Nice preview Astro.

The only thing I would change, would be Arkansas has a better win than Nebraska. Before the two game set this week, UNLV was a top 10 RPI club(according to Warren Nolan) and Arkansas split 1-1 Tues/Wed of this week. Lost 10-7 and won 9-2.

Arkansas is coming off a big series win over then #1 South Carolina 2 games to 1. Arkansas had a slow start offensively this seasons the Hogs have lost 7 games so far this season by a single run. Arkansas has scored at least 7 runs in their last 3 games and have scored 4 or more runs in 6 of their last 7 games.

The Hogs so far are 6-5 against RPI Top 25 teams and 8-8 against Top 50 foes.

I look forward to the Arkansas/LSU series each year. Although LSU certainly seems to have our number, the games are always exciting and usually always are meaningful. Whether they're just regular season SEC games or meeting in Omaha.

Good luck to your Tigers.

you're right. I actually put that part of the preview together on Monday night and forgot to update it. same goes for the record vs RPI. I'll update both.

also, I'm aware of their recent offensive output. that seems to big topic of discussion up there, as it would be in BR if it ever happens to us

but I went based on a season's worth of data and I like our staff in this match up to work around Anderson and keep the rest in line enough to tame.

thanks for reading and providing your thoughts
