[00:00:00] Speaker A: You're listening to the Whole Hog Sports podcast. And now here's your host, Matt Jones. Good bounce back performance for Arkansas on Saturday, beating Mississippi State down in Starkville, 88 to 68. The final score, Arkansas improves to 17 and 6 overall. They're 7 and 3 in the SEC and they go to LSU tomorrow night. Certainly LSU feels a little bit like a trap game and we're going to, we're going to talk about LSU more tomorrow. We'll have Anthony Christensen, who will be in Baton Rouge for that game. But you know, they played Arkansas hard. Maravich, a center, that's always a tough place to go. We say a lot of the same things about the Hump Humphrey Coliseum in Starkville. Arkansas hadn't won there since 2015 until they got the win the other day. Ethan Westerman covered it for us@whole hogsports.com and he's here now. Ethan, just what, what went right for him because this felt like kind of a, kind of an atypical road game. They've had so many trouble, troubles on the road this year, even with teams that you felt like they ought to beat, whether or not they beat him or not. This was very low maintenance, low, low stress. It felt like for the Razorbacks, yeah. [00:01:10] Speaker B: It was a little bit close, like at the very start. And then after Arkansas went like this 20 to 2 run, which anytime you go on a run like that, your defense has to be doing something right. So I think that's what stood out to me, first of all, is they played a little bit better defense. Um, but, but they go on that 20 to two run and it was kind of like coasting from there. I know that no coach will ever say that because they're always engaged and, you know, always, you know that runs can happen quickly in college basketball, but if you watch that game, it just didn't feel like the lead was ever going to be in jeopardy for Arkansas just because it was getting too many good looks on the offensive end. You know, it's one of, I think last year, a lot of times, you know, Arkansas really counted on its defense to win a lot of games to where, um, you know, a run, a quick run could happen for another team where they come back and, you know, maybe Arkansas's up 14 and in the blink of an eye it's 10 because the other team woke up and started hitting shots. This team, I think they score the ball so well that whenever they're going to flow like that, like they were at Mississippi State, I just didn't feel Like Mississippi State was ever going to be able to string enough, you know, stops together to, to really get back in the game. Arkansas was sharing the ball well. I think they ended up with 22 assists, which is a great number for them. I said this a few weeks back when Anthony was on here with me that I think for this team that's like the first stat I'm looking at at the end of the game is their assist numbers. Because I'm not saying that they can't win if their assist numbers are low, but I'm saying that when their assist numbers are high, they almost always do win. I think that's what stood out to me in this game was those assist numbers were high and they did it with a, you know, a shorter rotation than usual, which I'm sure we'll get into. [00:02:38] Speaker A: And the assist numbers are high. I feel like whenever you're working the ball into the post, and this is the third time this year that they've scored 50 or more in the paint in an SEC game. They had 50 against Mississippi State. It's, it's weird. It's when they find that mismatch inside, it seems like they do a pretty good job of, of exploiting it. It's just a matter of not every game's going to have that kind of mismatch. [00:03:01] Speaker B: Yeah. And I mean, in a lot of these buckets were transition. Actually. I think their fast break points were kind of down, but it felt like compared to their season average. But it did feel like it was all dictated with just the drive and kind of getting into that downhill action. But, but I think about the run in specific in the first half and a lot of it was on the fast break because they were getting turnovers off Mississippi State throwing up lobs. They got a lot of stuff just at the rim and this team does that. I think Chris Jans mentioned it after the game too, that they're one of the high, like highest, you know, dunk percentage of field goals teams in America. And they definitely got their dunks again. And this one, they just, it just felt like anytime they, they attacked hard, they were. Something good was going to happen. Either they were kicking it out and hitting a shot or they were scoring at the rim. And I mean, they'd shot poorly from three point range, you know, the previous two times they had played. It's not like their percentage was great or anything against Mississippi State, but it was back to closer to normal. They were eight for 22. That's 36%. They just were clicking offensively it was one of those games that were. You just didn't feel like Mississippi State was going to have, you know, any, you know, real major adjustment to stop. And they were trying. They were like running junk defenses, you know, you know, maybe a triangle and two box and one whatever. They were trying different stuff to slow Arkansas down and it just. Nothing was working for them. [00:04:22] Speaker A: Arkansas had 20 shots at the rim this weekend or against Mississippi State. What do you make of this is two years in a row where they've had that midweek off and then they've come back the next week and looked like a totally different team. Now, I shouldn't say totally different because they've been really good offensively this year, but certainly you think they played a lot better against Mississippi State than even they played against Kentucky in their home arena the week before. You know, like last year, I think they played OU on a Saturday night and then they had the weekend between lost to them. Weekend between. They went to Rope and that was. That's a unique game, obviously with, With Caliper's return. But you know, again, like Kentucky didn't play necessarily very well. And then they turn around and they came back and had a very high, efficient performance against Mississippi State. Anything you take away from having the extra time to prepare for the games and now two years in a row having a really good performance after it. [00:05:22] Speaker B: Yeah, not terribly much. I think any team will like, rest is good to get to focus on yourself in practice instead of the quick, like, know, turnaround of, you know, all of a sudden you're, you. You do like your two days of practicing, scouting the opponent and your travel day and whatever. Like you get in that rhythm. I think, I think that, that that week of a buy is nice to just really probably hone in on. Like, here's some practices to focus on what we're doing, what we need to get better. And that probably has something to do with it. I will. You know, you got to give Kentucky some credit too, right now that they're playing well. Like, I mean, they had that loss to Vanderbilt that was incredibly ugly. So you can't just forget about that. But other than that, I mean, they've won how many of their last. They've won eight of their last nine games. Right. Like, Kentucky's doing a lot of things right right now. It seems like things are coming together for them. I'm not sure, you know, if it's going to be sustainable or if they're just kind of catching lightning in a bottle right now. But. But you do have to credit Kentucky was a large reason for the way Arkansas played the way they did the weekend before. But I thought that one thing that you could see was Kentucky was the more physical team in that game. There was no doubt about that. And that was, I think the real disappointment for Calipari, for Arkansas fans, was just to see Kentucky come in there and really win all the toughness stuff over you. Arkansas did a much better job of that at Mississippi State. I think that stood out, you know, right away. I mean, you out rebound them, which, it's easier to out rebound somebody whenever you're shooting a way higher, way higher percentage than them, but it just felt like they were being more aggressive. The block shots were a big deal in this game. Arkansas finished with seven of them, with nine or with nine. And Trevor Brazil had four, Isaiah Seely had three, which I'm sure we'll talk a little bit more about him. But they just did like kind of the tough things. Right. More than they did clearly against Kentucky. [00:07:07] Speaker A: You know, when I saw Sealy play early this year and granted it was in, you know, the back end of blowouts and then in some of those exhibition games they played. So I don't know how much you can take from that. I know Calipari said that his defense had a long way to go, but like there was hustle, there was energy, there was desire, want to there from him. And I had this thought at the beginning of the season whenever, you know, you heard Caliperi say those things about him and how he's, you know, he's got to do this to get into the rotation and whatever, I thought that there was a window for him to do that and sometimes, you know, no different than when Boogie Flynn got hurt last year and they kind of found themselves with DJ Wagner running the point. This is one game, we'll see what it means. But Isaiah SEELEY to have six points and what was it, one rebound, two assist, three block shots like you said, in 15 minutes he. Maybe they found something with Carter Knox and DJ Wagner being out that they can rely. I'm not saying he's going to be this big role player, but, you know, maybe he can give you five, seven minutes off the bench in a game. [00:08:10] Speaker B: Yeah, and I mean, that's what John Caliperi said. He, I mean he literally said we, I think we found ourselves another player and it's, that doesn't always mean like we found ourselves a guy that's going to play like you said, 15 minutes like he did against Mississippi State because they needed him to. But I mean, it is a guy that I don't think you're as worried about anymore. That's always the thing is there's the risk of putting in a guy who hasn't really gotten this action of, you know, how are they going to do in a really important moment. And I'm not saying Mississippi State wasn't an important game. It certainly was. It was one that Arkansas would have been bad to lose, but it was kind of a game that with, you know, it's not like you're without Carter Knox and D.J. wagner. You didn't have enough guys. Like, I still think they could have probably played this game without Isaiah Sealy and been fine, but they. They did get a chance to, you know, play with him. And he proved himself in that. In that opportunity. And now you don't feel as. Like, it doesn't feel like a risk to me anymore as much. I think that you could probably throw him in there for a few minutes in some of these bigger games and you don't think everything's going to just fall apart. What stood out to me is his anticipation. I feel like on the defensive end was really good. I mean, the three block shots were, you know, something that. To show for that. But it wasn't like just that they were blocked shots. It was how they, like how he blocked them. It was just really like nifty. I feel like. Like getting over in the right position and making the right play on the ball at the right time because, I mean, it's not like the tallest or longest guy. So to get three block shots, it's like he was having to be really good in anticipating things. I just thought that he did a really good job of kind of coming in there and asserting himself. He had a dunk pretty quickly into checking in too. So you just felt his presence. He wasn't like he was just out there to make sure we have five guys right now. He actually went in there and he did something. [00:09:52] Speaker A: We don't know if Carter, Knox and DJ Wagner are going to be available for the LSU game. We'll get the first availability report. I think tonight for that game, it might give us a little bit of insight into that. Did you get any sense, though, in listening to Caliperi over the weekend? Whether or not this is something that's serious is going to keep them out long term? [00:10:11] Speaker B: It doesn't seem serious at all. I mean, he's. I think he categorized their status for LSU game as probably questionable, but everything else surrounding this, it sounded like this isn't something to worry about too long term. I don't think it's something that we're going to be, you know, in a few weeks wondering if, if they're coming back. I think this is one of those deals that probably by this weekend I would expect the both way back. And I'm just basing this solely off kind of the tone of how people talk. We're talking about this and kind of the nature. You see them on the bench, they're in sweats and it's not like they have like they're wearing like a cast or something. You know, they're, they look very normal. And I just, I just don't think that this is a super severe situation. [00:10:57] Speaker A: Makes you wonder how, like how active practices were last week, how tough they were. [00:11:04] Speaker B: I think that that's my, honestly, my prediction is that it was probably just they had some really tough practices. And he said this with DJ Wagner. He said he's at like 80% and so he probably, you know, could have played. But he said the way that D.J. wagner plays, he plays so hard. You don't want to throw him out there at 80%. You want to because then, you know, he plays so hard that say you're at 80% health and then you tweak your ankle worse and now you're at 40. You know, he wants to get him back fully healthy, so where you can just go at his normal speed. I don't really know with Carter Knox, he didn't give like a percentage of health or anything there, but it just seemed like both situations are not long, you know, timetable.

All your glass market needs at Bentonville Glass. So you look at the SEC standings right now. Kentucky came back and beat Tennessee the other night. That's two times this year that Kentucky's really kind of ripped the Vol's hearts out. They're, they're a half game back of the SEC lead. And it weird how, you know, the SEC play starts and everybody's like, oh, you know, Florida, what's going on? Kentucky this. Look who number one, number two are in the SEC right now. Florida right there at 8 and 2. Kentucky a half game back at 8 and 3. And then you got Arkansas and A and M at 7 and 3 apiece. And a and M feels like A and M feels to Me like they're coming back down to earth a little bit. Not saying they're a bad team, not saying they're not going to be in the race at the end of the season. I certainly think they might be, but I just think that, you know, they played a couple of good teams here, Alabama and Florida. And you know, I think they probably had a little bit of a nice on ramp into the sec. What do you think about this SEC race after what happened this weekend? [00:12:58] Speaker B: Yeah, I think that's a pretty correct diagnosis of A and M. Because if you look at their early season schedule when they lost, you know, I think one of their first however many games that I would put a lot of these top end SEC teams against that schedule and say they're probably a one loss team, maybe some of them undefeated. I just think that they're getting to the meat of their schedule and it's not that I think that they're a team that will be able to weather this storm and survive it and be fine. It's just you have to take some of those lumps sometimes whenever the competition does increase. So I think A and M is for real, but I don't think they are like going to be into the day. Like I don't think they'll win the conference and I don't really think they'll be within a game or two at the end. But I do think that you're seeing now like the whole like you mentioned, like the preseason expectations, like why you don't hit the panic button too early. I do think Kentucky, like there was rightful reason to hit the panic button with them because it was how they were playing and it didn't seem like there were many solutions with the injury problems. But all of a sudden look at what they're doing now. I think that Florida, I was never writing Florida off. I just think that Florida, you know, they were a few sessions away from conference schedule. They were in the same boat as Arkansas. Honestly, where I was like you're a few plays going away from, you have some really signature wins on your resume and people have a different tone. I just think that you're starting to see, you know, the cream rise to the top or whatever the saying is. It's you're seeing the better teams be the better teams and I just think it's going to be a great finish. I think there's some teams also at the bottom still. Like I'm looking at Georgia, Auburn, you know, Texas to an extent that I think could maybe have a strong finish in Store one of them and make their way to the top. But I think for the most part, you look at the standings and you see the top half, and it feels to me like, okay, these are the teams. Now we finally have reached the point where I'm like, I think these are the contenders. [00:14:47] Speaker A: You look at Arkansas schedule that's left. They got eight games left, and again they're a game back of first place in the sec and they still play Florida. That's a big. That's a big deal. I think you can't afford to lose because you've already lost to Kentucky at home. And I never, and I said this a couple, three weeks ago, like I never expected Arkansas to go undefeated at home. I said I thought that they had a really good chance to win all their home games. But going undefeated at home is really hard to do. I mean, there's only been maybe two, three teams in the history of the Razorback program since they vote or at least since they've opened up Bud Walton that have won every home game. [00:15:22] Speaker B: I think there's 10 all time. But probably a lot of those happened. [00:15:25] Speaker A: Not in Bud Walton back at Schmitty's Barn or something when they played like Fort Smith High. And yeah, and this was a team. [00:15:32] Speaker B: That certainly was capable. I think they play Kentucky again and they might win. I think it's a pretty evenly like the teams are. And I just think that they're starting to hit that point where you can't afford bad road losses. [00:15:44] Speaker A: That's exactly where I was going with this is if you want to be. And this. And this has a direct impact or it has an impact on your incident. Blade tournament resume, too. You can't have these losses, you know, because, I mean, that's the difference between maybe being a 3, 4 seed and they tried to keep you close to home and, and being a 6, 7 seed and they send you out to. [00:16:06] Speaker B: You know, wherever San Diego is this year. I think the furthest one. [00:16:10] Speaker A: Is that. The farthest? I think, yeah, in my mind, I was thinking like Buffalo or Buffalo. [00:16:15] Speaker B: Yeah, Buffalo is also on the list this year, I think. [00:16:17] Speaker A: Look, look up the. Let's look up the list here for. [00:16:19] Speaker B: Let me read some of these cities. San Diego, Buffalo. [00:16:25] Speaker A: Arkansas went to Buffalo about four or five years ago, right? That's where they beat. [00:16:29] Speaker B: That's where they beat like New Mexico State, right? [00:16:31] Speaker A: Yeah, that's right. [00:16:33] Speaker B: Yeah. Tampa, Portland. Portland's far. Oklahoma City, that would be. You send Arkansas there and that's where. [00:16:40] Speaker A: The 94 team started its national championship. Run beat North Carolina, A and T and Georgetown. [00:16:44] Speaker B: Look at this trivia knowledge. St. Louis, it's pretty close. [00:16:49] Speaker A: Anthony might like that. [00:16:51] Speaker B: Philadelphia, Greenville, South Carolina, that's it. [00:16:57] Speaker A: Okay, so the point being that if you're a 3, 4 seed and they're trying to protect you and keep you closer to home, I mean, can you imagine a weekend if Arkansas is playing like a second round game in Oklahoma City. [00:17:11] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:17:11] Speaker A: Or St. Louis. I mean, that you can't get to that point with a whole lot of road losses and road losses to bad teams. And then even more pressing, you're not going to win the SEC after you've had this home loss to Kentucky. If you go out and you lose to an LSU on the road, most likely because there's still some hard games left. I mean, you look down the line next week, Auburn is here, or that's this weekend, Auburn is here. That's not an easy game. They beat the heck out of Arkansas when they played them down at their place a few weeks back. They go to Alabama. That's not going to be an easy game. A and M comes here. Not an easy game. They go to Florida. And so the point being they have. [00:17:51] Speaker B: Both games against Missouri. Still. Missouri's beaten Florida and Kentucky. [00:17:54] Speaker A: So they play Texas, who's like 6 and 4 in the SEC right now. And they've got Traymond, Mark, who. [00:18:00] Speaker B: Sure. Tramond. Mark would love to close. [00:18:01] Speaker A: He'd love to come back in here. [00:18:02] Speaker B: And on Arkansas senior day now, he'd love it. Yeah. [00:18:05] Speaker A: So anyway, you can't lose to lsu. I think that's the big takeaway. And, and have all of the things that you want to have that are potentially right there in front of you. [00:18:14] Speaker B: Yeah, exactly. And I think that you look at Arkansas's road slate, these are the remaining road games. [00:18:18] Speaker A: They're going to have to pick off somebody on the road. [00:18:20] Speaker B: At lsu, at Alabama, at Florida, at Missouri. I look at that and I say if you go two and two, you're feeling like, well done. [00:18:28] Speaker A: You're. You're feeling good. But. [00:18:30] Speaker B: But if you want to win the. [00:18:31] Speaker A: Sec, if you want to win the sec, you got to win at Florida or Alabama and then take care of your business everywhere else. [00:18:36] Speaker B: Yeah, I think two and two is. I'm saying that as far as, like, you're not really. I don't think so long as you play to your potential at home, you're not dropping your seed line or anything. I don't think. I think that if you want to win the sec, though, I mean, to Be honest, I think you maybe can afford one or two more losses the whole way. I think if you want to win the sec and even then that might not be enough. It's just such a. It's going to be one of those SEC races that I think comes down to the final day. That's just how I see this one shaping up. Unless Florida just really catches Demon, it looks like nobody can beat them. But I think Florida's, I mean they've proven they can drop a game here are there and they still have, you know, Arkansas and Kentucky on the schedule and for. [00:19:17] Speaker A: As well as Kentucky's been playing, they do have that 25 point loss at Vanderbilt that shows that they can be very in Vanderbilt. [00:19:25] Speaker B: I don't know if you saw. Did you see the highlights of Vanderbilt? Oklahoma? [00:19:27] Speaker A: I heard about this where. Oh you was up by like what, 20, 22 and yeah, I think 19. [00:19:32] Speaker B: Or something with like four minutes left and Vandy loses the game by one. It was crazy. [00:19:37] Speaker A: They did a three at a buzzer. [00:19:38] Speaker B: Yeah, they did. It's the final score was one. But I mean it's crazy. But all that to say you don't bring your A game in the SEC and you can lose to just about anybody. And I think that's the main thing is whatever team starts to like maybe just get serious if that makes sense. Like I think you have a lot of teams that are capable but which one's going to get serious and just take care of business because the winner of the SEC is usually the one who takes care of business on the days that you should. [00:20:06] Speaker A: Going back to Mississippi State game, I thought Trevin Brazil, that was about as good as you've seen him play in, in a few weeks now. [00:20:12] Speaker B: Yeah, he was, he was really good. I mean you kind of thought he had to be. I think just with the, the lineup Arkansas was going to have, you know where they went at times. Three bigs with Pringle Unan and Trevon Brazil. I think that you feel good enough about, you know, between Darius A. And Malik Thomas that they usually get their points. I mean they're the top scoring freshmen duo I think in the nation still. And then Billy Richmond, you kind of know what you're. You unpredictably know what you're getting there. [00:20:40] Speaker A: You're getting hustle. [00:20:41] Speaker B: Yeah, you're getting hustle and you're getting like he's gonna get some, you know, electric plays just because that's the players. [00:20:48] Speaker A: I was impressed with him. The fact that he only had two fouls because that's, that's kind of been the problem with him, is that he gets into foul trouble and. And his usage goes down. They only played what, 25 minutes? Yeah, 25 minutes, but 20, 25 minutes. That's a. To me, relative to how he's played this year. That is an efficient, you know, outing for him. [00:21:08] Speaker B: Back to back are really good games for him because that Kentucky game is, quite frankly, not even that close. If Billy Richmond doesn't play the way that he did in that, he was the. I thought he was the reason he kept Arkansas where they were in it. But it felt funny because I found myself doing what I did last season just because of how many they had available. Like the game within the game. The whole time is checking the foul count because you're like, okay, if somebody fouls out, what happens? Because last year whenever they were down boogie and ado there for a while and I think a v. Sit maybe missed some games. They, I mean, it was musical tears. We all know that last year, but they, they avoided it on Saturday. And that's really the key when you have a rotation like that is you can't be having guys in foul trouble or else it just feels like every possession kind of gets magnified a little bit more. But yeah, I thought Trevor Brazil was key. [00:21:58] Speaker A: Is this a just random little aside here? There's this, there's this term that I've heard thrown around. It feels like a lot more this year than I've ever heard before. The kill shot in basketball, the 10, 0 run or more. Am I just coming late to the party on this or is this. Does it feel like it's because they had a 13 nothing run the other day? [00:22:18] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:22:18] Speaker A: So there's the kill shot. Am I just. [00:22:21] Speaker B: I don't know if I've heard kill shot. I've heard like, similar enough. Like, I feel like people will say like, that's the dagger. I've heard dagger forever, but then also like, that's the knockout punch kind of that type of thing. But the kill shot. Yeah, I mean, I, I feel like I've never heard that and been like, oh, that's weird to say, but I haven't noticed it in an abundance of like, people are saying it more, but I think everybody gets the, the gist of the concept when somebody says that. [00:22:44] Speaker A: Though, what they call the coup de grace. [00:22:46] Speaker B: The coup de grace. [00:22:47] Speaker A: Yeah, and like the, like the death blow or something. [00:22:50] Speaker B: And I, I guess I'm going to take your word for it. I don't know much French bonjour is. [00:22:55] Speaker A: About my extent I said French. It may be a totally different. Who knows I'm showing my, my ignorance here. So tomorrow night Arkansas and lsu, we'll have Anthony on again to talk about this. From what you remember about the first time they played though, what needs to go different for Arkansas? Because they didn't. But like if you remember there about 25, 30 minutes of that game where it felt like LSU was like they were the team that was controlling how the play went. [00:23:22] Speaker B: Yeah, Arkansas can't let them get to the rim as easy as they did. That's what was the killer. I think the first time these teams played is it felt like LSU was just getting to the right spot too often where a lot of times like you just the anticipations just got to be better. I feel like in help side and you know, just stay in good old fashioned, stay in front of your man defense. I feel like that's the biggest, the biggest thing I do know LSU like, you know, a big key to that game was they got D.J. thomas, their guard back. He's played one game after that and how he's been unavailable again. So you don't know if they're going to have him against Arkansas. Obviously Arkansas has some injury concerns too. But like if they don't have him, I do think it changes the complexion of just how LSU looks compared to the first time. But yeah, the main thing is anytime you go on the road, it's a cliche because it's true. Your defense is what travels and if they play defense like they did in Bud Walton, I don't think they're going to win this game because you're going to. You aren't probably going to be able to make as many shots on the road as you do at home. Your shooting percentage just usually isn't as you know, Arkansas shot the ball way better at home. So they've got to play good defense on the road. And this is one of those that I think if you're Arkansas, you really want to. You honestly don't want it to look at all like the first game. You want to take it to LSU and you want to, you just don't want to even give them a chance. I think that you got to set a tone from the start, which Arkansas did against Mississippi. Stay with that big first half run. [00:24:40] Speaker A: All right, let's educate people here real quick. The coup de grace. This is Dictionary.com, a death blow or death shot administered to the end. The suffering of one mortally wounded or a decisive finishing blow. Act or event. So the 13 nothing. That was the coup de grace. [00:24:57] Speaker B: That sounds like something I would hear. Our good friend calls LSU games. [00:25:01] Speaker A: Olden Rollins. [00:25:02] Speaker B: Yeah, that sounds like something he would 100% say. I love a good Lynn Rollins broadcast. I got to hear one a few weeks ago for women's basketball, but yeah, I'm glad that we've been educated. [00:25:13] Speaker A: Yeah, it says it is French, by the way. I don't speak French, but I'm here for it. All right, Ethan, thanks for being here. You can find our coverage at Whole Hog Sports.
