Before the players had left the floor, but after an apparent icy exchange between Mike Anderson and Andy Kennedy, text messages and emails started to come in.
A few are shared here in italics.
Some had not noticed Anderson walked by a stone-faced Kennedy, who had offered an obviously obligatory handshake. Turns out Anderson had an official to talk to, but both coaches said a handshake was exchanged a few minutes later.
Most, though, were just disappointed and upset that the Arkansas Razorbacks had lost to Ole Miss, 96-82.
Perhaps the headline in Sunday's paper summed it up best, "Home Groan."
Kennedy used 9 players, each scoring at least 6 points and 6 were in double-figures.
Anderson played 11 players, got good scoring from 4, and no scoring from 4 more, including 2 starters.
"Hawgball is dead."
It appears Ole Miss had some addition by subtraction since last season. The wildly talented shooter Marshall Henderson is gone and in place of his zany, sometime outrageous behavior Kennedy has a team, as witnessed by the 18 assists the Rebels had on their 31 baskets against the Hogs.
Until Saturday night, it appeared Anderson had finally gotten his team on the same page, too.
Yes, they lost earlier in the week to Tennessee in Knoxville, but they made a run at the end and could have won the game, but didn't.
Against Ole Miss the Rebels were the better team.
"Where's the D?"
They shot 74 percent from the field in the first half, and it was because they were getting open looks and outhustling the Hogs.
The Rebels were totally prepared for Arkansas' fullcourt pressure and even applied it themselves. Arkansas, in fact, struggled against it at times, which lends some credence to the thought the Razorbacks came out thinking offense instead of defense.
"The two-man officiating crew had nothing to do with this game."
Arkansas had four steals, and none by the starters. The Razorbacks are not a team that is going to win shooting a ton of jump shots, which they did, including 22 three-pointers.
Their offense starts with their defense, and that doesn't mean the Hogs can't score in half court; they can, especially when the ball goes through Bobby Portis' hands, who can score or pass.
Creating havoc on defense, though, means getting better shots, more fast-break and transition layups and eventually get into the legs of most opponents.
But both of last week's losses were against teams that played zone and challenged the Hogs to beat them from the outside.
"Are we ever going to win consistently?"
It appeared Kennedy decided to do to the Razorbacks what they do to most teams. The Rebels not only pressed, but they hustled from start to finish
The Rebels were 20 of 27 from the field in the first half. They were slowed a little by the Hogs in the second half, but it was too little, too late.
"Season not over, but time to get it together."
So fans are disappointed, but why wouldn't they be? But this doesn't all fall on the shoulders of Anderson, who is in his fourth season.
First, Eddie Sutton spoiled the fans, winning 260 games, losing 75 for a school record .776 winning percentage.
Nolan Richardson took it to another level by taking the Razorbacks to three Final Fours, winning it in 1994. Richardson's Hogs were 24-11 in NCAA Tournament games.
Arkansas played in 22 NCAA Tournaments from 1977-2001. The Hogs have gone three times in the past 14 years, posting a 1-3 record.
This season, the core of the fans believed this would be a breakout year, and it still could be. But the fact they still care enough to complain, or encourage, means the core of the fans base is not lethargic. They still care.
