Arkansas Beats Dawgs
Disappointing.
The Dawgs won't win if Trey Thompkins does not shoot well. Not sure where the wheels fell off the bus for the Dawgs, but we self-destructed in the second half. Up 15 at the break, and we lose by 4.
We're 9 and 11 on the year, 1 and 6 in the SEC.
Hats off to Pelphrey for instilling discipline in his team and getting his guys to play hard. Dawgs lose 72 to 68.

Arkansas vs. Georgia
Predicting a win by the Dawgs.
It won't be easy. Arkansas was playing terribly just a short while ago. They lost to Kentucky by about a million points. Somehow, Pelphrey has started to turn the season around. Arkansas beat both Mississippi and Mississippi State, and the team now stands at 3 and 3 on the year in the SEC.
Arkansas is a lot like South Carolina. No huge power players, but they will test the Dawgs.
Courtney Fortson is the Hogs' version of Devan Downey. Fortson is lightning fast. Scored 35 points to lead Arkansas to a recent victory. Rotnei Clarke is a bit like the Dawgs' Ricky McPhee. No range and no conscience. Clarke can shoot the three from way deep, and he has a quick release that is hard to defend. Occasionally Rotnei will drive into the lane for a runner.
Their big men are talented, too. Again, they're not very tall. Not heavy, but they're athletic enough to get rebounds, shoot turn-arounds and drive it to the cup.
Coaching I would have to call a toss-up. Fox is shaping UGA, but we don't have wins to show for it. Pelphrey has had a ton of turmoil on his roster, but he has a two-game SEC winning streak coming in.
They have the advantage in the backcourt. I think we have a slight edge in the post.
The key is finally getting home-court advantage. The fans will make the difference. Georgia wins by 12, 72 to 60.

Arkansas Loses to Morgan State
Can't imagine that the Razorback fans are too happy right now.
Morgan State is a good team, but the idea of Arkansas falling to one of these small schools is sure to be a hard pill to swallow for the Arkansas fan base.
Everytime I read something new about Arkansas basketball, it sounds like I am going through the archives of Coach Felton's tenure at Georgia. Coach Pelphrey is trying to instill discipline in his team, he has suspended some and dismissed some others.
By the time he properly calibrates his recruiting strategy, another coach will be brought in to run the team. Hope that's not true. But if the Felton example is any indication, Pelphrey will be gone by the end of next year.

Arkansas to be Short-Handed
I have posted links before about the problems over at Arkansas. I generally make just one reference to these kinds of stories, because I don't want the problems with some athletes to unfairly affect the tons of student athletes who do the right thing and represent their schools well.
Nevertheless, I am posting this article because all of the links to the earlier stories at Arkansas seem not to work anymore. Maybe Yahoo will keep the attached article out there on the Net a little bit longer.
My concern is that in the sports culture of "win at all costs," a man like Pelphrey will not last long as a coach. He either wins soon, or expect him to be gone by the end of next year.

Replacement Link for Pelphrey Post
I couldn't get the link to work in the Pelphrey post either, so thanks to Anonymous for bringing the issue to my attention.
Anyway, the attached article is a bit longer, and though it has a slightly different tone, hopefully it gets the same general point across.
