In the second half, Arkansas clearly was fresher. We did not have the energy to speed things up. We did not turn Arkansas over a lot. It takes energy to create offense or defense, and we needed more energy.

By adding billions of gallons of motor fuel to the U.S. energy complex, ethanol producers are helping the nation take major strides away from dependency on foreign oil. Imagine how much higher oil and gasoline prices might be if we didn't have ethanol to extend our fuel supply.

Sparks makes that team better because he's so versatile. He's a threat from three, he takes big shots and he does a great job of getting his teammates involved.

We've come from behind three times from 9 points or more, so we know we can come from behind. We're not going to physically overwhelm people, we're just not. We've got to wear them down.

I am very disappointed in these young men. Our players need to take their responsibility for being a role model seriously, and if they don't act responsibly they won't be playing at Tennessee.

Arkansas is a very good team. They could be a team that could get in the tournament and make some noise.
