Message: [QUOTE="willtalk, post: 3801555, member: 1220"] I am pretty much in total agreement with all of your post. Except one factor and even that is just a technicality. It is the one about Neighbors refusing to adjust his game plan. I don't think he has the personal to adjust and that is the problem I always saw with the Arkansas team. He has pretty much sold out completely to the small ball run and gun style of play. He has geared his team for it. When his players are hitting their threes they are going to run certain teams off the court, but that leaves them open to teams that punish them inside. In respect to the Baylor game- Baylor played a really bad game because they are a far worse team than they have been in the recent past. They also don't match up really well against Arkansass strengths. True that even so they should have still been able to beat Arkansas had they exploited their weakness in the post. However they are not like Baylor teams in the past which punished the opposition both on offense and defense in the paint. Baylor has always been known for their defense, but except for Di Di they really do not have a good defensive team. Arkansas exposed that in that they drove to the basket at will. Baylors guards on ball defense was non existent and their post defenders did not challenge the shots in the paint. It is my opinion that Baylor was overrated from the beginning this season so that inflated the value of Arkansas win over them. [/QUOTE]
