I like our chances, Arkansas is fairly similar to us, a bit better on offense and a bit worse on defense. But they have a lot less depth, they only play 7 guys significant minutes. They run a "twin towers" lineup with 7'3" and 6'10" guys, but that is it for their big men. Every other guy who plays significant minutes is 6'6" or shorter.

Playing the second game in two days, they are going to have to deal with our waves of big men and overall depth. At some point they are going to have to guard Lakhin with a guy who is 6'6", 210 lbs good luck with that (although Lakhin will have to guard a much smaller guy on the other end). If we can rack up fouls on either of their big men, gotta like our chances.

We should win the rebounding battle, if we can do that we've got a chance. Neither team turns it over much and both force a lot of TO's. We have to continue not to turn it over against their high TO defense and hopefully also force them into more than their normal rate of errors.

They like to play at a fast pace, which could cause us some issues when we are playing two bigs. On the other hand, our big men run well, we've got more depth to tire them out and we've got Saunders who is essentially a one man fast break.
