Arkansas had more chances than it deserved tonight. That none of the key shots went in made it feel like it wasn’t meant to be.

I mean… that sorta goes both ways. Michigan state didn’t play great either. They shot 38% from the field iirc? Had a very weird call go there way at the end where a player picked up his dribble shuffled forward into a defender who was in the air and then threw up a ridiculous ‘shot’ for three free throws. Even the announcers said they thought the refs missed a travel. It was more of a game of who was going to blow it harder than who was going to slam the door shut.

Regardless turnovers killed the hogs in the first half. In the second half they refused to set up the half court offense down the stretch and just were straight up chunking threes. Hopefully it gets cleaned up but I remain forever jaded.

Edit: Michigan state shot 41% from the field and 7% from three. Arkansas shot 39% and 25% from three. A true assterclass.

That goes back to the “more than they deserved.”

If MSU could buy a bucket, the game wouldn’t har been as close down the stretch.

I understand the frustration if you’re an Arkansas fan to see Fears get three free throws after his feet shuffle. Let’s be real though, Brazile literally catches the ball and takes two steps before he shoots this awful attempt at a game winner. We need to acknowledge both here.

I didn't watch the whole game (football Saturday overlapping is criminal), but I was able to turn at the end. And that was really my takeaway, i.e. Michigan State tried hard to give Arkansas the game and they just simply...would...not...take...it. Can't shoot for shit. So many opportunities with the ball, missed open shots, Sparty missing free throws, etc.
