Our lack of eyeballs in the state probably hurts us but you do get the entire state. Our tv ratings for 2023 were horrible. If you look at the locks it comes to about 20-22 teams then you have a big group fighting for the last 8-10 spots. Arkansas, Utah, Ole Miss, Missouri, UNC, Illinois, Virginia, South Carolina, Indiana, Wisconsin, Michigan State, Kentucky, Louisville, OK State, BYU, Minnesota, Maryland, Pitt, Duke. I think we are probably out in that scenario.
