Social media fans mostly content with Razorbacks’ after Georgia win
Although Tramon Mark’s final missed free throw with 0.8 seconds remaining prevented the Arkansas basketball team from covering the Vegas spread, by a half-point, Saturday, the Razorbacks got the points that counted most in a 78-75 win over Georgia.
After staggering through the early part of the conference schedule, Arkansas (12-11, 3-6 SEC) has won two of its last three games to keep slim postseason hopes alive.
The Razorback faithful has struggled to stay on board this season, which garnered high hopes of a fourth straight Sweet 16 appearance in the NCAA Tournament.
And fans have let their displeasure show through harsh posts on social media. Things were a little more docile after the victory over the Bulldogs.
Five Razorbacks finished with double-digit points, including senior El Ellis and sophomore Keyon Menifield Jr., who led the way with 15 each.
Senior Devonte Davis made his court return after a short absence, scoring four points, with four rebounds, three assists and two steals.
Most fans were more optimistic after the win, although some still remain bitter. Here is a taste of what was posted on X:

Tourney run
I’m going to say it because it need to be said; if razorbacks MBB is going to make a tournament run, Devo has got to turn into Jacksonville Titans Devo, triple double machine. And not necessarily triple doubles but he has got to do more offensively, him scoring makes hogs better! pic.twitter.com/KRyNWgjFAN

Apparently so
Is it too much to ask them to cover the spread? 🤦🏼♂️

Sorry to disappoint
Is this the Razorback team that "has quit"?
"No effort"?
"Doesn't care"?
Sorry some of you were disappointed.
Great win, Hogs! #wps pic.twitter.com/qdrZvuQnh6— Hognoxious (@Hognoxious) February 11, 2024

No Super Bowl
“It’s great right now, but once I leave this room it’s all about getting ready for Tennessee… I don’t think I’ll be watching much of the Super Bowl, I’ll be watching Tennessee.” – Eric Musselman

Sick of Muss
I’m sick of musselman not sticking to what works.. graham hasn’t played whole second half 🤷🏻♀️

Muss needs to go?
Coach that needs to go is Musselman, he has everybody confused with his play calling and lineup switches that his players dont even know what to do… and then at times he likes to chill his best shooter. Yep. Kentucky will be fine, and they had no Mitchell today playing nonconf.

Lifeless, effortless team. I blame Eric “John Pelphrey” Musselman

Ellis the star
FINAL: Arkansas 78, Georgia 75.
El Ellis was the star of the night with 15/5/3, but Devo Davis made the most important play with a game-winning assist to Makhi Mitchell. Hogs avoid a major collapse and pick up their third SEC victory of the season.
