    I know the answer is we play and beat whoever is against us but I think Arkansas is who we want in the next round. I always want to see us crush calimari

    We can beat either. Texas Tech can shoot lights out at times though. Think I’d rather stick with the devil we know.

    Both teams are good. Gators might have already defeated the two biggest threats in the region. Play Gator ball and win, but it might be better to play TT, as Ark has some mojo and players back. Bottom line: Those teams are wishing that UConn or MD would have won but . . .

    Arkansas is a talented team but has low basketball iq. They play a lot of street ball (a Calipari staple). Tech runs a much more sophisticated offense but I don’t know of they can score with us unless they hit a ridiculous amount of threes.

    Our women’s team beat Tex Tech today, so let’s go ahead and beat their men’s team too.

    I’d prefer Arky, for sure.

    We would beat Arkansas by double digits so it seems like an obvious answer. Their win against SJU was impressive but I was of the contention that St. John’s was a fraud all year. Texas Tech is a legitimately good team that absolutely could beat us, especially if we don’t stop with the turnovers.

    Didn't we beat a healthy Arky team? That was in January. Both teams are kinda different teams now.

    I have seen TT play yet. Bout to. I'd be relatively comfortable playing Arkansas again though

    Don’t forget we beat Arky at full health in Arkansas. We are good here if they pull the upset.

    I might be mistaken, but thought that they had a couple players out for most of the season.

    Ok, thanks. I thought their guys were down throughout the SEC schedule.

    Does not matter who we play Saturday. This is our game plan: "To crush our enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women!“

    Either one. We already know we CAN be Arkansas, haven’t played TT though so pick what you want to prove I guess. I’d rather Arkansas win and move on to keep the SEC hype alive which boosts our stock since we dominated the conference. But the other hand says I’d like to see us be the one to put these other conferences down

    I would rather play Arky, plus I have money on them tonight.

    Man I know it off topic and it would be a National title game but Duke looks like an all time squad. These dudes are playing lights out. Flagg is worthy of the hype.

    Yea, duke looks very good. Watching while texting with a friend who is an Arizona alum. First half was close but Dookies now up 15 at the 10 min mark. Might want to triple team Flagg. :eek:

    Arkansas. I want to see Nelly Davis and Martin face off to see which one can make it back to the Final 4. Golden from Michigan could get back there too. That FAU squad was special!

    Kind of like the last elite 8 they made. Playing a lower seeded SEC team. Let’s hope this year ends differently!

    Texas Tech on a massive run. Arkansas lead down to 3. A lot of bad 3 point shots by Arkansas.
