This is as close to a must win as you can get for Arkansas. The last half of the schedule is brutal, away games with A&M, UK, Tennessee, and Alabama, along with home games with UK, Florida.

The starting guards have also been playing a lot of minutes, Council IV played 39 minutes @Baylor and 40 minutes vs. LSU, a game they won by 20 and were winning at half time by 24.

this team has a lot more talent than Auburn with the #2 recruiting class and 3 future pros in the backcourt

Aggies +5
Total is 140.5
Just Win on the Road! Keep winning the ones we are supposed to win and a few that were not! This would be a nice road win.

This will be a tough road test for the Aggies but a winnable game . That arena will be rocking and we just need to silence the outside noise. An early lead can help with that.

Presumably won't be rocking any more than the 28-home winning streak Auburn gym was last Wednesday night.

---

Bud Walton is a different vibe. Haven't been to many gyms louder than that one. Now hopefully Prop Joe is right about the weather affecting attendance but when full and Arky is playing well that is probably the toughest environment in the SEC.

We may need a Pat Adams type to give us some favorable road calls.

One thing's for sure: If we pull off the victory, their fans will blame the refs. Muss has rubbed off on them, and they are the biggest bunch of crybaby losers. I hope we win, and dare I say, win big enough to shut them up.

Spot on. Was discussing this last weekend. Arkansas has never been bested by ANYONE. Either they win or they get cheated. Ref conspiracy theories every game they play. Brother in law was reading tweets toward the end of the Baylor game and every post was blaming the refs. It was painful. May chicken face, midget Musselman be furious tomorrow around 8pm.

Auburn has a better coach. He's actually won something before.

Cause we never blame the refs for losing

You can point out poor officiating without saying that made us lose a game.

Not sure the arena will be that rocking -- going to be 24 degrees with a wintry mix at tip. Anyone not in the area likely isn't driving in for this one.

---

Last Tuesday they had a winter storm and closed the campus classes and offices at noon but still played the game Tuesday night against LSU and had 19,200 sellout. I expect the same despite the weather

Sellout can often be a bit different than a rocking house. Most of Arkansas' reserved seats are sold as season tickets so it's practically always a sellout.

But even that being ssaid, while it was a "winter storm" last Tuesday, it stayed above freezing practically all day and had minimal precip and no accumulation. Anyone that wanted to get to the game would have no issues doing so, it was just cold.

Tomorrow it won't get higher than 25 and precip all day long until tip-off. The question will be if anyone can actually get to the game. Completely different animal.

Officiating directly impacts basketball a lot more than other sports though. And the foul differential in the second halves of Arkansas' last 4 losses is pretty staggering so I can see why some fans would think that way.

Muss being so animated probably doesn't help, I can see refs being more inclined to call things against him simply for that. The team this year seems to have developed a bad reputation among ref crews.

Line down to +4.

BTHOpiggies!

Road wins are hard. But not impossible!!!

And yet it has not really made much of a difference thus far. And BTW they lost to Auburn 72-59.

But they are playing better lately and underperformed teams with talent are always dangerous

Just ask LSU's football team

They definitely had reason to cry about the refs against Baylor. That was an extremely one sided second half from the refs in Baylor's favor.

---

I'm so tempted to go copy statements by Mr. Hoss during our games about people crying about the refs. This is the ultimate irony or hypocrisy. Sorry, but would you want to explain how refs can cause a game to be won or lost for them but not us? Not that anyone the refs have caused a loss by us, they haven't.

It's time to take this one!!

Line is now A&M +3.5

Money moving to Ags.
