Arkansas and Mississippi State are very similar. We're both young, thin, don't have any bangers down low, start a lot of small guards, and rely on the three. The biggest difference is today's game was the coaching. Stansbury is a good coach and he has owned Pel both meetings this year.

One thing that hurt today was our PF could not defend their fourth guard, but their fourth guard could defend our PF.  We have a mismatch at one end.  They don't.

inside yes

outside no.   MSU has 4 guards 6-4 or taller.   we have zero

But half of their threes were uncontested. Doesn't matter how tall our defenders are when the shot is wide open
