Arkansas Players & Stats

[Duke Blue Blood]

Players - Looks like Portis is having a good season, averaging 16 ppg. Bell & Qualls are averaging 12.

Three- Point Shooting - As a team they shoot the 3 really well (although who knows with their schedule) at over 50%. They are shooting 15 a game, so not reliant on it.

Steals - They have 36 Steals on the season, so very impressive.

Blocks - 15 Blocks on the season, so 5 a game.

Turnovers - They are averaging 13 a game against bad teams, so we can maybe exploit this.

Going to be a tough one boys....

Great post. Their steals per game and TO per game are the points of interest. I think we get to compare to last year and have a better idea of what Moody magic means.

Their turnovers mostly occur on their steals. Once they make a steal they move into a fanatical transition and at times are not under control. It becomes a break even moment. I would not consider the turnovers as a means to exploit. We just need to break the press, pass sharply, work inside, and block out Portis. Harris is a banger and will be physical. Wish we had Kennedy in the middle for him but he is hot and cold so hopefully our other bigs can handle him.

I really fear our passing in the Arkansas game. At times we get too relaxed or pass badly. Against Arkansas this will kill us as they are quick.

We will have to meet, or exceed, their energy. And stay focused. I like the challenge. I don't like our chances. But there's always MOODY. And ANYTHING can happen in Moody!
