FAYETTEVILLE — Asked if he remains confident his young team can still make a run in conference play, Arkansas coach Mike Anderson did not hesitate in his response.
"Without a doubt," he said Monday in previewing Georgia, who beat Texas 98-88 in Athens on Saturday as part of the Big 12/SEC Challenge and travels to Bud Walton Arena on Tuesday. "I've been more encouraged just from the last couple of games."
The last couple of games defensively for Arkansas had to have been a sight for sore eyes for Anderson, who watched his team allow 1.22 points per possession over a three-game span against LSU, Tennessee and Ole Miss.
