While I'm not saying they are or aren't dancing I wouldn't make a snap judgement after 3 conference games.

Going 0-3 and being in last place doesn't help confidence.

Ok so called St. John's fans who disloyally, disgracefully, embarrassingly and humiliatingly (to yourselves) denigrated the greatest player and most important figure in our programs history; meanwhile anointing CFC our savior before he accomplished ANYTHING on Union and Utopia...WHAT IS GOING ON?

Our front court is getting manhandled in conference play. This compounded by poor PG play.

This team really needs to figure themselves out. Heron needs to get out of the dog house and start leading this team.

He can’t get his two best players looks. Heron was twice named all SEC in the postseason. Figgy was a stud last year. He only gets wild 25 footers off the bounce this year.

Explain what happened last year idiot.

Mullins problem was he showed more allegiance to Mitch and St. Jean opposed to the University. If he wasn’t willing to change he needed to go.

Contrary to what the know nothings may want the board to believe, this is a rebuilding year. We have the worse roster in the conference by far. It doesn’t matter that we have a couple of good pieces when the totality is severely lacking.

Dave you are spot on. Our Bigs get pushed around like high school kids playing against men. Sears got swatted by Mcclung underneath the basket, which was so embarrassing. I do not get why Heron and LJ have been so bad. The thing I keep coming back to is that most teams focused on ponds last year which gave them plenty of open looks. They also had another threat on the perimeter las year in Clark.

This teams offense court offense is the worst I have seen in quite some time. Their first halves consist of no set plays and passing around the perimeter until the shot clock winds down and hoist an outrageous shot. When we aren't forcing turnovers with our press we can't score.

We have had poor point guard play and no big man to post up down low. Having a big man to post up and be able to score would open up a lot more for the other players.

Heron is a kid that excels in structure. There is none of that here and reasonable Arkansas fans all say that won’t change.

Anderson wants chaos and to make it dirty. He can get more out of an extremely athletic and long player than a skilled guy.

LJ isn’t afraid to take ridiculous 25+ threes off the bounce and can get some points that way.

The Arkansas guys say Anderson is awful on the road. That makes sense since it’s easier to create chaos at home with the fans on your side.

I think we’ll be better next year with lesser players than Heron and LJ that fit what he wants to do.

You also said we’d be bad next year because Anderson couldn’t replace Heron and LJ.

I don't know, you seem to get it. The ball movement is atrocious and except for Dunn no one can create their own shot and he can create them but can't make them. I love LJF but he's checked out - he either throws up that dopey runner or takes a 40 footer. Heron's Marvin Clark two point oh. The rest of them didn't get recruited for a reason.

The OOC was fool's gold - a bunch of three star misfit toy underclassmen bullying a bunch of no star recruits based on size and speed. They beat WV by two at home in a game where they shot 15 more free throws (speaking of blaming the refs Jethro) and squeaked by Arizona who was looking past a patsy ahead to Arizona State. Bottom line, they're not very good and Iron Mike isn't making them any better.

Our bigs get push around when they get pushed around. Other times, like with WV and Arizona, we did the pushing.

I see a team that isn’t working together. LJ is taking way too many shots.

Lastly, barely mentioned, but Williams is a much bigger loss than Heron. He does a lot for the team.

Agree on Williams loss being bigger than discussed.

Not sure we can afford spreading LJs shots around. As wild as some of his runners can look he’s had more than couple unlucky bounces.

This is actually true. But instead of losing by 40 plus and giving up a 100 points. The boys played a much better second half. Certainly not good enough. But better then laying down and quitting like we did the last 4 years.
If this team loses. It doesn’t make coach Mullin look any better. It just shows the basketball community how far behind we are because of that lazy bum.
But congrats to the mullintards. You guys deserve to get a victory. Even if it’s in your own heads.

I think he's capable of playing there but between him and Champagnie they are beyond dreadful. There is no rebounding what so ever.
