The potential for Texas A&M to bludgeon the Razorbacks on the boards on both ends is huge here. I think Arkansas will have to outscore the Aggies by about 15 at the three-point line to have a chance.

Texas A&M pounds the boards, but also tends to turn it over a lot. Arkansas has played well the last two trips into enemy territory.

Texas A&M has underperformed preseason expectations, but the Aggies rebound two out of every five misses on the offensive end, and given Arkansas' issues on the boards that should give A&M a sizable advantage. Mike Anderson might elect to use Moses Kinglsey and Trey Thompson in tandem more often, but the Razorbacks have done little to inspire confidence in their recent performances.

Arkansas has better guards. If the Hogs avoid foul trouble they win.

Both teams have their backs against the wall, so to speak, although Texas A&M is in a tighter predicament with a 1-4 conference record. The Aggies' ability to rebound is probably the difference against the Razorbacks, who are unpredictable on the road.
