The LSU men’s basketball team has been playing very high-level basketball over the last month, but that stretch came to an end on Wednesday night in Fayetteville against Arkansas.
The Tigers lost 94-83 after winning four of their previous five games, falling to 16-14 on the season and back below .500 in SEC play at 8-9.
The first half was competitive in the early goings, but LSU’s only lead in the game was a 7-6 mark less than three minutes in. The Tigers trailed by seven at the half and by a game-high 14 points in the second frame before ultimately losing by 11.
[autotag]Jordan Wright[/autotag] and [autotag]Tyrell Ward[/autotag] had big games, scoring 24 and 19 respectively. But LSU’s defense didn’t give it a chance to win as the Razorbacks shot over 60% from the field for the game, which helped mask their 15 turnovers.
The Tigers can’t dwell on the loss too much as they’ll now look to finish the season strong on Senior Day Saturday against a Missouri team looking to avoid an 0-18 finish in SEC play.
