Not to get to focused on shoulda/woulda...But this team is a robbery away from 23-4 right now...a made trio of FT's away from 24-3 right now...and a late game collapse OOC from being 25-2 right now...
We have 4 games left...Its great to know we have a shot at finishing 14-4 in league play, 26-6 overall for the regular season...2 wins in the SECt and we are 28-7 going into the big dance...
My question...Do you view this team as a 30 win team? Hard to fathom, but because of this teams road play, it's a possibility.

I'm not sure how they stack up against other college teams. I see mistakes every game and have a hard time thinking they're going to do much, but I have to remind myself that college basketball as a whole is on a pretty low level right now.

I just have trouble watching them and turning to a Duke, UNC, Kentucky, Gonzaga game and seeing how we are going to play well against them. The way some of these teams get back and in to competent defensive sets it's really going to mess up our offensive game. When our 3 ball goes cold, it gets very tough for us to manufacture points. When Portis goes against a big game equal to his skill level it's going to hurt us.
All that being said, we're going to be a tough out for anyone. We seem to be flying all over the court all the time and that's very hard for some of these talented/sets based teams to prepare for.
Still, better than I've seen Razorback basketball in over a decade, and I like that.

We're probably going to the ship.

Arkansas has won 8 or their last 12 SEC road games.
Arkansas won at the sad pad and the dump in the same year the first time since our first year in the SEC.

We're better than last year, which was better than the previous - so I've got no 'direction of program' complaints.
As far as the team this year, a couple of things do concern me. Streaky shooting on offense and second, too many times our defense lets someone drive all the way to the basket for a more or less uncontested basket.
If we don't turn the other team over, and we let them control tempo, we are in a tough spot.
I don't know how far we'll go in the tournament. I have no visions of us being a FF team this year. Depending on the seeding, we could be two and done. If we don't shoot well, we could be one and done.
If we made it to the 16 this year, I would consider it a very positive year. Anything beyond 2nd round would be icing on the cake.

I'd be thrilled with a Sweet 16 this year. We have some issues but on the whole we have looked fairly solid recently. It still looks good going forward.

Going to depend on match ups
I'd prefer to be in Gonzaga's bracket.

Why exactly? The record, winning on the road, higher RPI, Nolan forecast, what makes you think we are overrated?
This isn't an anomaly imho!

I just don't think that bodes well in a tournament scenario. What are the chances we play at a level high enough to beat teams like Kentucky, Duke, Kansas, etc. 5-6 games in a row? There are games where we played like absolute dogshit and scraped by because we're in the SEC. Let's be honest, our record wouldn't be so sparkling in the Big 12. Don't get me wrong, I think we're alright. But I wouldn't be surprised if we got bounced by a lower seed just because we have a shitty night on offense.

LOL like Kentucky, Duke, and Kansas haven't scraped by shitty competition this season.

We are a very good college basketball team. I watch a ton of college basketball as I'm big into gambling. Obviously I'm not an expert but there are several "numbers" that paint the Hogs in a very positive light.
To say Arkansas is over-rated is dumb as frick. Someone show me 15 teams better than Arkansas this season.
