Interesting to note

Both of our losses have come in overtime, and both happened while missing a starter from the lineup. Doesn't make it hurt less, but hopefully we'll be able to grow from the loss.

Anyone who is upset after this loss is crazy. We all knew it was gonna happen at one point. But we went on the road in a crazy environment and went toe to toe with one of the 5 best teams in the SEC. This is a L to be proud of because of how hard these young men played and fought. Still the best resume in the country, still a top 3 team.

And both could have been possibly been won had we rebounded a missed free throw. Jabari v UConn would have won it in regulation. Tonight, a rebound would have given us a shot to send it into a 2nd OT with 16 seconds left.

Very true. We shoot our average on the FT line, we win. Hard lesson learned. But at least it happens in the reg season with plenty of time to improve.

I think between the absolutely terrible free throw shooting (which should never happen to a high-level team), the huge disparity between the foul calls between Auburn and Arkansas, and most importantly the lackluster attempt at the end of regulation and in overtime to get the ball moved around and to Jabari and anyone else with crisp, fast passes are the reason we lost.  Of course Auburn would never have been in that position had they played within their game the first 35 minutes of play that has gotten them this far, Zep or no Zep.  If you are like me, I am usually counting down the minutes until Zep gets subbed out for Green during most games, but these last two have given me a whole new appreciation for what he brings to the team.  Green is a hell of a player but he is not ready to run the show for 40 mins, he simply doesn't have the conditioning if nothing else.

Very few are immediately conditioned to run the show for 40 mins if they average 28. It’s like running 2 miles twice/week for 3 months, then suddenly bumping it to 3 miles. That last mile the first time is rough.
