Mike Anderson finally has cracked the problem of winning on the road. It’s been a frustrating three seasons for Mike and Razorback fans.

We got a five game winning streak going. 21 wins so far! Arkansas has won 8 of its last 9 games.  
Ranked 2nd in the SEC

It’s been a long, tough road since Nolan Richardson’s glory days. I’ve had a lot of fun watching Mike Anderson at Birmingham, Missouri and his return back home to Arkansas. He’s updated and expanded on Nolan’s system. 40 minutes of Hell. In your face, unrelenting, fast-paced basketball. It can be a big gamble. If the wheels come off, it gets really ugly. Mike has struggled to rebuild the Razorbacks with the players he needs. Things are really coming together now. We played in the NIT last season.Made the second round.

I’m [DEL]hoping for[/DEL],expecting at least a sweet sixteen appearance this year. A lot depends on the brackets and who we get matched up with. The Elite Eight is a possibility if we get the right path.

You know the good years when you’re in them, or you just wait for them until you get ass cancer and realize that the good years came and went? Because there’s a feeling-- you might notice it sometimes-- this feeling like life has slipped through your fingers like the future is behind you, like it’s always been behind you.

Seven straights wins. 😃 Now we got to face our Nemesis. Kentucky. Win or lose we’re going to the Big Dance and its been the best season we’ve had in a long, long time. I’m excited to see how we do post season.

A long losing streak really make fans appreciate winning. Its almost like you give up even expecting a win. That’s changing for us now. Hawg Ball is back on track.
