FAYETTEVILLE — Kentucky’s struggles this season have no bearing on what kind of preparation the University of Arkansas will put in for tonight’s game at Rupp Arena, Coach Eric Musselman said.

The Wildcats, 5-12 overall, have a 3-4 record at home this season, including losses to Richmond, Notre Dame, Alabama and Tennessee.

Arkansas has lost three games in a row at Rupp since the Razorbacks went 16 of 16 at the free-throw line in a 71-67 decision in overtime on Feb. 27, 2014.

“As a coach, your prep is the same,” Musselman said. “I think when you say the word ‘Kentucky,’ I don’t have to oversell their talent. I don’t have to oversell how hard it is to go into their building and win.

“Our players are smart. They understand that. They understand the level of McDonald’s All-Americans or the level of their talent. I think from that aspect, it’s a little bit different, but as far as the number of baseline out-of-bounds plays that we’re defending, the number of half-court plays that we’re defending, and the themes that we’re trying to come up with on their top three or four players, I think all those things remain very, very consistent in our approach.”

Pushing back

There has been some discussion about the viability and wisdom of conference tournaments this season with the NCAA requiring seven consecutive days of negative testing to allow teams into the NCAA Tournament “bubble” that will be created in Indianapolis for the event.

There has even been talk of some teams who are considered NCAA Tournament locks opting out of their league tourneys. Arkansas Coach Eric Musselman would not be in that group.

“I think it’s pretty obvious that I want to play,” Musselman said. “I wish we had 30 games instead of the 27 [allowed] by the NCAA. I wish we would have started on time and not pushed it back.

“I don’t know what pushing it back did. I have no idea. Football was playing. Why was it pushed back? … Other sports are playing and all of a sudden we decide we’re going to push it back two weeks? For what? I think we owe it to the student-athletes to have as much normalcy as we can, to play as many games as we can.”

Health update

Arkansas guard Desi Sills will be questionable for the game against Kentucky. He took a hard fall onto his left (shooting) arm in the first half of last Tuesday’s 61-45 win over Mississippi State and did not return.

Coach Eric Musselman said he probably would have been doubtful with a stinger had the Razorbacks been able to host Texas A&M on Saturday.

Forward Justin Smith and guard Moses Moody are both expected to play with extra days to rest and rehabilitate ankle injuries.

Forward Jaylin Williams is probable (knee) but might face limited minutes after playing nine minutes last week.

Musselman said team doctors and the athletic training staff would like to see more strength out of Abayomi Iyiola’s knee before turning him loose in games. Iyiola went through limited three-on-three work after practice late last week, but is still a few weeks away from being cleared.

Who’s up?

Arkansas Coach Eric Musselman is reluctant to ever say he’s decided on a starting lineup. For instance, he was asked whether freshman Davonte “Devo” Davis had done enough at off guard to start in case junior Desi Sills is still slowed by his left arm injury.

“We’ve changed our starting lineup a lot of times based on matchups, a lot of times based on injuries as well,” Musselman said Saturday. “Who we start Tuesday is not to be determined right now, because we haven’t had everybody at practice the last couple days. And our game plan is still evolving as we go through some of their sets and look at plan A, plan B and plan C on how to defend some things.

“Not sure who will start, but certainly Devo’s done a great job continuing to develop during the course of this season.”

Late lapses

Kentucky was outscored 34-13 by Tennessee in the final 12 minutes of its 82-71 loss to the Volunteers on Saturday at Rupp Arena.

That was just the latest in a series of late-game failures by Kentucky, which fell to 5-12 overall, 4-6 in the SEC.

“We’re just not executing. It’s not because we’re nervous or anything,” guard Keion Brooks said. “Once stuff starts to hit the fan, we don’t know how to snap back and be like, ‘Ok, we’re going to get the best shot, we’re going to get a stop, we’re going to take care of the ball.’

“I don’t think anyone is scared … we’re just not disciplined enough to close the game out.”

Series update

The Razorbacks will look to break an eight-game losing streak to Kentucky tonight. The Wildcats have won three home games, three road games and a pair of SEC Tournament games in Nashville, Tenn., against Arkansas since the Razorbacks swept two overtime games during the 2013-14 season.

Arkansas won 87-85 at Walton Arena on Michael Qualls’ putback dunk with 1 second left on Jan. 14, then took a 71-67 decision at Rupp Arena on Feb. 27.

Kentucky has won 75% of the games in the series, which it leads 33-11.

Kentucky won 73-66 last season at Walton Arena behind 17 points from Nick Richards, and 13 points each from Immanuel Quickley and Ashton Hagans.

Arkansas rallied from a 38-27 deficit early in the second half into a 47-44 lead after Kentucky Coach John Calipari drew two technical fouls and was ejected.

The Wildcats responded with a 17-2 run to take control at 61-49 over a span of 5:30 with assistant coach Kenny Payne calling the shots. Payne is now an assistant coach with the New York Knicks.

In the summer of 1984, I had just received my letter from Dean Spielmann, the assistant organist of the Notre Dame Cathedral in Luxembourg City. Maestro Albert LeBlanc was inviting me to come to Luxembourg the next July and play an organ concert in the cathedral. It would be part of the Luxembourg Classical Summer Music Festival.

I sat and stared at the letter for the longest time, thinking that maybe I would wake up and that it was just a dream. I was going to play in Europe. For most American organists such an invitation is something you dream about, but something that very seldom ever becomes a reality.

This was not a dream. This was real. So I said to myself, “Self, get-up, dream later, you have work to do.” In the time after I had left Luxembourg and before I returned home to the Upper Peninsula, I had prepared a “to do” list. It was long.

The first thing I had to do was connect with a really good organ teacher, someone whom I admired and someone with whom I could work. I had someone in mind; Ed Berryman, the organist at the Westminster Presbyterian Church in downtown Minneapolis. I had met him on a couple of occasions and had heard him play. He was “my guy.” One of the reasons for my choice was that I needed someone who loved both the Classical and Romantic styles of music.

I already had my recital program made up and I didn’t want to fight with a teacher over what I wanted to play. I needed a teacher to work with me on playing technique, interpretation and registration. It had to be someone who would be passionate about giving his all, and who would really want to guide me to make my “impossible dream” become a reality.

I called Ed and after we exchanged the usual pleasantries I asked him if he would be willing to accept me as a student. He was very nice, but said “no,” I am not taking on any additional students. My schedule is really full, and I’m getting a little older, so I have to say no, but thank you for asking.”

I was disappointed but not ready to give up without a fight (so to speak). A little flattery perhaps? I told him that I wanted Europeans to experience the fact that Americans knew how to play Classical and Romantic organ music too, and that I, through his teaching, could carry that message to Luxembourg. I told him about my whole “Luxembourg experience” and about meeting and hearing Maestro LeBlanc.

I explained why I was so passionate about needing him to make my recital not only possible, but successful. He paused and said “Ok Gerrit, I’ll do it. It sounds interesting.”

I almost cried. I was on my way. We discussed the details of the lesson schedule and together we decided that I would come in for my lesson at 10 a.m. on the first Monday of every month. On the Sunday before my lesson I would leave Houghton after playing my morning service at Trinity Episcopal Church in the U.P., drive to Minneapolis, and spend the night. On Monday morning, at 9 a.m., I would have the organ to myself, and then at 10, I would have my lesson with Ed. It was supposed to be a one hour lesson, but it usually lasted at least two hours or more. Ed liked to talk as much as I did.

After the lesson, I would drive the 350 miles back to Houghton and arrive home in the evening. It would become my routine for the next 10 months: summer, fall, winter and spring. It was a good thing that I loved driving and traveling.

These were the days when C.B. radios were still popular in cars. I enjoyed mine a lot. It provided a connection to other drivers on the road. Everybody that used one had a “handle” (code name) to identify themselves to other users, without having to reveal your real name. My code name (handle) was “The Music Man,” and I had some interesting conversations with truckers. None had ever talked with a church organist, a Dutchman, or someone who drove 700 miles round trip every month to have an organ lesson. By the time we went our separate ways, I was “a Good Buddy.” I had also made cassette tapes of my planned recital pieces so that I could study the music orally. It proved to be time well spent.

The lessons with Ed went well. He was a fantastic teacher/coach, as I knew he would be. He was genuinely interested in what I wanted to accomplish with him and he shared in my enthusiasm. He even asked for copies of the pieces that were unknown to him. I considered that a compliment.

Of course all my other work in the U.P. went on as normal. I had started a community chorus, and we performed some major choral works such as the Christmas section of Handel’s “Messiah” with choir and orchestra. My school choirs were active. My Piano Tuning business provided some extra income. I was playing for the Michigan Tech hockey games, as well as fulfilling my job at Trinity Episcopal, preparing for the upcoming Christmas season.

The folks at the church were just wonderful and extremely helpful. During the winter months, the Sunday services were in the “undercroft” (Episcopal language for “basement.” I needed to practice on the organ as much and as often as possible. A couple of men in my choir built a removable cage that fit over the console. We put a small space heater in the “igloo” as they called it, and voila; I had a heated practice facility during the winter months.

They did impress upon me, “Be sure to leave one side open enough so that air can enter. If you don’t do that we may have to look for another organist, again.”

Needless to say, their advice worked, I am still around.

I had my car checked over before winter; it had a rough winter ahead of it. Everything was fine, except the tires were near the end of their lifetime. I invested in four Blizzak winter tires. I knew I was ready for most anything. Some of the U.P. stretches were pretty lonely areas, and I wanted to be ready for the normal 200-300 inches of snow.

Fall became winter and the long winter turned into welcome signs of spring. Many stories to tell about that period of my life, but they will have to wait until a future time.
