"The 40-minute scrimmages officiated by college referees typically draw the most attention from the day’s events, WSU has typically used the first part of the day as a joint practice session. WSU will likely compete against Missouri State in controlled situations where coaches can freely blow their whistles and make changes, as the teams practice against zone defenses, out-of-bounds play and half-court sets."

Any updates are greatly appreciated

As with any scrimmage... Shouldn't try to read too much into them

Absolutely. And that goes at least quadruple for public intra-squad events like Shocker Madness. When you thing about, when was the last time a Shocker Madness event provide much in the way of valuable information to hang your hat on. The closed scrimmages are no doubt much more valuable than Shocker Madness but being closed and controlled pretty much eliminates any chance of gaining any real knowledge about how the team will play when the lights go on for real.

We start getting some feel for this team in the games with Newman, Central Arkansas and Alcorn State but the first real test in my opinion will be the Richmond game on the road.

Glad we have those opportunities to work on some things especially with this mostly new group of guys. Hopefully, we will see some decent team chemistry developing.

Whew. Good thing we won.

This place would have been a cesspool of negativism had we not. Hell, it probably still will be.

I KNEW this would happen since our commissioners decriminalized it.

We only won by 4... I expect plenty of negativity

Misery State is picked a distant ****ing 4th in the MVC so chew on that awhile and let me know what it tastes like.

I read where Texas beat Arkansas by 30 in their scrimmage. It also mentioned that Arkansas has 11 new guys to the roster.

Yes, we should be mothereffing PUMPED with that come-from-behind nail-biting win. I bet IB has that locker room hoppin’!

We narrowly beat Oral Bob in a scrimmage back in 2016. Oral Bob would go on to finish #236 in KenPom that season.

That said, there were two things that were present in 2016. We had two NBA players and a bevy of pros on those teams, and we dominated the controlled portion of the scrimmage. Oh yeah, and we had Gregg Marshall, Chris Jans, and Greg Heiar on the sidelines.

I don't try to read too much into it regardless. These scrimmages do very little to impact my outlook on the season. That said, if they did, it would reinforce my belief that this will be a rough year.

Arkansas is loaded with talent, including 3 potential NBA draft picks (Ricky being one). Like many teams, it may take a while for everyone to figure out their new roles.
