Arkansas fans toss basketball team under the Muss Bus after latest loss
With hopes of a turnaround following Tuesday night’s first SEC win, the Arkansas basketball quickly dashed those feelings against South Carolina on Saturday.
The Razorbacks (10-8, 1-4) never led, and trailed by double-digits most of the game, in the 77-64 loss to the Gamecocks. It didn’t take long for a chorus of boos to arrive from the home crowd midway through the first half.
Following the disappointing loss, Arkansas fans took to social media to post their extreme displeasure, and virtually throw in the towel on the season.
Here is a sample of the negative feedback posted on X:
Just the latest
South Carolina became the latest SEC basketball team to snap a multi-year losing streak to Arkansas.
The Gamecocks never trailed and won 77-64 at Bud Walton Arena, where the Razorbacks lost by double digits for the second time in SEC play.https://t.co/FwtL6pc67r pic.twitter.com/TXW02gExBL

I'm done

A disgrace
@EricPMusselman this team and their play is a disgrace to Nolan Richardson court, Bud Walton Arena, the Razorback loyal and the Razorback program history. I’m tired of being embarrassed on tv by this Mickey Mouse squad. 2 years in a row we fail in conference. Coach. Do your job.

Just perfect
Want to thank the Razorbacks for being terrible in football and basketball during my senior year. Perfect way to go out. Thank god for baseball

A little nervous
If I were a Razorback baseball fan, I’d be very nervous right now after watching these football and basketball teams.

NIT, if lucky
Arkansas loses badly at home to South Carolina.
Razorbacks have now lost 4 of their last 5 and are 10-8 overall.
Will be fortunate to be an NIT team at this rate.
College GameDay heading to Fayetteville next weekend.

Stink, stank, stunk
Ok it’s a cold Saturday and I am blessed to be watching the Hogs in the comfort of my wife’s house! But, that doesn’t stop me from giving my analysis as a fan of today’s Razorback basketball game…..Stink….Stank….Stunk!

Pelphrey memories
we suck pinto. you’ve gotta run it all the way back to the Pelphrey era to find a Razorback team that played defense this horrific

Fickle fan
What he's doing for the razorbacks? This team is lost and he's prioritizing his former players than his current ones. Strictly because he took the arkansas job as a means to get back to NBA. @EricPMusselman retire.

One more stat
One more stat: Today was the 80th home game of the Eric Musselman era at Arkansas.
Razorbacks were 68-11 in the first 79, and today is only the fourth time in those 80 games the they've lost by double-digits.

Biggest busts
Agreed. There were real questions about the roster construction but the Razorbacks have talent and we assumed Muss would figure it out, because he has so many times! Not so much this year https://t.co/a7cOw04zmz

Heartbroken
How I’m gonna sleep knowing I can’t be heartbroken by Razorback sports now until at LEAST late June pic.twitter.com/zBdqbFtBWq

Big softy
Brazile is the softest player I’ve ever seen to put on a Razorback uniform. #WPS

Lost season
The season is lost, Muss might as well cut the cancers loose and do what he can with the guys who want to be Razorbacks.

Two words ...
Two words that will help every Razorback fan: baseball season 🐗🐗😭

All in the numbers
South Carolina comes into Bud Walton Arena and hands Arkansas its third home loss of the season. Gamecocks win 77-64, dropping the Razorbacks to 10-8 overall and 1-4 in the SEC. pic.twitter.com/6n3ditO5rq

Trending wrong
Trending in the wrong direction for Muss over the last 4 years. Better right the ship next season.#Arkansas @TreyBiddy @will_whitson2 @CurtWilkerson_ @ARHoopScoop #razorbacks pic.twitter.com/XPFVQOwjYR

Saddle up the horses
Now that Razorback basketball season is over, guess I’ll have more time to devote to horse racing
— Clint Bradberry (@L8ScratchClint) January 20, 2024
Start Pinion
Might as well start Pinion from here on out so he'll be more comfortable next season, because he don't stand a chance this year. #razorbacks #suck
— Dr. Rob (@DrRob2306) January 20, 2024
Boycott Bud
I call on all Razorback fans to boycott bud walton arena.
It’s time to show Muss and this team that effort can go both ways.— Ill Viri Dei (@illviridei) January 20, 2024
Ultimatum
if Muss puts in Denijay, Lawson and Cade i’ll watch
— Razorback Redemption (@RbackRedemption) January 20, 2024
No discipline
No discipline on either side of the ball for the Razorbacks. Basic fundamentals are glaringly absent. Lots of playing for “me” instead of team. Tough days for the Hogs.

Hosting tryouts
BREAKING: Arkansas basketball will be hosting tryouts to the public on Sunday from 1-5 in Bud Walton Arena. Significant news for the program as they look for a spark after starting 1-4 in conference play!
