Arkansas head coach Mike Neighbors said the Gamecocks' height has been a problem for them all season and they will try to use their speed to offset. 

"We don't have a really good a answerfor that one. They've really dominated us two times with their size. We'll try to turn it into a track 

meet," he said. "But the problem with doing that against them is t they'repretty good at track meets, too. There's not a weakness they have. We'll have to be on top of our game, hope we can catch them maybe looking past to a championship game or something...They have really established themselves as clearly one 

of the best teams in the country. The size is just part of it It's athletic size, agile size, strong size. They know how to play basketball. They're coached by the Olympic team coach. Got our work cut out for us tomorrow."
