Arkansas advances to quarterfinal round of SEC Tournament with close win over Auburn
Arkansas managed to will its way to a hard fought win over Auburn on Thursday. The Razorbacks escaped with a 76-73 victory to advance to the next round of the SEC Tournament.
While Nick Smith Jr. didn’t lead his team in scoring, he made his fair share of big time shots when it counted most. Arkansas used Smith’s talents well on an alley-oop finish during the opening minutes of the second half.

The Razorbacks used their defense to create some offense as Smith capitalized on some soft defense from Auburn. Smith went on to finish the game with 14 points, 3 rebounds, and 2 assists.

Whenever Arkansas found some momentum on offense Smith was at the forefront. It’s not hard to see how Smith was able to average a little over 13 points per game this season.
Time and time again Smith answered the call, stepping up when his team needed him. Shots like this are why the Razorbacks were able to keep pace.

Smith eventually made a go-ahead midrange bucket with under a minute to go in the second half to put the game on ice. Arkansas added two more points off of free throws to seal the deal.

Somebody go check on Low Rent Ronnie, Pearl’s Girls got pounded in the end despite the 8 on 5 action.
I picked Arky by 12, you effing moron.
You were talking all kinds of ‘ish MAGAt, maybe you can take that supple wrist and go calm down Ms. Pearl.
“You were talking all kinds of ‘ish MAGAt,”
You are the dumbest pile of $ hit to ever grace the pages of SDS, WillyboobEshat.

Surely a Bama fan isn’t complaining about the officiating?
ESHAT is angry because her herpes meds ran out.
“ESHAT is angry because her herpes meds ran out.”
Bye Bruce. Bye Ronnie.
Go Hogs Go.
“Bye Bruce. Bye Ronnie.”
I’ll be here to mock you, piggy.
Says the guy who hasn’t seen his feet or his baby manlet in decades… You’re so fragile is hilarious!!
Ahhhh… Little gurl can dish it out but of course SHE can’t TAKE it. Of course you’ll be there to mock people, you’re a jobless MAGAt-shut in- it’s literally what you do. Haha… I have two college degrees and pay more in taxes yearly than you’ve ever earned. But I’m also HAPPY to pay those taxes even if it means complete morons like you get subsidized. I love my life… You’re a loser, it’s in everything you do and say. You peaked in jr high, grow up Ronnie.
ESHAT’s an escaped mental patient in need of herpes meds.
“I love my life… You’re a loser,”
LOL you actually think you’re poorly worded comments have some sort of effect on me. How cute.
Herpes infected retard, I do not give two $hits what you think of me.

” Haha… I have two college degrees and pay more in taxes yearly than you’ve ever earned. ”
You’re bragging about having two degrees (a lie) and paying more in taxes?
LOL, you suck at life, retard. Get a better accountant.
What a sport basketball is ! You go out there for an hour of running up and down a polished wooden floor in shorts and tank top. But somehow that turns into 2.5 hours. And when it’s over the difference is 3 x 15 free shots where nobody can get within 10 feet of the shooter, a college man, shooting the same shot he was trying to make when he was 10 years old. But still can’t make automatic. Oh, and when the shooter jumps into a defender, it’s a foul on the defender. But only because the refs feel that way, not because of the actual rule book.
Congrats to Arky. Their guys clearly wanted it more. Auburn looked like they were still warming up until the last 5 minutes. IF they make the tourny, it’s going to be a quick exit. Auburn just doesn’t have an emotional leader on the team this year.
Congrats to Arkansas.
I think it was bit premature for Wendell to spout off about Arkansas fans not liking him. After last night’s performance and his end of game mistakes, I bet most Arkansas fans love the kid now.
They love him about as much as you love cheering on a murderer.
He’s back to it! Ronnie, at least be more creative with your terrible jokes. Reading the same response from you over and over and over is a bit boring.
Qanon Ron loves it, his pessimism is all that peckerwood’s got in his life. Oh and $35 insulin thanks to President Biden. I bet he’s even angry about that too! Hahaha
ESHAT is willyboob.
@ESAD $35 is nice, but still way to much for something that costs $3.42 to make. $15 would’ve been far more impressive and everyone still makes enough to pay bills.
Oh Willyboob, if only a President before Biden had set a $35 cap on insulin……
Oh wait. They did. And the lord and savior Biden undid it then put it back into action like it was his idea all along. Well, at least he didn’t try to say he created a bunch of jobs that he was behind people losing in the first place….
Cause that would be awkward…..
