Arkansas comes into this game playing excellent basketball over their last few months. LSU has been a bit inconsistent this season, but is fighting for a NCAA Tournament spot. LSU has been very sharp on defense and will have to be to contain a high-powered Arkansas attack. I don’t think you can go against Arkansas while they are on this run and at home.
