Nice win over Arkansas 84-58...

took care of business on the road, very methodical, jumped them early and took the crowd out of the game, and pretty much dominated from start to finish, right after Arky nearly upset Tennessee a few days ago. That's how a top 16 team is supposed to handle a team like Arkansas.

Next up Thursday is a tricky game @Auburn, with their constant pressure defense and coach who thinks we are a "dirty, dirty team". They are only 13-11, and tonight barely beat an awful Vandy team, at home, 63-60. But they dominated the turnover battle against Vandy, 24-8, as usual. It will be their biggest strength against our biggest weakness, and their best chance for keeping the game close and hanging around and having a chance to steal a game, with us maybe caught looking ahead to the huge showdown against Tennessee on Sunday.

I'm a little worried about the game Thursday, for several reasons. Hope we come out hard and efficient like tonight and get a big lead early and don't let them hang around and hang around. Chavis has to have confidence after breaking out of her slump tonight. She needs to be a factor Thursday.
