*****Texas @ Arkansas - Hoops Games Thread, 8:00 PM Tip on ESPN2*****

[lakeman74]

Texas and Arkansas will tip on the hardwood tonight in Fayetteville at 8:00 pm. Game will be televised on ESPN2.

This game, as are the remainder on the regular season schedule, are important. Rodney Terry's crew sits as one of the "Last Four In" projections in Joe Lunardi's Bracketology. They really need to win all four games but could skate in the dance with a 3-1 record and a win or two in the SEC Tournament.

If I remember correctly, Arkansas beat us pretty good in Austin, and I’m a tad worried about tonight.

 

[Sirhornsalot]

Arkansas has really improved under Calipari.

42-30 Hogs at the half.

Pryor needs to play more minutes.

 

[Sirhornsalot]

Texas holding on but not making up much ground. Down by 9 midway through second half.

 

[Sirhornsalot]

Tra Johnson taking over.

Texas down by only 3 now late in the 2nd half

 

[Sirhornsalot]

Texas has pulled ahead 69-68 with 1:04 remaining.

 

[Sirhornsalot]

And we're into overtime. 69-69

 

[Sirhornsalot]

Tra Johnson is a monster
Shedrick having a nice game
Pope playing well.

 

[tejasrulz]

Texas had their chance, just couldn’t close

 

[Sirhornsalot]

Arkansas wins in OT 86-81

Johnson had 30+ points. He sank some awesome, timely shots. But he also had a critical turnover just before end of regulation.

This completes the sweep of Texas by Arkansas on the season.

Johnson is all Texas has. The problem is he's inconsistent, like you stated. If Terry stays for next year, this team without Johnson will be even worse than this year.

It will definitely be a full team rebuilt for whoever is coaching next year.
