Tigers Dominate Razorbacks in High-Scoring Showdown at Pete Maravich Assembly Center

The Louisiana State University Tigers showcased a commanding performance against the Arkansas Razorbacks, culminating in a 95-74 victory. The Tigers' season record now stands at an impressive 17-4, while the Razorbacks fall to a less fortunate 12-9. The game was marked by high efficiency on both ends of the court for the home team, with significant contributions across their roster.

At Baton Rouge's Pete Maravich Assembly Center, the Tigers started strong and never looked back. They led by 15 points at halftime and continued to build on that lead throughout the second half. The team's shooting was particularly noteworthy; they hit an exceptional 55 percent from the field and an even more impressive 52 percent from beyond the arc.

The LSU defense was equally formidable, registering six blocks and five steals over the course of play. This defensive hustle translated into offense as they scored 19 points off turnovers caused by their aggressive play style. On top of that, their ball distribution was on point with seventeen assists leading to well-executed baskets.

One area where LSU outshone Arkansas was in free throw accuracy – sinking shots at an almost perfect rate of 89 percent compared to Arkansas' solid but lower rate of 70 percent. This sharpshooting contributed significantly to maintaining their lead throughout the game.

Arkansas did put up a fight despite being outmatched this time around. They managed fast break points totaling nineteen thanks to quick transitions and capitalized on second-chance opportunities with eight points following offensive rebounds.

However, it wasn't enough against a determined LSU side that seemed unstoppable when it came to scoring inside; thirty points were recorded in paint plays alone for them compared with thirty-eight for Arkansas.
