X-Factor Tonight

FWIW he is 6'10. Not sure why he is listed at 6'11.

Portis isn't a banger. He isn't a rebound machine, although he can block shots. The tough thing about stopping Portis is his accuracy from three ball land and mid range jumpers.

"Under the radar" guys to watch that can make a big difference for Arkansas:

Manny Watkins
Jacorey Williams
Anthlon Bell

Another thing to keep an eye out for is whether Alandise Harris is back from a foot injury. He didn't play against Iona due to a foot injury. He is a senior and a starter and a big, wide presence in the post.

Not that it matters but he grew an inch over the summer when they measured him at the Nike Skills Academy. The 6'11 is legit. Measured out of high school with no shoes = between 6'9 and 6'9.5 by various camps. Measured this summer without shoes = 6'10.5.

I just hope the crowd is amped up from the get-go. Even if we start slow this is a top 20 matchup. I hope this has a Kansas type atmosphere tonight

Quals/BDJ should be a fun matchup.

My X-factor is Hogue. Hopefully he's not an empty jersey as he's been recently. He at least needs to rebound.
