Pregame
Arkansas' starting lineup: Jalen Tate, Moses Moody, Davonte Davis, Vance Jackson and Connor Vanover.
On the Razorbacks' pre-game show, Eric Musselman said the plan to begin the game is for Vanover to essentially stand in the lane and serve as a rim protector and defensive rebounder, not paying attention to LSU small forward Mwani Wilkinson, who has attempted one 3 all season. Arkansas is going to dare him to beat them from the perimeter.
If that plan doesn't work, Musselman said, the staff will scrap it. But that is how Arkansas will open tonight's game defensively.
