Arkansas basketball is heating up.
And that applies to both the men’s and women’s teams.
Coach Mike Neighbors’ women’s team blasted No. 12 LSU on Thursday night from Bud Walton Arena, 90-76. The game wasn’t even that close as the Razorbacks took a 20-point lead into the fourth quarter.
The victory was the team’s third in their last four games. Other than a surprise loss to Vanderbilt, the only other two defeats Arkansas has had in SEC play have come at the hands of No. 4 Tennessee and No. 1 South Carolina and the Hogs (14-6, 4-3) were in both of those until the fourth.
Amber Ramirez scored 25 points and Samara Spencer and Makayla Daniels each added 20 in the win Thursday. As a team Arkansas shot 13 of 25 from 3-point range and held LSU to just 4 of 14 from range. The Hogs also forced 16 turnovers and scored 20 off of them to counter a 10-rebound deficit on the glass.
The Razorbacks will get their second ranked team in a row come Monday when they travel to Knoxville for a second game against the Volunteers.
