@JohnNaborsShow He wouldnt even take your call bro

Tommy Lloyd mentioned on the hot board for the UNC job. Personally I think he would make a FANTASTIC hire for UNC. In fact, I think they should hire him immediately. Like right now. Would do AWESOME at North Carolina.

@TomLloydBurner Im not arrogant like blue blood fans. When few retires its gonna be scary. Schools like Oregon, ucla and usc could even be scary. But yea, tommy isnt packing his shit up to live in Lawrence kansas for the same resources

IMAGINE THINKING YOU COULD PRY TOMMY LLOYD AWAY FROM THE BEST JOB ON THE WEST COAST AND ARGUABLY THE ENTIRE WESTERN HEMISPHERE. ARIZONA DYNASTY LOADING 🚀

@mattbegreatyt Too many 0's to fit on the graphic

Did the entire Alabama basketball team get vaporized

@nickbateman33 Then youre not very smart, nor have you been paying attention.

Usually I get so frustrated with CBB media whenever there’s a HC opening cuz it’s always “gotta make Brad Stevens say no” But I honestly feel like UNC might be able to get whoever they want

@BelkReport I mean i dont think anyone will. Theyre poverty

I’m willing to go out on a limb here and say Randy Bennett will not work at Arizona State

@Good_Songs1 @BuriedTreys I think auto correct got you. You mean arkansas loses by 30

@BuriedTreys That’s a lot to write and to read… just say Arkansas wins by 3.

Arizona / Arkansas (San Jose) The game your CBB casual friend will LOVE. Two Top 5 offenses who both play with a ton of pace even though Arizona is averaging 2.5 less possessions per game over their Last 10 compared to their season-long mark. Hogs have rattled off 9 wins in their last 10, including 7-straight, but their analytical profile paints a slightly different picture In that stretch, ARK ranks ~100th in Defense because teams have smashed them on the interior to the tune of a 57% 2PD% (313th nationally). Well...enter the (tied for) lowest P5 3PRate in the country whose entire lineup sans Dell'Orso hammers the rim & the Cats are the much bigger team in a game where so much will occur in the paint on both sides Even though the SEC lacked multiple elite teams like the B12/B10, they do have one team who is highly relevant to this matchup. The only team Arkansas lost to during that stretch? Florida, arguably the closest Arizona comp in the entire country and certainly within the SEC. Arkansas did NOT hold up well in that matchup. Florida grabbed 48% of their misses, shot 62% inside the arc, and held the Hogs to 14-32 on layups. Not only that, but Brazile was limited to 25 minutes due to fouls, Pringle gave us a Pringle Special and made it all of 11 minutes picking up 4 fouls, and Ewin The Hackbox ended up with 4 himself in 26 minutes. Then think about the last 5 frontcourts that Arkansas has played. High Point, Hawaii, Vandy, Ole Miss, and Oklahoma. 5-straight games against teams with a very feint pulse on the interior. And their numbers still look that poorly during this 9-1 stretch. Now get fed to the Frontcourt Final Boss in Arizona. Zona has played 10 of their last 12 games under 70 possessions, and the ones that went over were the LIU pounding (71) & the Colorado finale (73). They did play a lot of elite coaches down the stretch, and several matchups were for a second time, which could have artificially deflated Arizona’s tempo numbers. Arkansas will be happy to let them run in this instance, so there is a chance that the Cats tt may be understated The other huge worry I have with Arkansas is the fact that they are 100th percentile in Points in the Paint per 100 possessions. They obviously struggled to be efficient at the rim against Florida’s length, so it’s tough not to see the Hogs having similar problems in this matchup. On the other side of the ball, the Hogs' defense is quite literally 0th (zeroeth?) percentile in Points in the Paint Allowed per 100 in the entire country across many different splits. Over the last 10 games, in all conference games...there are multiple ways you can slice the data where Arkansas allows THE highest amount of PITP/100 in the nation. Not sure there are many matchups worse than Arizona in that regard So realistically, what is Arkansas’ path? Being 316th in 3PRate isn’t the best recipe to spark upsets, neither is their sub-16% defensive TO%. They’re going to get SMASHED in shot volume (although Iowa beating Florida on the glass may have broke the space time continuum in that regard). I don’t know if it really matters how much Acuff scores because it’s hard to see how Arkansas slows down the Cats’ offense. He could score 30+ and Arizona could win by 15-20+ and I wouldn’t be surprised at all. Arkansas' path feels wholly contingent on Zona poor shooting where not only does Acuff have a nuclear game, but you also get multiple efficient 3P shooting outings from Brazile & Thomas. Possible, sure. It just feels like really thin thread of the needle I haven't bet anything yet in this game, but there are a multitude of things I'm looking at: >Zona tt over. Don't know how Arkansas slows this offense who just played like complete ass against Utah St and still went over 1.2 PPP. 1.21 PPP at 73 possessions is right at their team total of 88ish. And keep in mind, Zona's L10 tempo stuff may also be somewhat artificially deflating their actual rates/numbers in this matchup against a team with no transition denial defensively >Krivas o11.5 points Mentioned the Arkansas defense PITP numbers. Krivas could have easily blown by this number against Utah St but was actually very inefficient from the field. Way better matchup on the interior in this one. If Peat/Awaka go nuts, so be it, but this is a CAKE matchup for a S16 game >Brazile o1.5 3's. Not my favorite but makes complete sense. With Ewin/Pringle up against it on the interior, this might be the best source of Arkansas frontcourt production. Zona's drop will give him a handful of open looks on pick & pops, especially if Acuff starts out inefficient from the field like I think is very possible. It's also a terrible matchup for rim-needy Billy Richmond, likely putting most of Arkansas' offense in the hands of Acuff, Thomas, and Brazile, and likely from the perimeter given the difficulty scoring over Zona's length at the rim >Ewin unders. Has looked awesome against two midmajors where he's avoided fouls. The lines balloon, now he gets a brutal matchup, and chances are people likely blind bet his overs b/c thats what their computer projections tell them to do. I would tread cautiously. He could foul twice before the first media TO. He could play 30 minutes and just suck. He's a wide range of outcomes guy who is starting to get very pricey in the market in an impossible matchup, especially compared to the last two teams they played

@grantw1010 @BuriedTreys Na arky fans are more like. "THIS IS RIDICULOUS. WE HAVE ACUFF WHOS ALWAYS AMAZING. HE JUST RANDOMLY MISSES SHOTS SOMETIMES WHEN THEY PLAY BIG TEAMS. ITS UNEXPLAINABLE"

@BuriedTreys arkansass fans after reading this

@TomLloydBurner @jasonscheer Reasons. Not to mention his recruiting ties are cali and phoeinx for the most part. Not sure what the incentive would be for him to pack up and move to Lawrence or something for the same exact situation, at best mind you, he has already

@TomLloydBurner @jasonscheer All these "blue blood" entitled fucks who think they can just take what they want because of their name dont scare me for tommy. They honestly have nothing to offer but the name he cant get here and hes been pretty adamant about wanting to stay in the west for personal and family

You're all going to ask me, so here you go. UNC is going to call every top coach in the country and every single one would listen. It's not a distraction at all to someone like Tommy. Focus on Arkansas.

@ScottMorris12 Take as poor of a performance as you saw on Sunday. Brazile and ewin doing amazing work blocking from behind or something, and incredible 3pt and mid range jump shooting because the rim is going to be taken away.

@ScottMorris12 And ideally get a fogg Allen whistle or hope they miss like half their free throws and play poorly everywhere else. And as you saw on sunday, thats not even enough most of the time. Arkansas can't even try that because they dont have the depth to give 25 fouls in a game. It would

Arizona is very, very good, but seeing accounts act like Arkansas can’t hang with them/or even beat them is comical 😂

@0Yqxing @JoPer593 @TorresOnArizona Well, yes and no. Its that ivan cant create for himself. Even on his driving layups its because the bigs seal for him. Hes no dybantsa, hes not even like pelle. He really cant dribble with contact at all

@morepellent @JoPer593 @TorresOnArizona To Ivan's credit, his dribbles are ugly but he actually gets a ton of layups on his drives.

You remember this guy? KJ… we’d gladly take you back anytime 😂

@JoPer593 @TorresOnArizona Every time he faced a 7 footer he was a non factor defensively whats the point of draymond green? If youre going to be that guy you have to affect everyone. Kj simply has match ups where he cant and it makes him worthless.

@JoPer593 @TorresOnArizona Was 5'11 if he could do what hes done, I wouldnt care if ivan was 6'4 if he could do what hes done. It doesnt matter that draymond green is undersized either right? But that would be the comparison here. If dramond green could do what he does against other undersized centers but

@JoPer593 @TorresOnArizona Years roster? Theres 0 use for kj. You probably need to make a decision on letting ivan or Dwayne go with the cam holmes commit. Not add any more

@JoPer593 @TorresOnArizona "Hey ivan. Go put 6'9 220 pound freak aj dybantsa in hell for 40 minutes" and he can hold him to 18/52 over 2 games. Kj cant do that because hes not tall enough. So whats the point of having a defensive stopper who cant stop half the guys he plays against? Especially for next
