Arkansas enters this game as a 4.0-point favorite for the win, but I am expecting a close encounter between these two teams. LSU (11-1) has had a good start to the season and is on a six-game winning run. But the Tigers are set to face their stiffest challenge thus far with the Razorbacks (11-1) winning seven in a row prior to making this trip to Baton Rouge.
As a team, Arkansas is scoring 79.4 points per game and allowing 61.9 points on the defensive end. LSU also holds a quality point differential –scoring 73 points per game and giving up 63.9 per game.
Ricky Council IV leads the Razorbacks in scoring this season with an average of 18.3 points per game, while fellow guard Anthony Black is scoring 12.6 points per game with 4.9 rebounds and 3.7 assists.
Meanwhile, for the Tigers, senior forward KJ Williams is the top –averaging 19.3 points and 8.3 rebounds per game. Adam Miller is the next-best scorer this season for LSU with 13.5 points each contest.
