AN definitely playing like one of the best PGs in the country so far tonight in the 1st half. @tampajack1
Won’t start another thread, but Arkie is in a 1 point game in KC against Cincy too, five minutes left.
Arkansas had 18 offensive rebounds. Had a 1 point lead with a minute left, got three offensive rebounds to force Cincy into fouling, and took an charge on the other end to seal it. They are a tough team, but another good win for the conference,
If you didn't see Nembhard absolutely undress that kid you need to google it. He literally sent the kid flying backwards with a step back.
UCLA looked absolutely atrocious. Riding off that final 4 run into a top rank but probably a lot closer to the team that ended up in a play-in game. I do think Riley being injured hurts them a lot more than expected
That was nasty. He dropped another defender later as well with a quick jab step. @tampajack1 was vindicated last night! Happy to see AN have a good game.
Thanks! Looking at that clip, I was referencing the one @ 1:25 in my comment. For some reason I thought I remembered it being a jab step, but it was actually a beautifully simple right-to-left crossover. Not overly flashy, just a tight move with perfect timing. When you make the defender slowly fall to the opposite direction you know it's a good move. AN was dropping bodies all over the court last night, which is very hard to do. You are usually lucky to drop even one defender in a game.
In basketball, stepping on someone's foot does not absolve you of any embarrassment. It still happened.
