Is Arkansas A Trap Game?

You called that right. Have any stock picks for us? :-)

The silver lining is that it seems the Gators learned from AZ and KSU and played much from then on. Maybe the same can happen now with the SEC + NCAA tournaments approaching.

Exactly. It isn't our strength, but it definitely isn't a weakness.

If we lose this game, it is because we travel to a tough venue and face a team that plays very well there, not to mention one that A) forces turnovers, B) uses full court pressure, and C) is unafraid of shooting contested threes, all things that we have struggled with at times. If we win, I personally think it is further confirmation that we are as good--or better--than our ranking says.

Kids will be kids. I felt the noise building. But it didn't look like they walked in there expecting to win. Just walked into the saw.

Nope a trap game is a betting term for a game against the lesser opponent right before a game against a big time or more important game. MSU could have been a trap game just before UK. I think UAR took care of that problem for UF.

Interesting when people use terms like weak. Weak as in Mississippi State, Auburn and Vandy?

It's fair to say that we lack inside depth. That was true last year as well. We're better this year because our post players have improved and our guards are defending much better. Our guards have to continue to deny penetration and help Erik, WY and Pat avoid giving up fouls.
