Arkansas basketball heads into play this afternoon without its head coach as Eric Musselman continues to recover from shoulder surgery. Assistant Keith Smart will serve as the interim head coach this afternoon. Arkansas is coming off a Wednesday thrashing of Missouri and looks to pick up its second SEC win of the season against a talented, tough LSU squad.
The Hogs (11-4, 1-3) got thrashed themselves in their last visit to Red Stick. The 2020-21 Razorbacks got humbled at LSU last year, losing 92-76 in a game that wasn’t even as close as the score suggests. Arkansas turned the tables on the Tigers in their February rematch at Bud Walton before losing again to LSU in the SEC Tournament. Arkansas is 34-29 against LSU since joining the SEC, though the Tigers have won 18 of 29 games played in Baton Rouge during that time.
LSU is coming off a road win at Florida on Wednesday, a game in which they played without star point guard Xavier Pinson. He missed the game after suffering a knee injury against Tennessee last weekend and is also expected to miss today’s game. Razorbacks guard Kamani Johnson, who started on Wednesday against Missouri, is listed as doubtful for the game with an ankle injury.
Tip off from the Pete Maravich Assembly Center in Baton Rouge is 1:00pm and can be seen on ESPN2.
