On the road this season LSU has an elite offensive team averaging 81.2 points per game, but the defense has let them down giving up 81.5 points. 

LSU is led by guard Skyler Mays who is averaging 16.2 points while shooting 49.1 percent from the field. In this game if LSU wants to come away with a win, Mays and the rest of the offense is going to need to have a big game. 

The Arkansas Razorbacks have been up and down this season and over the last eight games they have only two wins. In the last game Arkansas’s defense let them down in a big way giving up 99 points against Georgia. 

Arkansas’s offense is usually strong but their defense is what at times has let them down in a big way. At home this season Arkansas is giving up 62.7 points per game and they are going to need the defense to be strong. 

Guard Mason Jones is the star for the Razorbacks averaging 21.3 points while shooting 43.8 percent from the field.

These are both teams who can score a lot of points, and it’s going to happen again in this one.
