MBB UC v. #14 Arkansas (4-0) in HoF Classic Final 9:30pm TUE on ESPN2
Just thought I'd make this easy to find and comment on.
Arkansas favored by 5 (O/U 142) btw. Win tonight and I think our profile goes up a bunch with a lot of folks starting to take notice.

Bolded, no doubt, but a tall order I suspect? Still, what happened last night was mission improbable and they're playing well; highly motivated and Wes is using that deep bench.
Remember Huggins' team going to Arkansas back in the Razorbacks' glory days and handing them a major beatdown? Let's hope history repeats itself in a few hours.

I didn't wager for several reasons, one being it's still pretty early to have much of a feel for any team, perhaps this one in particular. I missed the beginning last night and didn't tune in until we were down 23-8 or whatever and thought "oh crap, I guess the honeymoon is over." Then it goes from being the worst of times to the best of times just like that. (I'm going to assume it was just a coincidence that we turned it one just as I tuned in but hey, who knows...)
For better or worse I plan on tuning in at 9:30 sharp tonight (In fact I largely started this thread to help out anyone like myself who has a hard time keeping track of game times and channels.)

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.

Our starters are one of our worst lineups it seems.

I think we're just so dependent on our effort. Hopefully will figure out early game more, but we are at our best when our effort gets teams off balance.

Someone needs to chew Vik’s ass for insisting on running the break

DDJ's game is pretty when he's hitting shots.

It’s like it takes a timeout or two to get going. I think some of this is that the starting five isn’t the best combination.
