Hopefully, Turner put some demons to bed last night with his performance. Also, Fulkerson doesn't get enough credit. Guy plays hard and we are gonna need hi to play big.

Agree, especially with how timid and ineffective Alexander has been playing of late. Fulk is playing out of position for his build and skill set. I guess CRB didn't feel like he had any choice but to use him as a 4/5. He's actual a 3/4 with some talent to play on the wing, but has been developed to shore up the middle. He gives it his all.

If fulk could develope that outside shot he'd be dangerous. He's shown he can drive the ball but it's hard to do much damage when the defender is 6 feet away. He struggles with his back to the basket. He needs to improve, we'll need him next year.

Fulky has made some good plays lately. Still has his clumsy moments. I hope we don't regret not getting Walker more run here late. We need him for big body matchups.

Is it just me or does any game pay adams ref always a close frustrating mess?

Agree on every point. The non-use of Walker this season has been the most puzzling to me. Hard to develop a guy to play big in games when he sits the pine.

So pick between which to have in a big match up - Adams, Shows, Bayou Bengal, or TV Teddy? It would be shocking to not get at least one on the UK game. They may pass on Bengal as being too soon. You know the SEC office has got to make it hard with their darlings playing us.

He's got it, CRB doesn't want his 4/5's shooting it out there unless the possession clock is nearly gone. Give him an off season to know he is playing the 3/4 and you will see the difference, if it were to ever happen.

Out of the bunch I take Adams. I never thought he was that bad.

I think the fact that really good teams have trouble beating us at home...despite the fact we are in the midst of a three ball slump, and having sickness and nagging injuries to multiple key players says a lot about how good this team really is.

When you are a beating and even losing closely to really good teams at their home despite not playing anywhere close to your well established best...you are an elite team.

@HankHill is full of crap, at our regular best this is a top 5 team.

I said 6-10... that’s a damn good team. Good enough to even maybe make a title run.

I’m just 3 1/2 weeks into my cut and still adding weight on most lifts. Bench press has just hit a slow down though. I’m quite pleased with physique and strength progress. This is the easiest cut I’ve done, granted just 3 weeks in, but I’m sitting at about 11 1/2 % BF. Trying new strategies this time so that’s fun. Never do diet breaks but incorporating them this time around

Targeted ketogenic diet with intermittent fasting has done wonders for me personally. It's allowed me to cut for about 8 months without any dramatic drops in my training or strength levels. The only lift that's suffered is squat, I'm down from ramping up to 405 to 315. I've randomly been able push to 2-3 reps at 365 or 385 if I have the energy, but it's been a few months since I've gone much past 315 lbs. Bench is still good with no real appreciable drop, and same with deadlift. Considering I've lost 6" off my waistline since I started the cut, it makes sense why squat has gone down.

Personally TKD is great as I'm able to stay in ketosis, with the carbs being used as fuel for my workouts, but it all depends on what your goals are. The only limitation I've had with TKD is with my distance running training. Once I get past running 6-8 miles I hit the wall hard. Starting next week I'm going to begin the process of carbing up in preparation for running a couple of marathons over the coming weeks. To carb up for a marathon, you should be eating about 2000-2500 calories of only carbohydrates, to ensure that your glycogen in your muscles and liver have fully absorbed the carbs. The keto diet is going to end soon, as it's just not sustainable with my kind of training.

Rewatched Grant's game winning shot from last night, dude traveled big time. I think Grant has done enough to deserve no calls like that.

I think with the way that they let drivers get away with that Euro step or whatever it is now, it is debatable on whether it should have been called. I agree it looked like one but that type of move is almost never whistled for traveling.

More than anything, we need Kyle to get back to being that defensive presence and tough rebound getter he was earlier this season. Any scoring we can get is a bonus, but he needs to get back to how he was playing in January.

Should've stuck with baseball. Anybody see these contracts being signed recently? Have to make it to the bigs of course but much more to be made there.

He will make more money in the nfl for the first 7 years guaranteed. Not even counting endorsements of being a franchise QB. I’ve done that minor league grind it’s awful.

We are top 5 quality. Just because a couple guys are in a slump doesn't change that. When you can beat good teams on the road, and play no where near your best...you are an elite team.

The way i see it is we’ve played 4 games that are elite 8 level imo. We are 1-3 in those.

Kansas
Gonzaga
Kentucky
LSU

Kansas at the time we played them would beat anyone in the NCAA. Gonzaga in my opinion is the best overall team, but I think 3-5 teams could and would beat them if each team played their best ball due to Gonzaga having injuries.

Kentucky was probably the worst we have played all year against a top tier opponent.

LSU was a pathetic effort on everyone’s part.

2 of those (the only) 3 L's come on the road. The other at a neutral site.
2 of those 3 also come in OT games where we didn't close the last 3 mins of regulation.

The outlier is the UK game. Thats the only game where the opponent left no doubt who the better team was that night.

If UK rolls into TBA and handles UT again in a similar manor you could argue just on previous outcomes that UT is not in that top group.

He wasn't on the track for the minor league grind. He was going to be wading through 250 million dollar offers in a few years. Guaranteed money, not those fake contract numbers like the NFL likes to throw out. There's more money in baseball and there is no argument there. Last I checked baseball players can still endorse things too. Not to mention the physical toll on the body. To each his own though.

I'm convincing myself the refs played a big part of losing to Kentucky. Kentucky should not have beaten Arkansas either but they are allowed to play however the hell they want. They came out and got away with every potential call possible, we couldn't play how we wanted to without picking up stupid fouls while they could. We had to shoot the lights out to have a chance and had an off night. We're going to kick their ass when they come to TBA.
