Twitter and Facebook: Razorbacks fans praise team for victory over A&M
You know it’s a good night for Arkansas basketball fans when the biggest complain on social media is the extended length of the game, due to ESPN commercials.
Other than that, it was all good after the Razorbacks (13-13, 4-9 SEC) swept the season series with Texas A&M, with Tuesday night’s 78-71 victory in College Station. The win also got the Hogs back to .500 in the overall standings.
Junior Tramon Mark poured in a game-high 26, and senior Makhi Mitchell turned in a monster performance, with 22 points and 13 rebounds. It was his fifth double-double of the season.
“I don’t think we’re ever going to give up,” Mark said afterward. “We’re going to play until the final buzzer, no matter how the season has been going.”
The biggest complain Razorbacks fans had was that the game lasted over two and a half hours, without going into overtime.
Even though it’s been a tough season, social media allowed the Arkansas faithful a chance to rejoice, at least for a short time. Here is some of chatter on X, following the win:

Sweeping the court
Good coaches get mediocre teams to improve just like this.

Fix the end
The last 2:44 of the Arkansas-Texas A&M took 27 minutes, and there were no injuries. College basketball has to fix the end of games

ESPN idiots
The Texas A&M/Arkansas game just ran 37 minutes over their time slot because ESPN is run by idiots who think a college basketball game can be played with commercials in under two hours.

The end insufferable
Dear college basketball – do something about the end of games. Arkansas-TAMU is STILL GOING. The next game is going to beat the under 8 TO by the time it hits the station it’s supposed to. The end of college basketball games is insufferable

Holy ...
Holy hell, Arkansas and FSU hoops both won basketball games tonight 😂

Third time a charm?
Arkansas and A&M will meet in the semi final of the SEC tourney and A&M will get the hogs. Hard to beat a team 3 times
— Tristan Sisco (@SiscoTristan) February 21, 2024
Simple stats
After tonight’s win, Arkansas is now 3-11 when being out-rebounded by their opponent.
Holding A&M to 33% FG and only 7 second chance points (while also converting 82% of their 34 FTAs) made the difference for the Hogs.

Never give up

Could have been worse
If not for excessive foul calls against Arkansas they would have dominated A&M.
