Games like today are the reason I should leave the soothsayin' up to our resident manic-depressive, alcoholic womanizer.
Not less than 48 hours after I basically declared their season over, the Razorbacks showed boatloads of grit and character this afternoon by rallying from a 17-point first-half deficit to defeat the Auburn Tigers 77-71 and notch their first road victory of the season. There were heroes galore: Rickey Scott, who led all scorers with 22 points; Mardracus Wade, who added 18 points; Brandon Mitchell, who turned in a fine all-round performance with 10 points, six rebounds and three assists (all career highs); and B.J. Young, who shook off a mostly sluggish effort to contribute some big, big baskets down the stretch.
And here's another stat to warm your heart: Arkansas shot 78 percent from the charity stripe, sinking 18 of their 23 free-throw attempts.
The dream of an NIT bid ain't dead yet. Go Hogs!
Enough from me - what are your thoughts?

Stephen, I’m Greatly Enjoying the podcasts—particularly the Eugene Nash one, the one with Blake Eddins, and the interview with the 40 Minutes of Hell guy—keep up the fine work!
