Since Queens_NYC hasn't posted the game thread yet, figured I'd do the honors.

They have some skilled veteran guards, but they aren't deep. On Monday they really only played 7 players and that's been pretty much the norm for them throughout the season. Sometimes their 8th man (Trey Wade, transfer from Wichita State) gets more minutes, but I don't expect him to get more than 10 minutes.

Our advantage is going to be depth, especially on the interior. Only two of Arkansas' main 7 guys are taller than 6'6". One of them is 7'3", but he is fairly skinny and only averages 15 minutes. If we can brigade them on the interior and wear down their two bigs (or get one of them in foul trouble) I like our chances. Good luck guarding Lakhin with a guy who is 6'6", 210 lbs, though Lakhin is going to have to hold his own against a much smaller guy on the defensive end, so it will be an interesting battle.
