It's only been a few days since Arkansas basketball's monumental upset of Kentucky, but with Texas on deck, there's little time to take it in. Given the struggles the Hogs have faced this season, the game against the Longhorns is a must-win to maintain momentum.
Part of that equation is riding the energy from Saturday's game. Bringing that intensity into the stadium of another of Arkansas's biggest rivalries can be the boost it needs to win its first back-to-back SEC games. And all of it starts with limiting Tre Johnson.
Johnson is the go-to scorer for the Longhorns, averaging 19 points a game. On paper, no one else stands out much, not even the Razorbacks' star player from last season, Tramon Mark. However, as a team, Texas scores around 78 points a game. While it's not an elite offense, it's a good one, and the Horn's defense is just as good. They're the most balanced team the Hogs have faced this season.
