'71 this team lacks overall talent. End of story. I do not agree. There is talent.There are as many top 100 players as PC has had on its roster for awhile. Why has this not translated into enough performance and winning at the college level is the question . Very disappointing performance tight. I was at the BET and the kids played much better than tonight.

Give the Razorbacks credit they are contesting every shot and have shooters. It’s fun to see what a team that can hit a shot is capable of

'71 Have you watched us play this year?
Our top 100 guys were overrated.
We have no point guard.
We can't hit an open shot, ever. Other teams hit open looks regularly.
We constantly shoot below 40% from the floor in games.
We seem to start every game slow and are behind early.
Ed missed on the roster.

I think nova gets exposed....paschal really the only plus athlete....
With the exception of Watson, our top 100s are more suited for the previous coach's style...

Exactly walk and Ed has not recognized that. Still runs same old 1/2 court slow down offense. Ed needs to decide on type of player and type of play. Then match the two. He hasn’t done that for this year.
....gotta love friartown...

Our top 100 guys were overrated. That may be true. Even though we have two top 50 recruits who were supposedly point guards ,we have none who can play at this level. Made the Razorbacks look like world beaters. PC had no answers for the zone tonight. Horrible finish to the year. Staff will be back to the recruiting trail and drawing board.They have to.

For the record, I'm a fan if the flex and the slower pace of play.....it just doesn't work with this roster.

Announcers really beat the “young & inexperienced” theme to death tonight. How are the Friars so young??? Duke & Reeves are the only frosh who see real minutes, and they get yanked in and out of the line-up. Everyone else is an upperclassman or has plenty of experience by now (Watson & MAL).
Just tired of that excuse.

Simply this game was a microcosim of this season, only worse.

I don't think the loss is as doom and gloom for the near future of the program as some are stating here. I think the players didn't care tonight. "No one" really cares about the NIT, and I know no one on that roster came to PC to get really amped about the NIT and give it their all and take home the trophy. They didn't want it. They played with scrimmage intensity. The team we saw late in the season and in the Big East tournament was more representative of where this team was at this year, than tonight was.

... and what does that have to do with Cooley’s effort? They can’t shoot threes all season. Arkansas can. I feel like you answered your own question.

Just back from the Dunk - think announced attendance was maybe 3,000?
3-23 from 3 or whatever it was is not going to win any game. This was more painful in person than watching on TV - closest we came in second half was 10 points.
Arkansas has no Seniors and played without their star player - we were outplayed, outhustled and outdesired from the opening tip off.
Haven’t read any posts here but whatever was said all I can add is that it was worse to witness in person.
Sad.
