On Saturday, LSU men’s basketball put a beatdown on the Arkansas Razorbacks with a 95-74 victory. The Tigers outscored Arkansas 45-30 in the first half and 50-44 in the second half as they made sure the game was never in jeopardy of being lost.

It was the fourth conference victory of the year for LSU and a great tune-up for the Tigers before they travel to Knoxville to take on the No. 5 Tennessee Volunteers next Wednesday. After the game, McMahon credited the Tigers’ ball movement for the big victory.
“I thought our efficiency was really good because of the unselfish play,” McMahon said per On3. “Big concern for us coming into the game was Arkansas was, I believe, fourth or fifth in getting to the free-throw line in the country. So they get there 33 times tonight but we got there 28 and made 25 of them because of the spacing and some strong drives that our players were making and the good decision-making.”
If LSU wants to keep winning conference games, they will need to distribute the ball the way they did against Arkansas.
