For a half at least LSU was playing an ugly but winning game of basketball against the No. 20 Arkansas Razorbacks. The Tigers were having issues finding good shots, but so too was Arkansas and LSU scratched and clawed its way to a 37-32 first half lead.
But Saturday in Bud Walton was a true tale of two halves, and while LSU played a hideous second half Arkansas came alive, handing LSU its second straight loss 83-75.
The loss drops LSU to 14-8 and 9-6 overall and keeps LSU squarely in the crosshairs of the dreaded bubble for the NCAA Tournament.
