The LSU men’s basketball team fought valiantly in a hostile environment but the Tigers (20-10, 8-9) ultimately came up short against a red hot Arkansas Razorbacks team (24-6, 13-4).
Wednesday was a tightly fought game that was unfortunately marred by officiating. A total of 40 fouls were called, 25 on LSU and 15 on Arkansas. Tari Eason, MWani Wilkinson, and Arkansas’s Jaylin Williams all fouled out; Efton Reid and Xavier Pinson also had four fouls, just for good measure.
LSU came into Wednesday in desperate need of a big win with tournament play looming and almost got it.
