Auburn is at Arkansas on Wednesday.

"They're licking their chops about going at us without a point guard."

He's expecting Arkansas to run his team ragged. Definitely more up-tempo.

He thinks Tyler Harris will be back. It's an injury that responds well to rest and treatment. "He needs to kind of re-group. We're relying on him more. He and Cinmeon give us a couple guys we can count on."

He is expected to actually practice for the first time in a couple weeks.

On Arkansas forward Moses Kingsley: "He's a handful, but between Tyler and Horace ... we have enough guys on the front line. We should be OK. He's a guy who has improved tremendously."

On staying positive: "I think we can play a lot better than we're playing. So that's discouraging. I'm still a believer, but you still get disappointed. So we beat New Mexico (in December) and that 6-3 could have been 7-2 or 8-1. It started to unravel very quickly. Dunans is a very big piece for us."

Dunans goes to the doc Thursday. "He's getting closer as far as his therapy goes."

The second prodcedure (done in January) repaired bleeding and swelling associated with the first procedure done in December.

"He's on schedule now. His quad strength still isn't there."
