I could wax poetically about why LSU (16-14, 8-9) lost to Arkansas in Bud Walton Arena Wednesday night but it’s really as simple as this: Arkansas couldn’t miss.
More often than not going on the road and scoring 83 points would be enough to steal a win. Unfortunately for LSU, Arkansas shot 60 percent overall and 75 percent on two-pointers.
Arkansas’s Khalif Battle led all players with 29 points and was 13-14 from the free throw line. Makhi Mitchell chipped in 19 points, and El Ellis added 16 for a well-balanced Arkansas attack. Arkansas led for essentially the entire game.
