LoyalZIP Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 The Razorbacks' only returnin starter is suspended until the second semester. http://www.arkansasfight.com/2015/11/16/9743418/anton-beard-reinstated-arkansas-basketball-suspended-fallThey beat Southern 86-68 in their first game. Transfer guard Dusty Hannahs went 5-7 from three in that game and sophomore forward Moses Kingsley scored 22 and grabbed 12 rebounds.

Blue & Gold Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 I see this game is on the SEC Network. Is there anyway we'll be able to watch this game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ace Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 (edited) Arkansas is kind of an example of the current college basketball landscape- they could've been really, really good this year if Bobby Portis (last year's SEC POTY) and Michael Qualls, their two best players from last year, hadn't bolted early for the NBA Draft. Qualls' decision especially was a head-scratcher as he wasn't even drafted and is currently bouncing around the D-League. Just shows you how impatient players are to start making money right away.The razorbacks seem to have one of those patchwork, makeshift rosters that you see at some low-level high majors, and I really think the Zips have a very good chance to win this game. In fact, I pretty much expect them to win. Hope they don't disappoint. Edited November 17, 2015 by ace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippyfan34 Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 Channel 611 on Direct TVThey have women's basketball at that time. Maybe it will be on 611-1 the overflow channel but nothing is on the program guide at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skip-zip Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 I smell another Mississippi State upset in the making This is a vulnerable team. And it pisses me off even more to know that they are already "preselected" to be in the Final 4 of this tournament. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZachTheZip Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 Arkansas is a guard-oriented team that likes to pressure the ball handler. Josh Williams may be a liability on offense.Defensively, our size and athleticism should bother them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 For Time Warner subscribers, the game is being broadcast on watch espn just like espn 3. Time warner has the sec network on channel 336 but they are showing woman's basketball. The game is being shown digitally just like our other games. It is just part of the sec network instead of espn 3. It would be nice if gozips would provide the link like they usually do for espn 3 games.

LZIp Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 (edited) Even if Arkansas isn't very good this season, them being in the SEC may play to our advantage when considering RPI. I don't follow real close.but you have Kentucky obviously, probably LSU this year, and maybe Florida. Outside of that the conference isn't very good which gives Arkansas a chance to get some Ws that a mediocre team in a better conference wouldn't normally get.

AyYo Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 Looks like we're 4 point underdogs. If we weren't playing on the road 48 hours after a game, I would say we would win. Since we are, I'm not sure what to expect. Also, if we had Noah, I would expect a win.http://www.vegasinsider.com/college-basketball/odds/las-vegas/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, I pretty much expect them to win. Hope they don't disappoint.In fairness to Qualls, he probably would have been drafted in the 2nd round had he not tore his ACL in pre-draft workouts.Not only did we lose Qualls and Portis but we also lost two more senior starters, had 3 players arrested for using counterfeit money, and one of our two signees didn't qualify. So we don't really know what to expect this year but we probably won't be that great.Jimmy Whitt is a highly regarded freshman coming in and we should be a good 3 point shooting team but we're just thin on big men. With our style we need a lot of depth which we may not have this year.I think this game could go either way. Our athletic teams have had trouble with MAC teams from Ohio lately lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With our style we need a lot of depth which we may not have this year.I think this game could go either way. Our athletic teams have had trouble with MAC teams from Ohio lately lolWelcome to ZNO.At Akron, we haven't had to worry about losing guys to the NBA early like Arkansas, but we feel your pain about losing guys to off the court transgressions. Counterfeit money is a new one that hopefully doesn't catch on (our problems have been drug dealing and domestic disputes, well and early season school-led academic snafus).This Akron team, though (knock on wood) seems to have guys who have their stuff together. This should be a good game. Mike Anderson is a coach who seems to get the most out of his players. So despite the questions, I expect to see a tough team that won't quit.Akron has had pretty good success against SEC teams recently (outside of one ill-fated game against South Carolina two years ago). And this may be our most high-major ready team. But we are a bit short-handed as arguably our best player, Noah Robotham, is still recovering from a torn ACL last year. But this team is deep (for a mid major) and Robotham's backup last year, Antino Jackson, has looked liked the Zips best player so far this year. He will have a huge responsibility of being the guy who can break the Arkansas press. The other ball handlers are freshmen who, while talented, will never have seen pressure like Arkansas will present.Plus, one of them Jimond Ivey was hurt in a meaningless 70-point blowout of a D3 team (anybody know his status?). If Akron can get stops (or break the press off buckets) it seems it seems like we will have a definite size advantage in the half court. Our wings are all in the 6-7 range, and three bigs that go 6-10 and 6-11 (though one is more perimeter oriented). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wadszip Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 Anybody know how the SEC Network operates. My cable company offers SECN only in standard definition. My channel guide shows a Penn State-Tennessee women's game is on at 7.Does the SECN offer different programming between their standard and high-def channels?Also, anybody with a link to a stream, could you post it?

Well, Josh Williams is going to have to solve his turnover issues very quickly because he and Antino are going to have to play a ton to break the Arkansas press.

Assuming you have a major cable provider, you can login to WatchESPN and stream the game. Let me know if you aren't able.That hurts. Well, Josh Williams is going to have to solve his turnover issues very quickly because he and Antino are going to have to play a ton to break the Arkansas press.Hopefully Josh's issue is adjusting to the speed of the game at the collegiate level and he will improve on it at as time goes on.
