From the opening quarter, the LSU Lady Tigers set an aggressive pace with a lead of 25-16. They continued their offensive onslaught by adding another dominant quarter with 30 points to the Razorbacks' 12. By halftime, it was clear that the home team had taken control of the game. The third and fourth quarters saw consistent scoring from LSU with an additional 44 points combined against Arkansas's collective effort of 40 points in both periods.


The statistics reveal just how much LSU outperformed their opponents; they nearly doubled Arkansas's total rebounds with an impressive count of 60 compared to just 33 for the visitors. Their field goal percentage stood at a solid forty-nine percent on seventy-four attempts, while their three-point shots were successful forty percent of the time on twenty attempts.


LSU's players showed remarkable synergy on court as evidenced by their twenty-six assists which greatly contributed to their fluid offense throughout the game. This teamwork was further highlighted by an assist-to-turnover ratio of over two, indicating efficient ball handling and decision-making under pressure.


Defensively, LSU also held strong; they blocked five shots and made five steals which disrupted Arkansas's rhythm and contributed to fourteen points off turnovers for LSU. In contrast, Arkansas managed seven blocks but could only convert those opportunities into six points off turnovers due to less effective counterattacks.


Arkansas did show resilience in certain aspects; they excelled at free throws making ninety-four percent from seventeen attempts and made twelve three-pointers out of forty-seven attempts despite shooting only twenty-six percent from beyond the arc overall.


As fans look ahead after this resounding victory for LSU Lady Tigers basketball team, attention turns toward their next challenge: facing off against South Carolina Gamecocks away from home turf. This upcoming contest is scheduled for January twenty-fifth at seven PM Central Time at Pete Maravich Assembly Center in Baton Rouge where fans can catch all action live on ESPN channel two hundred six.
