Dan Dakich is taking the mic to talk about Arkansas and the Hoosier NCAA draw.

"I've seen a really good team." Compared them to Mich. State in the way they run.

"I don't know if any team in the Big Ten has the size."

He praised the senior leadership of Arkansas, pointing to their effort in a losing cause in the SEC title game. Arkansas fell down quickly, but hung in the entire game.

"You have to slow them down. They talk about SEC athletes in football, its the same thing in basketball. There is a speed factor that we have to be ready for."

Dakich is hammering home the point that offensive rebounds and not "finishing the possession" on the defensive end have hurt the Hoosiers in recent games, most notably Minnesota.

"It behooves us to be more of an attack - you can always back off, but its difficult to get harder," Dakich said about approaching the Arkansas press.
