And according to Calipari, his team lost its head a little bit on defending the outside shot. Assistant coach Chin Coleman said Wednesday night that the goal was to hold Illinois to about 20 3-point attempts. The Illini finished 15-of-31 in the category, while Arkansas went 5-of-17.

It's certainly not time to panic about Arkansas' basketball team, but there is one disturbing trend that must be acknowledged.
