SEC Network viewers heard Arkansas coach Mike Anderson practically beg and plead for his team to get more athletic and physical.
The network’s second-half Wired segment featured snippets of Anderson - wearing a microphone - in the huddle during the Hogs' home game with Mississippi State. The common theme was he was frustrated with his team for not being more aggressive rebounding and on defense. He was upset that his team couldn’t impose its will against the second-youngest team in college basketball.
“Most of those guys are freshmen and sophomores,” he told his team.
Arkansas, a 10-point favorite entering the game, was embarrassed in front of a sparse crowd at what used to be an intimidating Bud Walton Arena.
