No Chance: Baylor 70, Arkansas 47

by Stephen Expat on Dec 30, 2009 11:07 PM CST in Arkansas Razorback Basketball

Actually, the Hogs gave the illusion of having a chance when they entered intermission trailing Baylor by only three points, 34-31. But with Courtney Fortson still out and Michael Washington limited to nine ineffective minutes by a bad back, it was only a matter of time before the Bears opened a can of whup-ass. And that they did in the second half, outscoring Arkansas 36-16.

As they have so, so many times over the last two seasons, the Hogs allowed their opponent to shoot like all-stars from behind the three-point arc. Tonight, Baylor made seven of its 15 three-point attempts (47 percent).

Hopefully, Fortson will be back soon. If he isn't and if Washington's back woes continue to flare up, many more nights like tonight are in store for these Hogs.

16 points in the second half?

16? I don’t even know what to say.

Not a very good basketball team

We’ve only got 2 guys on the floor that even look at the basket on the offensive end. Clarke and Powell. And Clarke generally has to shoot it from half court in order to get a shot off.

Those 3 kids that are Juniors in high school down in the state will hopefully all sign with Arkansas. But even still, there’s a season and a half of bad basketball yet to be witnessed by us and then they’ll all be true freshman of course if/when they do arrive.

I’m not on the fire Pel bandwagon at this point. I think the only way you fire Pelphrey is if you can be sure that you’re getting Mike Anderson to come back and take the job but that’s far from a guarantee.
