Maybe but there also might be a very small crowd for a road game as well.

Can't wait for Buzz's second by second recap of the travel difficulties during his post game press conference.

"Coach how much did being on the road and the Arkansas crowd affect your team?"

"Well we loaded onto team bus 1 at precisely 11:30:27 on Monday and proceeded to Easterwood Airport……"

Disadvantage?! You know how much extra time this is for team building?

This round of "I spy" could be what puts this team into the Final Four.

Also we need to play this game. It's a house money game.

I would hate to see it cancelled but this is bound to be disruptive. It's already a shorter turnaround and this is making it worse.

They tried to land in Tulsa last night, but were not allowed to and diverted to Wichita. Not ideal, but they've dealt with travel changes before. Biggest impact is actually on the managers/staff who do all the loading, unloading, logistics, etc. Players and coaches will be fine, just have to deal with a change in timing.

I've been on enough of these trips to know that the players mostly sleep while traveling anyway. Imagine they got some rest on the plane and bus last night. Same this am. They'll need to figure out shootaround because that probably would have been early this am. Otherwise they adapt.

Now, if they have to get on a train at some point, all bets are off............

Hmmm. Sleepy/tired managers and staff?

I hope the players are just gonna sleep in their road game uniforms to ensure we avoid starting out against Arky down 1-0 before tip-off!!!

…They were thinking of taking a train to Fayetteville but turns out train don't run out of Wichita unless you're a hog or a cattle.

I see what you did there…

I wonder if the ref crew has made it in yet.

They are going to use high school refs. Two of their nephews play for Arkansas.

Sam Pittman and some of their football coaches are an option.

My Razorback buddy who will be attending just texted me that parking is first come first served tonight. He thinks that is an indicator of low crowd expectations.

Not sure what that means - first come first served? Isn't that how parking always is? I showed up late to the last home game and ended up in overflow across the street. I wish I had shown come earlier and been served up a spot near Reed....

probable means they will not have any parking attendants. So no pay parking or reserved parking, first come first serve

That makes sense and a good move on their part. MIGHT encourage a few more fans to show up and more importantly would suck to ask those attendants to stand out in the weather.

Sleet started pouring down about 20 minutes ago in NWA. Won't be letting up for at least 3 more hours.

Leaving the house at 4 to take the 15mile journey to BWA to yell loud for the FTAB team..it ought to be a show on the highways. Wife is mad I am taking our two sons…scored awesome seats last night when people were leaping out of the boat after the ice storm…

Find one of these to sit next to and scream the entire time. It will sound great to the tv audience.

Remember to have your kids screech at the tops of their lungs during Arkie free throws. I think that works.

Sorry; I wasn't clear earlier hacking this out on my phone. Y'all got it. Unlike Reed, they have small lots around the Bud, and it is reserved parking. Sounds like they are just letting people park as close and as soon as you can.

Team was exhausted. Surprised they even played. Fortunately they didn't get blown out.
