Re: MBB vs Arkansas State, Sunday, March 10, 6 p.m. ET, ESPN+, Pensacola Bay Center, Pensacola, Fla., Sun Belt semis
Didn't we lose Huntley either last year or the previous year in the tournament? Did the Arky coach play possum a week ago and basically give us that game? Pretty sure I saw something about Ark State not having 2 of their players last week. Did we play possum? No. Plan for the first meeting always w...

Re: MBB vs Arkansas State, Sunday, March 10, 6 p.m. ET, ESPN+, Pensacola Bay Center, Pensacola, Fla., Sun Belt semis
A win today would go a long way towards an NIT opportunity. And wins today and tomorrow should put us on the 12 line in the Dance. Go App! Any idea why the conference regular season champion no longer receives an auto bid into the NIT if they don't win the conference tournament? Because the SEC and...

Re: MBB vs Arkansas State, Sunday, March 10, 6 p.m. ET, ESPN+, Pensacola Bay Center, Pensacola, Fla., Sun Belt semis
As mentioned, we did rest many of our top players for longer minutes than usual last week since the game meant nothing on our end, and we were pretty banged up going in. They'll all play today, the only concern is Caleb Fields, who looked off all day yesterday, and sat most of the 2nd half. With lea...

Re: MBB vs Arkansas stAte, Friday, March 1, 2024, 6:30 p.m., ESPN+, Holmes Sweet Holmes, finale, #1 Defense v #1 Offense
Got to be tough to play in filthy Conway and then have to play up in the beautiful mountains two days later. Arkansas State is as hot as us right now, but we at least have the advantage of being 9 deep and having a home stand. Its the toughest possible road trip in the conference. One game at sea l...

Also, TDog, we run an 8-10 man rotation now. I think you are missing Hicks, who missed most of the season to injury but returned two weeks ago. He now starts in place of Dominguez, Dominguez, Julian Lual, and Avery Felts come off the bench regularly. Every single one of those 8 players has had multi...

Re: MBB vs Arkansas stAte, Friday, March 1, 2024, 6:30 p.m., ESPN+, Holmes Sweet Holmes, finale, #1 Defense v #1 Offense
This is the kind of team that can cause problems for us. They're quick and shoot from the outside, neutralizing some of our defensive strength. I can see some matchup problems for us on defense. A matchup of the league's best offense v. the league's best defense. Should be a good one. We certainly ...

Does ArkSt take it easy since they have 4 seed wrapped up and can't improve? Unsure. Both of our top players in Caleb Fields and Izayah Nelson are banged up right now and could use a rest. Fields has been playing with a pulled Groin for a couple weeks. In every sense of the word, he needs a rest, b...

Re: Butch Jones new coach at Ark St.
This happened insanely fast. The quiet rumor in Jonesboro had been the school and Blake had been working on a way to amicably separate for a while, and we waived his buyout so Utah State could come in. Makes me think we already did a lot of the vetting on this before we even announced Anderson's dep...

Re: Hi Everybody
It bit us versus UNCC and Marshall. Well we do it every time, while wrinkling in squib kicks and other kicks we want returned. I think we've kicked it into the end zone less than 5 times this year, mostly during the UCA Game where there was a 20 mph sustained wind and everything with the wind trave...

Re: Hi Everybody
I can’t stand the short kick on kickoffs, especially with a defense like we have, blows my mind. Our fans hate it too, but statistically, there's no difference between booting it out of the end zone and pooch kicking it and having it fair caught at the 27. One gives you a chance at recovering a fum...

Re: Hi Everybody
And, maybe kick a field goal when necessary with success. Our 14 year old kicker is certainly capable of booting one through the uprights if needed. But given we're often having to match TD for TD with teams, we don't see him much outside of extra point attempts As for whoever mentioned kickoffs ea...

Re: New Head Coach - Eliah Drinkwitz
The Arkansas State perspective: Was hired by Malzahn in 2012 as Tight Ends coach. I believe he played High school ball in Arkansas. Took a GA role at Auburn. Followed Gus here. Started as Tight ends coach. When Gus left for Auburn, he left Drink high and dry here. Essentially Harsin kept him on staf...

Re: Troy or stAte?
Putting conference champion talk aside what I worry about is whether this type of beatdown makes the pollsters hesitant to rank a Sunbelt team in the future. That's on Troy if so though. They spent so much time running this #RankTroy nonsense that when they finally got ranked, the players acted as ...

Re: Troy or stAte?
Had a feeling stAte would win. Shocked by the margin. Honestly had forgotten this game was on, so I haven't seen a second of it, but you'll never convince me our game with Troy didn't have an effect on this one. it was a carbon copy of the game we played in Boone last year. Ugly first half. Neither...
