The crowd might have been lacking in Bud Walton Arena, but the Razorbacks put on a performance fit for 20,000 fans last night.
Arkansas continued its new-found offensive success with a 94-83 win over LSU.
The Tigers might be 16-14, but they were on a small 4-2 streak coming into Fayetteville, with wins against No. 11 South Carolina and No. 12 Kentucky.
They had much to play for, including SEC Tournament seeding and a potential NIT invitation. Instead, LSU met an Arkansas team that—although too little, too late—has started to figure things out.
The Hogs seemingly couldn’t miss, scoring 61% from the floor and 82% from the free throw line. They were also unselfish, with 18 assists to LSU’s 9. From start to finish, Arkansas controlled the game.
The Razorbacks have a chance to stay above .500 for the regular season, but it’ll be tough. Arkansas will have to play No. 16 Alabama in Tuscaloosa to end the season.
The chemistry seems to have finally settled in for Arkansas, but is it enough to beat the Tide and go on a run in the SEC Tournament?
