The Arkansas Razorbacks will look to keep their hot streak going when they host the LSU Tigers on Saturday.
Arkansas (18-5, 10-4 SEC) won each of their last five games including Wednesday night’s 15-point victory over the sixth-ranked Alabama Crimson Tide. Freshman guard Moses Moody scored a game-high 24 points, aided by making 16-of-19 free throws. The Razorbacks went on a 17-2 run in the second half, and the program continues to soar in the right direction in Eric Musselman’s second season in charge. Arkansas is 2.5 games behind Alabama for the top spot in the SEC.
LSU (14-7, 9-5 SEC) could move into a tie with Arkansas for second place in the conference with a road victory. The Tigers had won three straight before a 13-point road loss to the Georgia Bulldogs on Tuesday. Freshman guard Cameron Thomas went for 21 points on 7-of-19 shooting from the floor. The Tigers rank seventh in adjusted offensive efficiency this season.
