BTW: for those who like to scout our future opponents...South Carolina plays at
Mississippi State starting at 7:00 on espn. Maybe allowing a quick peek during
timeouts in our game....and then watch the second half of it after we are done beating
Arkansas?

As of 3:15 (CT time 
), ESPN2 is showing it at 5PM. The Hartford Courant had a blurb in it about it being moved to 6PM: "A product of this bizarre COVID season, the No. 3 UConn Huskies will play No. 19 Arkansas in Fayetteville, Ark. for just the second meeting in these two programs’ history. Originally scheduled for 5 p.m., the game will now tip at 6 p.m.". Clearly this is a conspiracy to cause disdain, malaise and general anger to TBY, since we have shown our dislike with ESPN's broadcasting in the past!

No idea what you mean by "ESPN2 is showing it at 5PM". If you mean the channel guide on your TV, note that is determined by your cable provider and how quickly it uploads updated schedules. My provider updated it yesterday.
And the ESPN website has shown 6pm since yesterday as well.
The school tweeted 6pm yesterday. The ESPN website says 6pm. This is not difficult.

Sorry. Usually fingers are faster than brain. My channel guide for the game on ESPN2 shows 5PM. Either way it was meant as a spoof (conspiracy) against us 'Boneyarders'. HC stated 6PM

Geno says she won't, but he may have #4 up his sleeve.
Anyway I have been out for much of the day and there is this article...in other words this may duplicate someone elses efforts. With that disclaimer the experts weigh in on what to look forin this game:
Breaking down the UConn women’s next opponent, No. 19 Arkansas, with insights from Geno Auriemma, Mike Neighbors and the ESPN broadcasters calling the game
It’s not every season that UConn would be preparing to take on a team like Arkansas. After all, the Razorbacks and Huskies haven’t squared off since 1998, when most of the teams’ current players hadn’t yet been born. But with COVID-19 making nonconference games tough to come by — UConn has had...
It’s a high-powered offense,” Lyle said. “They like to get shots up within the first nine to 10 seconds in the shot clock. They have multiple weapons, which makes them extremely dangerous. And they can score so quickly that they’re never out of a ball game.”
The Razorbacks are a guard-heavy team, typically putting four perimeter players on the floor at a time. They like to shoot the three (37.4 percent clip with Amber Ramirez leading the team at 44.6 percent) but also love to put the ball on the floor and try to get to the rim.
Connecticut should be good enough, athletic enough to defend on the perimeter,” Peck said. “So can Arkansas break them down? And if they get by, you’ve got [UConn center] Olivia [Nelson-Ododa] inside to alter shots so that you don’t have to help off of three-point shooters.”
Arkansas’ 85.4 points per game are fifth-best in the nation per Her Hoop Stats. Even a good defensive team in South Carolina, Lyle points out, allowed 82 points.
Auriemma said it’s impossible to completely contain Arkansas’ offense, but his team will need to minimize it, especially by limiting trips to the line and 3s. But UConn must also “shoot a real high percentage” on its end.
Lyle and Peck pointed out the common thread in Arkansas’ losses has been poor rebounding. In its six losses this season, Arkansas has been outrebounded on average by a margin of 14. UConn will not hesitate to exploit that advantage on both ends.
“We really struggle to rebound it,” Neighbors said. “The teams that can do that, they’ve got the blueprint to beat us. For us to pull out games like this, we need to be able to attempt 30-35 3s and make 12 or 13 of those, and we need to be able to get to the foul line, which is hard against UConn. They’re so disciplined.”

I don't know who is worse, the ESPN announcers or the Arkansas PA announcer.

I wish the announcers would shut up. Sometimes the only way I can tell what happened is overhearing that PA announcer.
