I thought we did a nice job on the boards, and I thought our defense was solid. We have held our last five teams under 35 percent shooting and then when you rebound the basketball like we did, it helps you to be successful.

We were able to take Arkansas' strengths away from them, and it was really a solid all around defensive effort. The nice thing about our basketball team is you are going to have a different person step up on any night of the week.

We had opportunities and we turn the ball over and we're better than that. We worked to not hold the ball for so long because it strengthens the defense. Sometimes in those stretches, we tried to make the home run pass for the easy score but ended up turning it over.

We talked about it at the beginning of the season -- that we had a very tough stretch to open the SEC schedule. We only have two losses to non-top-20 teams, and our team understands that. Our team is very focused on the big picture. We're in a very good place, and we're in a position to do extremely well.
