Weil FAYETTEVILLE, AR - A struggling LSU basketball team traveled to chilly Fayetteville to rematch the Razorbacks who had revenge on their mind after falling to the Tigers in Baton Rouge earlier in the season and got it as they defeated LSU, 70-58. Since the Bayou Bengal's defeated Arkansas at home on January 14, the Tigers have dropped seven straight. Different game, same story. LSU simply can't play at a high level for 40 minutes against SEC competition. The lack of offensive firepower continues to haunt this team. The Tigers also had no answer for Arkansas' 7-2 center Ivisic Zuonimir on either side of the floor. He scored 25 points and blocked four shots. LSU shot 39% from the floor on the night. They hit only 5-20 from behind the arc for 25%. They made 3-6 free throws. The Tigers committed nine total turnovers and were out-rebounded, 39-33. Robert Miller III led the team with 16 points. Cam Carter finished with 13. Vyctorius Miller added 9 points. Corey Chest finished with 7. Derek Fountain contributed 5 points. Daimion Collins scored 4. Jordan Sears and Dji Bailey only scored 2 points each. LSU jumped out to an early 5-0 lead but would then be outscored by the Hogs, 11-4 over the next couple of minutes. Arkansas led, 11-9 at the 15:31 official's timeout. During the media timeout, the official's reviewed one of Arkansas' baskets that was ruled a goal-tend and it was seen that LSU didn't touch the ball on the missed shoot so they took the two points off the board. That adjusted the game score to a 9-9 tie at the 15:31 mark. Arkansas went on a 8-2 run to take a 21-16 advantage, forcing Matt McMahon to call a timeout with 7:58 left in the first half. LSU continued to play hard and well, cutting the Hog's lead to two, 28-26 with 3:50 left in the half. The Tigers played well during the final three minutes of the half, outscoring Arkansas, 9-6. Vyctorius Miller hit a three pointer at the buzzer to give LSU a 35-34 lead at the break. LSU shot 42% from the floor in the first half. They sank 4-14 three point attempts for 29%. The Tigers need to be better at the free throw line in the second half, as they were 1-4 for 25% from the charity stripe. LSU did a great job of taking care of the ball over the first 20 minutes with only three turnovers. Arkansas won the first half rebound battle, 24-18. Cam Carter led the team at the break with 8 points. Corey Chest scored 7 points. Robert Miller III added 6 points. Derek Fountain finished with 5. Vyctorius Miller has 3 points. Jordan Sears, Dji Bailey and Daimion Collins added 2 points each. Arkansas outscored LSU, 9-6 early in the second half as the Tigers found themselves falling into foul trouble. Jordan Sears, Dji Bailey and Daimion Collins all committed their third foul by the 15:21 mark with the Hog's holding a 43-41 lead. The Tigers continued to fight and play well, but Arkansas raised their level of play to go on a 10-4 run to extend their lead to, 53-45, forcing LSU to call a timeout to try and stop the bleeding with 12:29 left on the clock. LSU slowly began to revert back to the normal inconsistent play, taking ugly shots and missing easy ones. The Hogs maintained their lead, as the Tigers trailed, 58-50 at the 7:17 mark. The Bayou Bengals couldn't keep pace with the Hogs late in the second half, but refused to quit as they continued to fight and battle to get back into the game. With 2:38 left in the contest, Arkansas led, 65-56. The Tigers are now 12-12 overall and 1-10 in the SEC. Next up, LSU will head to Norman, Oklahoma to play the Sooners on Saturday, Feb. 15 at 5:00 pm. The game will be televised on the SEC Network. John 14:6 - "I am the way and the truth and the life.
