Realtime rpi projects us to lose to ark

I remember Fortson scoring like 30 in the second half against us 2 years ago with a snowed-out 1,500 at Bud Walton and us losing a huge lead late. Realtime had us going 8-8 in the SEC around 3 days ago. I wouldn't put too much stock in those predictions. We need to be, at least, 2-1 after the Bama game in Starkville.
they cant match-up with our post game...we need to do to them what Donovan did to us in Starkville in 2006 or 2007 (cant remember the year)...and just continue to pound it inside all game long- regardless of the score. Eventually they will foul out and we will have control of the game in the final minutesJackShephard said:
But instead, they will zone us and we will bomb 3's all night long and make lazy entry passes into the post and they will beat us. I'm nervous about this game because Bost hasn't been shooting well. He will have to hit some big shots for us to win. Wendell also needs to finish when wide open from 3 feet.
..of beating a very good team like Baylor @ a neutral site, I can't see losing to a mediocre team like UPig @ their place.
UPig must have answers for Moultrie & Sidney that I am not aware of but Realtime is.

While I like this team, don't kid yourself into thinking we won't lose to some mediocre teams on the road. Keep in mind we just about lost to Florida Atlantic and Utah State at home and Detroit on the road.
We have very good talent and have done pretty good, but we have had to pull some tough ones out that probably shouldn't have been so tough. We still go through our stretches of 4 minutes without a basket and not being able to score against a zone. Our bigs will look dominant for a few minutes, then go non-existent for the rest of the half. The key in this game is keeping Moultrie and Sidney out of foul trouble. If Roquez Johnson is on the floor at the under 16 timeout, it's not a good thing.
..you agree with Realtime that we are going to lose @ UPig.
I don't see it happening; if I'm wrong, I'm wrong.
But I will say this: If this team can not beat an overmatched UPig team @ their place, then I don't want to come here & read anymore sunshine posts about a "high seeding in the NCAA tournament."

We have not had a game really all year where we have fully taken advantage of the size and skill we have down low. There have been several instances (West Virginia and Utah State) where we get guys in foul trouble and never really seem to take it right at them. I would think instead of trying to shoot over those guys, we play into them, either getting soft, passive defense, or get a foul out. Hopefully, we can take it at them because that's where we outmatch Arkansas in a big way.
