Everything Mike Anderson, Manny Watkins said Friday

Arkansas coach Mike Anderson speaks to the media during the Razorbacks' annual media day on Wednesday, Oct. 5, 2016, at Bud Walton Arena in Fayetteville.

— Mike Anderson and Manny Watkins review the Texas A&M win and preview Arkansas' home game with LSU.

Manny Watkins

— On if we can expect him to fire up 3-pointers Saturday: "Uh, yeah. You can." Never been a bad shot taker, but will shoot if he's open.

— Still going to do what he does. Still going to be Manny.

— "The Missouri game, I'd been shooting that a lot in practice and I took it and it went in." Against A&M, "I looked at the line and just said if I don't make them respect it, we're going to lose the game." "When your back's against the wall, the real you comes out." Says he'll take them from now on. I always could. It'll free up guys like Dusty and Daryl when they drive because his man can't sink as far down.

— Have the luxury of using 3 guys at the 4. They aren't big scorers, so they do what coach wants them to do to win: rebounding, defense, hustle plays.

— Last year, LSU's offense ran through Ben Simmons and it made them stagnant at times because they watched what he did.

— Hogs have lost two at home. They can't overlook anyone.

— Antonio Blakeney is a good player. Talented, can score. "I think with guys like that, it starts at the beginning. You can't let them start and get heated up."

— "The scouting report for us never really changes. We worry about what we're going to do."

— Thinks he still has to show he can hit 3s more, but defenders may have to close out harder. It can open up the floor for others.

— Huddled up when they got down 12 at Texas A&M and came together. "You put our backs against the wall and everybody responded. Pressure either makes diamonds or bursts pipes. It made a diamond out of us that game."

— On Moses Kingsley hitting 3s now: "I hit one, he's gotta hit one."

— Seniors are doing whatever it takes to win. "This is our last go around, we've got to do whatever he can."

— "In class, people are like, 'Oh, you're a sharpshooter now.' Some of my friends who are friends with Dusty said, 'You need to teach Dusty how to shoot. Take him to shooting practices.' Shooting comes and goes.

— Looks at it as LSU is a hungry tiger not a wounded tiger. They've seen teams come in here and beat us. Both teams' backs are against the wall. "We've just got to bring it and play all out."

Mike Anderson

— LSU has been in games going down the stretch recently but haven't found a way to put it together at the team. They're athletic. Blakeney can score. They've got some good young players.

— "The last couple (LSU) ballgames, I got a chance to see parts of it. They're getting better."

— Arlando Cook is impacting the team. Played the last 13 minutes of the game. Daryl Macon is playing at a consistent level. Moses Kingsley was rested in the A&M game as the result of the bench and depth. Thought they had a lot more energy down the stretch.

— Want to continue to push the pace. LSU plays mid-tempo, but will get up the floor with you.

— On LSU playing more zone recently: "They'll probably mix it up and play a combination. ... In that zone, they're really long and athletic. They want to make you take jump shots." Hogs want to attack the basket.

— Thinks the trio of 4s are getting better. The team is playing with the needed intensity and sense of urgency. Getting up and down the floor. "I thought it was disruptive for A&M in the second half." Trey Thompson continues to be really good. Arlando Cook and Manny Watkins also came off the bench and were big. Those guys have been good on defense.

— Dustin Thomas has been up and down "but I thought he played hard the last game and did some good things." Playing time goes to whoever's hot.

— Manny Watkins is playing with confidence.

— They've had trouble limiting big scorers, from North Florida to Mississippi State.

— On Manny and Moses being 7-11 from 3 the last 2 games: "I don't even talk about it. Just keep doing what they're doing. ... They're just playing with confidence." Doesn't surprise him they're making them because they work at it. Versatility is big. If defenses have to respect a perimeter shot, it opens up the floor.

— LSU is playing better. Auburn had them down 15 and they cut it to 2. Playing better with young talent. Hogs will try to keep them guessing and slow them down. Sims can shoot the basketball. Mays is a very good young talent.

— R.J. Glasper is recovering well. "Every day he's on the bike or doing some rehab on the sideline." Doing stadium steps. Had a ball the other day and was shooting some 15-foot shots. Still has some time until he can fully recover.
