There are a lot of shorts in the market and the big question is demand. The market will keep a close eye on the statistics, which will shed light on demand.
Unfortunately they've lost some close games, but I don't look at a team as good or bad if two or three games were decided by three points either way. Arkansas played really well at home against South Carolina, and we'll have to be much better than we were against Alabama.
We just were not good enough to close it out. That's a compliment to Florida, too, because they made it a little more difficult.
Tyrus Thomas really makes a difference around the goal. Every time he gets close to somebody, they think he's going to be there to block the shot it seems. So, Tyrus helps us around the goal.
As close as they are, it becomes like two brothers in a fist fight. Our practice goes straight to meltdown mode.
It's been unfortunate for them. They lost a few close games, but I don't look at a team as a good team or a bad team based on two or three points that could have gone either way. I've always thought Arkansas was as good and as talented a team as there is in the league.
But I don't know of any other team in the country that's having the success at this level with players from as close by as this. We have good high school coaching in this area and state, and that's why we produce so many good players.
College basketball is something, isn't it? I thought we had the game won on a couple of different occasions when we had 14-point leads. We made some careless turnovers. For about a six minute stretch, we didn't make the proper decisions to close the game out.
