Six weeks ago LSU ran Arkansas off the PMAC floor, beating the Hogs 92-76 in a game that was even more lopsided than the final score suggests. LSU led by as many as 31 points in the first half, and went on a staggering 40-6 run that essentially ended the game right then and there.
Flash forward to today and Arkansas is surging. The Razorbacks (18-5, 10-4) have won five in a row and are currently ranked No. 20 in this week’s AP Poll. Arkansas has also fortified Bud Walton Arena, boasting a 14-1 home record and have won its last eight conference games.
