They Said It:
"I think everyone handles different things differently," said Arkansas center Travis Swanson. "We had high expectations coming into the season and this is kind of a shock to all of us and we are trying to figure out what we need to do to fix everything. Do I think the season is over? No, not at all. I think it's still just beginning and we can still turn this season around and make it a great one."
