Kem Pom Arkansas Scouting Report
Austin American Statesman on the friendship between Texas freshman Varez Ward and Arkansas freshman Courtney Fortson
A few quick Keys to the Game:
1. Stay out of foul trouble. Arkansas is one of the best teams in the country (11th nationally) at getting to the free throw line. With Connor Atchley out tonight and Alexis Wangmene out for the season, the Texas frontline is really thin. Gary Johnson, Dexter Pittman, Clint Chapman, and Matt Hill must be able to stay on the floor for extended minutes. Look for Barnes to play Damion James at the four spot as well if matchups allow.
2. Get Back on D. This Texas team has struggled with transition defense in multiple games this season. The Razorbacks won't be afraid to push the basketball tonight in front of nearly 20,000 loud, Texas hatin' fans. Justin Mason and Dogus Balbay must recognize when they can crash the offensive glass and when their assignment is to retreat and protect against easy fast break buckets.
3. Play Inside-Out on Offense. The 'Horns are so much more dangerous when Dexter Pittman or Johnson get a touch in the post. Texas should lean on Pittman early, make the Arkansas defense collapse, and, hopefully, allow AJ Abrams and Damion James some open looks from three.
4. Make Free Throws. This is going to be a key in every road game the rest of the season. The Longhorns are not an efficient enough team on offense to leave points at the line. If tonight is as close as I expect, the 'Horns' ability to make free throws down the stretch could be the difference.

clra2 - January 6, 2009
Good Coaching
Barnes called timeout to go two-for-one.
AJ missed but Texas got rebound to go two-for-zero.
Now, it didn’t work as all three Texas shots were bricks.
That was freaking UGLY. 31-27 Texas at half.
awiggo - January 6, 2009
Four point road lead
After that brick fest, I’ll take it. We stayed out of foul trouble, save Chapman, and got Pittman and Johnson involved early. Our transition D has been excellent as has the half-court D. Their freshman point guard was totally rattled and the Arkansas offense never got on track.
Unfortunately, Texas couldn’t buy a perimeter jumper. I think we were 0-for-11 from three and AJ still hasn’t scored. Given that, a four point lead on the road is fine.
If Texas heats up, this will be a double digit win. Otherwise, this will be a 40 min game and the first to 55 points wins.

he seemed like a force early, but here’s to AJ’s shot coming back

52-49 Texas, under 8
Pittman in game with four fouls and almost got whistled on both ends. Hopefully he can stay on the floor. Otherwise, James to the four and three guards the rest of the way.
Time to finish. Take good shots, rebound, and sink free throws.

sloppy pass by james
desi_horn - January 6, 2009
that's my only big gripe with rick, he doesn't utilize time outs to control momentum
during the ucla game, our home crowd sucked, but when everyone did get to their feet, ben howland immediately called a time out, everyone sat and stayed seated and the arena was quiet again. i wish rick would use time outs a little more on the road.

ltrain25 - January 6, 2009
the horns seem to have covered all the keys to the game tonight
except for that part about making open shots. that might’ve helped.
burrito - January 6, 2009
Key #3
It worked in that we got a lot of points in the paint, but we still could’ve fed the post more. Of course, one problem is our inability to feed the post well enough. Pittman, Johnson, and James are all capable of posting up their man. You would think at least one of them will have a huge matchup advantage in a game with their postup abilities. Unfortunately James is around the perimeter too much.
