... was that it was the 2nd night of a back-to-back for CArk. They were a little worn down the 2nd night and didn't have time to practice and prepare for Utah.

Utah/BYU Comparables vs Central Arkansas

They’re better than expected and projected I think.

Yep. I think they have the tools to finish 8 to 10 in conference standings.

8 would be quite the achievement, probably land them in the NCAA tournament.

I think that's way too high. For example, UCF is projected in that range.

Utah has the big advantage not having any fans in the arena to distract them when they shoot.

it wasn't an NBA back-to-back. There was a full day of rest (Wednesday) between

Two significant edges we look to have on the yewts: Interior scoring; perimeter D.

Lovering the projected and returning starter for them at center has been out

Lovering plays very small for his size. He was not much a factor at the rim for them in our matchup last year.

But U of U still held us to 69 points last season, which wasn't a good offensive

You know, I'm beginning to believe the yewts are gonna have a better team on their hands than last season

Don't forget the we also had Hall out, one of our most important players.

Can't wait to see he & Demin work together against the likes of Ole Miss.

Assuming his foot issue doesn't turn out to be something like what Baker had 😬

Are you sure it's a foot & not an ankle?

I don't. I didn't even know it was a lower leg issue till this thread.

SinkingQuffa

9:31am

If it's ankle, that would be better, but I thought I saw some chatter about it

BackPacker

9:48am

It's got more reasons for hoping it's better, anyway.

I didn't like that he had zero presence in the media the week & night of the game. That seemed ominous to me.

Wahlin…now there’s a name I’ve not heard in a long time

He had himself a nice game. Solid shooting night for him, & plenty of stand-out moments on D.

SinkingQuffa

It would be interesting to ask C Ark players or coach who they thought the more

Utah is always tough at home. They’ve been terrible on the road though. I know

That was a lot of effort to compare mostly meaningless games with Utah playing
