Said it yesterday but now we know it is "Road Voodoo" and not us just getting worse as the season's end is nearing. With that said the coaches should invite a thousand or so students to a couple practices and boo the whole time and for the team to wear blue or green jerseys so we can work on breaking this psychological road block we have. Kind of mentally get out of "Hog Heaven" and learn to play and be confident like we do at home. Try to speed up the growing up process a little. Get ready to blow somebody out of the gym at tourney time. Last time I checked the SEC tournament is not in Fayetteville.
Ferocious D, patient but fast O we can convert "Road Voodoo" into "Kicking your butt voodoo".
Great job yesterday guys.
Go Hogs.

In more recent times, I remember Corliss, Scotty, Beck and others having to overcome the same "road voodoo" and win a game away from home.
In fact, I think Arkansas FINALLY turned it around one year in Lawrence, Kansas, with Scotty draining three after three.
Winning on the road requires a certain mindset. Eventually, Corliss and the guys actually seemed to thrive on going to places like Lexington and silencing the crowds.
Like Nolan before him, Mike Anderson is a medicine man. Under his watch, the Razorbacks will learn to cure the "voodoo" and win on the road.
Meanwhile, having a bunch of freshmen and sophomores being undefeated at home is a significant statement.

I agree once you get that cocky but very very confident road mojo going silencing the away crowd is about as pleasing as anything short of a trophy.
Grab an away game, stay undefeated at home (whipping Florida) and win atleast one in the tourney would be an awesome way to go into the summer. Bring in a big mean smart rebounder with Powell and crew next year and we will be on our way.
Have to get Madden untracked (I like this kid) he needs to react and quit thinking so much. "Talking about PRACTICE"
Take Pelphrey 10 years to accomplish that. Whoops!!!!!
Go Hogs.
