FAYETTEVILLE — Mike Anderson previews Arkansas' matchup with Mount St. Mary on Monday.
— Mount St. Mary's is a perimeter-oriented team that spreads teams out and shoots 3-pointers. Hogs have struggled the last few games and know they need to do a better job contesting.
— Teams have controlled tempo against Arkansas the last few games. Hogs have to do a better job playing the way they want.
— Didn't think Hogs brought the energy for the full length of the game at Minnesota. Didn't like how they responded to adversity.
— Limiting turnovers has to be key.
— Players had Wednesday off. Had practice Thursday and then a Thanksgiving meal at his house. Had Friday off and got back to practice Saturday.
— Hopefully the fans come out and there's a great environment for three home games this week.
— Thinks Hogs are fixing opponent's offensive rebounding issue from early.
— Thinks turnovers are a combination of bad decisions and playing too fast.
— On JUCOs having bad assist:turnover ratios: "It's just getting used to the speed of the game." Daryl Macon had a few in the Minnesota game that he could've shot but passed to guys who weren't ready.
— Moses Kingsley has to impact the game more, not necessarily just offensively. Defensively and rebounding while also playing well offensively and getting to the line.
— Thinks the JUCOs will get better as they get more comfortable.
— Hogs are trying to dictate tempo, but has to stay in rotation on defense.
— Need to share the basketball better.
— Thinks they'll clean up the turnover issues. They're a result of newness and guys trying to make spectacular passes instead of the simple play.
— Anton Beard will play more. He's playing well, has the best assist-turnover ratio on the team.
— Mount St. Mary's likes to press as well and will be up-tempo. It's press is more to disrupt rather than necessarily to force turnovers. Won't be intimidated.
— Kingsley "has to become that beast on offense and defense as well. For us to be the team we want to be, he has to play at a high level."
— Other guys have to be at a high level, too.
— The bench needs to be better.
— Mount St. Mary's gave Michigan everything it wanted. MSM has played West Virginia, so the press won't faze them. Played at Iowa State.
