You should be more mad at Bruce Stephens and Breein Tyree. They were legit fouls. Never should we have put ourselves in a position to draw the foul. Burnett was a big reason we won but I’m getting sick of seeing him selfishly take possessions that end up with a fade away brick from 27 feet out

Late posting about the game but we got dominated down low. Olejniczak having more fouls than rebounds and points combined is a problem. If that isn't corrected soon we are going to get beat a lot in SEC play. Happy we won though this was a game we would've lost early in the season. Something to build on. Nice not playing UK first

Let's be honest, guys, losing to a 9-3 Georgia team on the road wouldn't be considered blowing it unless of course we are leading by like 10 with a minute to play and don't win. The realist in me really wants to win the home game Saturday. As for tonight's game, I have very, very low expectations.

It’s hard to watch our bigs matchup against these guys. We might set a record for most dunks given up by a team, not to mention 3 point play opportunities. Rebounding is slightly better but that’s not saying much.

That being said if we took better shots and some start to fall we are right back in it.

Sad but as poorly as we shot we had a chance this game. Game was decided by how terrible our bigs played on defense. 3 point plays absolutely killed us.

I don't get why we can't penetrate the paint and have to settle for so many 3 point attempts.

There are a lot of things I don't currently get about this team, except for one thing I'm sure of: If you live by the 3, you will die by the 3.

Yep, and teams like Duke usually capitalize with that motto (unlike us...)

I feel like we’ve shot poorly every game.

Like I said earlier, I didn't expect to beat Georgia so yes, not getting blown out was something at least. It feels like Georgia is our basketball version of what Arkansas is in football.

Good win for the Rebz. Good confidence booster as we get into the meat of our conference schedule.

Can’t say that the whole game was fun, but I’m glad I stayed the whole game. It was worth it to see the pissed state fans around me storm out. Man they hate losing to us in basketball. Especially 8/9.

Where were you? We had a butt load of State fans near us in the nose bleeds in 212. They was real mad. Lol

A few I walked out with were hot, and I was dangerously close to giving it back to them I'll admit. Discretion is indeed the better part of valor, however. A fistfight after a basketball game where quite honestly neither team is anything special wouldn't have made much sense.
