Tigers Set to Host Razorbacks at Pete Maravich Assembly Center in Baton Rouge Showdown

As the LSU Tigers prepare to welcome the Arkansas Razorbacks to the Pete Maravich Assembly Center, fans can anticipate a thrilling encounter on their home court. The Tigers have been showcasing a strong offensive game in recent matchups, with an impressive victory over Lamar Cardinals where they scored 87 points. Their ability to convert from inside the paint was evident as they shot approximately 65 percent on two-point attempts and dominated with 44 points in that area.

The team's defensive efforts have also been noteworthy, with steals reaching double digits against both Lamar and Alabama State Hornets. This defensive prowess has contributed significantly to their fast break points, which were 19 against Lamar and 14 versus Alabama State.

However, it's not all smooth sailing for LSU; despite these strengths, they faced a setback against Texas Longhorns where they put up a respectable 85 points but ultimately fell short. The Tigers will need to tighten their defense as they allowed Texas to shoot over 54 percent from the field.

Rebounding has been another area of success for LSU, outrebounding opponents in recent games which could be crucial against Arkansas. Maintaining control of the boards will be vital for second-chance opportunities and limiting Arkansas' possessions.

The upcoming game promises an intense battle as both teams vie for supremacy on February 3rd at Pete Maravich Assembly Center in Baton Rouge.
