The Mean Green travel to take on Arkansas-Little Rock this Thursday, Jan. 4th. The UALR's website has an online video streaming pay-per-view option for only $4.95. You can sign up here.

BTW, I am really looking forward to seeing Quincy and Wooden take on Jones-Jennings. He has been a problem for us in the past. I think this will give us an idea how far we have come since last season in terms of rebounds and inside play/scoring. ULAR has been hot and cold this season. We'll see which team shows up. Now that I think about it, I could care less which ULAR team shows up given that Bell, Sturns, Davis, Williams, Watson, and Wooden play/shoot well.

Looks like Troy won the game. So either we're gonna catch a wounded animal in Little Rock, or a weak team.

Either way I'm excited about Thursday.

We are voted as a national Mid-Major Top 25 on a regular basis now, have the best record in the SBC, and were picked to do very well in our division. We have seen some great performances from "lesser" opponents this season. From here on out, every team will bring their A game in an effort to knock us down from our perch. We are in control of our own destiny this season and must play each and every game (especially the first half!) with great intensity regardless of our foe's record/ability.

I hope the good UALR team shows up. If we can beat them when they are on it will give me a lot more confidence as to what we can do in the tourney.

If the other team shows up, it will be a blow-out. On our bad games we have been horrible!! We will rebound well - that is a given. Rashad is a man in the middle, and Big Byron will add 6-8 rebounds a game at the other post. After that it is anyone's guess. If our perimeter shooting is on, we could make a game of it, but NTU definitely will be the favorite - by a bunch.

I had to read this twice to understand what you were saying. I think you are speaking as a UALR fan?

I am very excited about this game. UALR gave us problems last season and knocked us out of the SBC tourney. I'd be lying if I didn't say that I hope we win with a vengeance to make up for those loses.

It may not matter. If we shoot like we have in some games, we couldn't beat the Sunnyvale Nursing Home.

I believe the games your speaking of were pre-KD going down and right after he went down. This team has geled a whole lot since then and there are a lot of players that have stepped up their game (c-watt, quincy, sturns) and one player that has finally gotten healthy (wooden). I think this team is more dangerous because KD got injured than they would have been if he had played the whole season. There are players playing with a lot more confidence and playing at a lot higher level because of KDs injury. If we played the UTA game or the Nebraska game now we would dominate UTA and give Nebraska a run for their money. Watch when WKU plays Nebraska later this week and remember that we beat WKU.

MeanGreenBuzz, I believe that MichaelSpappy is speaking as a UALR supporter. Reread his posts on this topic. I commented on this confusion myself in an earlier post in this thread. We are excellent shooting, high scoring team. Even after KD went down.

Correct. We (Little Rock) are not a good shooting team from outside. However, our starting front line shoots well. We just can't get enough space from them by hitting from the arc. The strength of this team definitely is post play. However, our starting 2 guard, Terrance Akins, if he goes on a streak, can break a game open. But, he is streaky. When he's cold, he's cold.

I need to call Customer Service about accidentally purchasing the Women's game ... which was already over ... why even have it up for purchase when the game is over ... I thought I was getting the Men's game. <_<

      Attendance

      If Army fans weren't at least 40% of the crowd....there must have been alot of NT fans yelling for Army. The "NORTH" Westside "TEXAS" Eastside chant was the best all year...if I remember it was after a Army turn over 28519 attendance.

      Elf blew this one

      I won't lean either way on this one. Agree the defense played a hell of a game. I don't think EM would have tried the onside kick after the FG if he knew the defense would play as it did. If I was told we would give up 14 points to ARMY, I would have metaphorically bet the house we win. But had we shortened a drive or two more giving us the ball one or two more times, maybe we have enough to win. Offense had few penalties this game it seemed. I guess that happens when you only have the ball 15 minutes. You could argue not scoring 7 points on the opening drive, plus an apparent bad call on the goal line in the 2Q, lost the game. That the offense got as close as it did against the 28th ranked pass defense, the 3rd ranked run defense, the 1st ranked scoring defense that’s only giving up 11.25 ppg, and the 5th ranked defense overall is a tribute to both the offense and the defense. We had our shots and blew most of them. GMG

      Parking

      What do you expect them to do if every spot is claimed, either by donors or sales? They can’t make the passes get used, but can you imagine if they oversold that lot and people with valid passes showed up with no spot to park in?

      You are so right about all of this…and when we see any of it change, it’ll be an awesome day. I’ve been waiting since 1990…
