FAYETTEVILLE -- Arkansas will host No. 23 Ole Miss Wednesday night at 6 p.m. in SEC action.

Arkansas (11-3, 0-1) fell to No. 1 Tennessee 76-52 Saturday in Knoxville. Ole Miss (12-2, 1-0) defeated Georgia 63-51 in its SEC opener. Arkansas assistant coach Chin Coleman provided a scouting report on Ole Miss Tuesday.

"Pretty much similar to a lot of the teams in this league," Coleman said. "This league is unforgiving. It’s got like an NBA feel to it. Every game is going to be a high-level game. There’s no days off. There’s no easy challenges. There’s no easy wins. You’re going to have to earn everything you get in this league. Ole Miss is one of those teams that is really tough. They recruit to their system. Another game in which we’re going to have to be more physical than them. We’re going to have to obviously do a better job on the offensive glass. 

"They’re systemic in terms of their motion and everybody is a weapon. They can go one-on-one from one through five. So they have a balanced attack in terms of their offense because of their style of play. So it’s going to be a challenge for us. But for me and for us as a staff and our team, no matter whether you win or you lose it’s always about our response. So I’m excited about our response. I was excited about our response in our first possession of practice. I’m equally excited for our first possession of practice today and so on and so forth. Just a challenge. Another challenge. We’ve got to be more prepared for this one than we were the last time out."

Tennessee outrebounded Arkansas 51-29 on Saturday. They had 24 offensive rebounds. Coleman was asked if anything on the film has told the Hogs what happened Saturday?

"We emphasized it," Coleman said. "But I think that now we understand. The thing we emphasize I think we’re able to now have their attention in terms of … you know … We got enough stops. They still shot under 40%. We just didn’t obviously capitalize on it when we made them miss of securing the rebound. So we are doing a better job if not emphasizing it even more. Which we did extremely, how well of an offensive rebounding team Tennessee was. I think that now our antennas are up and we’re prepared for this challenge."

Another issue for the Hogs has been one of the key offseason additions Johnell "Nelly" Davis is struggling. In 25 minutes against Tennessee he missed all four of his shots and just had two rebounds for the game with no points. He is one of the older players who must play well for the Hogs to have a shot at winning.

"Yeah, we’re going to — coach is going to try to do some things to get him going," Coleman said. "But obviously, being out for 2-3 weeks, that’s a tough game to come back and rehab again, when it’s a very high, high level game. He wasn’t prepared. I don’t think anyone in his situation would just come out and be lights out and shoot lights out and play lights out after having so much time off and coming into that game. So we’re trying to work him back into what we’re doing and we’re going to try to do as much as we can to get him some easy looks, not that all of his attempts are 3s. We think that Johnell is a scorer who can score on all three levels, so we’re trying to help him, but he’s putting in the work to help himself. It’ll happen. He’ll play better, he’ll come through. We have all the confidence in the world in him."

Ole Miss is getting good guard play from Sean Pedulla, Jaylen Murray, Matthew Murrell and Dre Davis.

"They’re very dynamic," Coleman said. "They run a system of which there is no absolute. There's not a pattern that you can say they’re absolutely going to do this, or they’re absolutely going to do that. A lot of teams have that kind of system where you know what it is they’re going to do. These guys run motion, and it’s all random and it’s all different. And so, while they’re moving and cutting and screening, because you’re going to have to guard every kind of screen there is in the game of basketball. There’s going to be pin downs. There’s going to be flex screens. There’s going to be rip screens. There’s going to be flare screens. There’s going to be staggers and doubles, and while all that stuff’s going on, these guys do a great job of getting you to occupy against all of the screening actions, and then that gives them an opportunity to go 1-on-1. And all three of them can break off at any time and go 1-on-1, but they’re not the only ones. The 4 men that they play, they can also go 1-on-1.

"When they put (Jaemyn) Brakefield at the 5, or at the 4, he can also go 1-on-1. So, everybody is a weapon in their offense, and they do a good job of finding those opportunities to go 1-on-1. Those guys are probably at the top of the scouting report for that, and so we’ve got to do a good job of understanding the main thing is, the ball scores. Are they doing all this screening and all this moving and cutting and all that? We’ve got to be cognizant of where the ball is and that the ball scores, and that we won’t leave anybody on an island by himself, and that this becomes a 1-on-1 game."

Considering the margin of defeat against the Vols is Coleman concerned that loss could turn into two or three?

"Absolutely not," Coleman said. "We never want to let one game beat us twice. We’ve won seven out of our last eight games, so we’re not going to just act like that stuff didn’t happen. We are who we are. We’re a good basketball team. We had a bad night, bad day, at the office. We want to take what we can from that so that doesn’t happen again, so that we can be better the next time out. Again, it’s about the response. Whether you win or lose, it’s always about the response, and we have fighters in our locker room. I’m excited again for practice today. We had a helluva day at practice yesterday, and if yesterday is anything like today, we’ll be prepared to flight the fight on Wednesday."

Chris Beard's teams are known for playing tough, outstanding defense. Did facing Tennessee and Rick Barnes help prepare the team for Wednesday's game?

"I feel like we got some good looks," Coleman said. "I don't think we made them at the clip we would've obviously wanted to make them against their defense. We were able to create some open looks for our guys, and we took those shots and we were pleased with some of the shots that we took. In hindsight, after a game, you watch the film, obviously there's always some stuff you felt like you'll feel like you can do better. I'm sure coach, when he watched the game, he wanted to do some other things, but that's always the case and Coach is going to continue to put us in the right positions to get the best shots and create good shots for each other. And it's up to us as individuals to make those shots.

"Mississippi and this league, you got probably six or seven teams that are in the top 25 Ken Pom defenses in the country. So, it's just the nature of the league that we're in, Ole Miss is another good defensive team. We're a good defensive team, but we're used to playing against those kinds of teams or playing against ourselves even. And when we get our shots again, I know that guys are waiting in line to get the opportunity to have those same shots, this time we have confidence in our guys that they'll make them."

Coleman said the Hogs are hoping for a great crowd at Bud Walton Arena Wednesday night.

"That’s a good question, a great question," Coleman said. "Probably one of the better questions. I was hoping to get that one because we need for that building to feel like it's felt the times that we’ve come in here now (assuming he means Kentucky). We need the fans to support the Razorbacks the way that they’ve supported them, what we’ve seen when we were with the opposing team. Now we’re family. We’re Razorbacks. We wanted it to feel the way it’s felt when we’ve come in here as an opposer, as the enemy. We need the building rocking. We need the building turned all the way up to help our men feed off that energy. I’ve seen it before. I’ve witnessed it before, where you can’t even call out… I’m normally one of the loudest persons in the building on the sidelines.  Our guys hear me when I scream out different calls and when I scream out different schematics. Everybody hears me. I have been in this building before where I have not been heard, so that is what I need for that building, and what we need for that building to feel like."

The tip is set for 6 p.m. Wednesday night and televised on ESPN2.
