They are already way ahead of where they were last year. Considering the loss of Brewer/Modica that is a pretty good situation you have going up there. In retrospect it looks like Mike Anderson may have been your guy all along. UAB and now Mizzou are looking like he really knows what he is doing.
In what way are we way ahead of where we were last year?
Already have quality wins over SIU, Marist and West Virginia even though they obdviously are still learning to play with one another.
They definitely showed they are not ready to handle the press and trapping defense that Mizzou threw at them the other.
KOTS you made some really insightful points about the weaknesses of the Razorback offense. I was not able to watch the CMU game but AR does have new guards and that is what happens until you get one of them to emerge as the "leader" and have a commanding floor prescence. I think Ervin will fill this role and direct the offense. Yes Hill (FG 66.7%) should not have the ball away from the basket. Heath's offensive coaching has not seemed to impress you but you have failed to mention that his defense caused 20 turnovers in their win over CMU. If you play solid defense every game it will always give you a chance at winning.
I've never said I was totally sold on this team yet. How they perform in games against TX Tech, Texas and Oral Roberts will be a good indicator of how the Hogs will perform in SEC play.
