That is a technical foul 99.9% of the time in college ball. What’s the 0.1% of the time that it’s not you ask? When refs are scared of the home crowd’s reaction
.
We made our last 8 free throws. We typically would miss 4 of those. That was the difference as well as the dunk by Tolu and the bang miss and put back by Matthews.
Matthews not fouling out with 4 fouls was YUGE.

Wasn’t pretty in the 2nd half. Thought Jans could have called a couple of TOs to stop momentum but he trusted his team.
we had some crazy shots that went in during the 2nd half when Arkansas decided they were taking away the paint. They can be a bit sloppy with the dribbling at times but I really like the 2 man game that Davis and Moore use with Tolu when we really need a score.

Blitz, you mad bro? We hit free throws in the end and won the game. Hail State!!
Don't you worry, we have plenty of fans willing to show up for Kentucky. They'll even wear blue.
Faculty-Staff section will be full of Blue
Jans radio postgame; “please, please, the fans who are holding tickets and can’t make it to the game get in touch with us. Call us, Email us, anything so we can get your tickets in other Miss State fans hands.”
KY fans will certainly fill empty seats, but they might be less inclined to do so on a weekday game way down in Mississippi. If they do, most will likely come from Memphis. Heck, we might even pick up a few Memphis fans that still hate Calapari and hope to see him go down in flames again.
Ricky Council had 37 minutes, one basket and 13 points. He's averaging 17 points a game. Who was covering that guy?
Yall need to learn what it means to spike a ball. Black jumped around in disagreement and bounced the ball between his legs as he jumped away in frustration. The ball didn't even reach 5' off the ground after he bounced it.
It was an overreaction by Black. The foul wasn't on him though. There are 0 times where I want that to be a technical. The ball doesn't even reach Black's shoulders.
Thank Sports God for Jans, Zelman and Arnett. Anyone selling their STATE tickets to KY needs to be shot on site.
A different perspectiv.
From a upigg fan: “I have already counted 40 bad calls in this game with 90% going against the hawgs”. Amazing how that works.
Some of you experts share if you will how long it's been since we got a win with of that magnitude during a regular season.
I'm thinkin' the spread was bigger @ Pig. Check me on that in case I'm wrong. If right, not only did we beat a team that was favored more over us but we also did it on the road. @pig > TCU Home Game.
Richard Williams told Jan’s, post-game, he never won a game at the Walton Arena. Great win.
Big win, for sure. The Dawgs played great - even in the second half as Arkie was trying to mount their comeback. We had some hiccups that they made us pay for, but they are a good team. Still, we looked better yesterday throughout the entire game
Well, Richard was typically playing against 40 minutes of hell, so I'll cut him and his teams some slack
It is so much tougher to win on the road in college basketball. I think we were actually favored to beat TCU, or we were at least only 1-2 point underdogs. I think this Arkansas win is by far our biggest win of the season and biggest win in several years. Howland’s teams never won road games against anyone with a pulse. NCAA Tournament teams win road games against quality opponents. We proved that we can do that. We’re in a good position now as long as we take care of business at home.
And by mounting their comeback, we’re of course talking about the refs handing them 16 FTs over a 12 minute period in the 2nd half. It’s hilarious to thing about Hog fans feeling like they got cheated, but I wouldn’t expect anything else
