The Arkansas Razorbacks (11-10, 2-6 SEC) have a golden opportunity to begin their first SEC winning streak of the season when they face the LSU Tigers (11-9, 3-4 SEC) later today.
Following the team’s 91-84 win over Missouri on Wednesday, the Hogs arrive in Baton Rouge with some newfound swagger and momentum that had been absent in their last eight contests.
[autotag]Tramon Mark[/autotag] looks to build off of another stellar offensive performance, where he eclipsed 20 points for the seventh tme this year. [autotag]Makhi Mitchell[/autotag] and [autotag]Jalen Graham[/autotag] are also coming off of arguably their best performances of the season.
Mitchell tied his career-high in points, 19, to go with 14 rebounds. It was his second straight double-double as he also notched 13 points and 12 rebounds in last Saturday’s loss to Kentucky.
Graham was extremely active on both ends of the floor on Wednesday and stuffed the stat sheet. He finished with 19 points, 4 assists, 4 steals and 3 blocks, in what was easily his best defensive performance as a Hog.
The Pete Maravich Center in Baton Rouge hasn’t been the most friendly arena for the Razorbacks in recent years. They’ve only won one out of their last four games at LSU, the most recent one being last season’s disappointing 60-57 loss on the same night as the football team’s thrilling Liberty Bowl win over Kansas.
Entering Saturday’s game the Tigers are rested yet wounded as they’ve lost three straight games. Their last outing being a 109-88 blowout loss to Alabama in Tuscaloosa.
It’s a prime opportunity for the Razorbacks to get another win and here’s how you can watch, listen and stream all of the action.
