A Baller Named Hooper: Hooper Vint Signs With the UTEP Miners
Well, better late than never right? As reported by KTSM (among others) and noted in the FanShots by Lebowsky, the UTEP Miners hoops squad signed 6'10 center Hooper Vint from Van Buren, Arkansas. Here's what Tim Floyd had to say on UTEP's newest big man. "I'm really thrilled with our latest...
NCAA to Big Ten: drop dead.
IU is seeded #8, playing an improving Arkansas team that finished second in the SEC tournament. If IU wins its first game on in Raleigh, NC on Friday, the Hoosiers will play top-ranked North Carolina on Sunday. Other than Michigan State, which is a five, #3 seed Wisconsin and #6 seed Purdue seem a...
Initial thoughts.
I haven't done a bit of homework yet, but I'll have much more to say about the Razorbacks as the week progresses. As for the bracket overall:It seems that the NCAA loved some clever matchups this year: the two freshman phenoms, Michael Beasley of Kansas State and OJ Mayo of Southern Cal, will play...
Indiana vs. Arkansas: tale of the tape.

Blog exchange with Hawg Blog.
I have exchanged some questions and answers with Hawg Blog, which as the name would suggest is an Arkansas blog, as a prelude to tomorrow night's matchup. Below is the first half of the exchange, and Hawg Blog has published the second half. HR: Hawgblog, introduce us to your team. What players...
Gameday!
I set forward the tempo-free numbers earlier this week here. The short story: comparable on defense, IU has the edge in offense, Arkansas has played much better lately. The biggest concern is the size of Arkansas's interior players and the Hogs' shot-blocking ability. IU has struggled against teams...
Arkansas 86, Indiana 72.
Well, that's that. Faced with the slight of an eight seed in the NCAA Tournament, IU responded by playing like a 16 seed. Actually, that's not fair. The 16 seeds actually play like they want to be there.As was somewhat expected, The Razorbacks' big men had a big day. Here's the box score.In terms...
