I don't want to take anything away from Birmingham-Southern, but they're a very hard team to prepare from in one day. It's hard to get them out of the pace they want to play.

Look at their team and the personnel they have. I think everybody in this league would all agree Arkansas is good enough to handle everybody in this league. They played terrific in Tuscaloosa. We were fortunate enough to win.

They're just a terrific team, and John's done a terrific job with them. [Senior guard Darrel] Mitchell is playing at a high, high level, and their front line is just tremendous, too.

I think I'm about the only one on this team who has ever been to Birmingham and seen what it looks like. But we should be ready. It might take a few trips down court, but we'll adjust. There will be a lot of things going on that can capture our attention, but we will have to block that out once game time is here.

We definitely prepare really hard for every team and these teams [Pennsylvania and Vanderbilt] are really competitive. Every game we have a target on our backs as the No. 3 team in the nation and everyone gets ready for us, so we have to get ready for everyone else.

I pushed very hard to get Jenson here...it's the best for the team to have two strong guys, it's good for the sponsors and the results at the end of the day.
