LSU Tigers

LSU Tigers are currently struggling with a 1-9 league record in the SEC, but they are set to face the only team they have defeated this season, Arkansas. In their previous victory against Arkansas, Cam Carter led the team with 27 points and a perfect free throw shooting. Carter has been a standout player for LSU, averaging 17.0 PPG and leading the team in scoring. Jordan Sears also provides a scoring boost off the bench, averaging 13.8 PPG. Daimion Collins is the top frontcourt performer, averaging 8.2 PPG and 4.3 RPG.

In terms of rankings, LSU is 81st overall according to KenPom, with a ranking of 113th in offensive efficiency and 59th in defensive efficiency. The team averages 77.32 points per game on offense and allows 72.27 points per game on defense. They have a shooting percentage of 45.75% from the field, 30.91% from three-point range, and 75.56% from the free-throw line. Defensively, they allow opponents to shoot 40.81% from the field, 32.20% from three-point range, and 69.62% from the free-throw line.

Despite their current standing, LSU would likely need to win the SEC Tournament to advance to the NCAA Tournament, given their performance so far this season.

Arkansas Razorbacks Analysis

The Arkansas Razorbacks have had a slow start in conference play, but they have recently turned things around with stronger performances, including impressive wins over ranked opponents like Kentucky and Kansas. They narrowly lost to #3 Alabama in their recent game, showing potential for a strong comeback in the rest of the season. Led by players like Zvonimir Ivisic, Adou Theiro, and Boogie Fland, the Razorbacks have the talent to make a run at the Tournament. Despite their current 3-7 conference record, they are ranked 41st overall and are on the cusp of the bubble in Bracketology. Their offensive and defensive statistics are solid, with room for improvement in some areas. Overall, Arkansas has the potential to make a strong push in the remainder of the season.

Arkansas Poised to Defeat LSU in Rematch, Experts Recommend Betting on Razorbacks

LSU's season has been characterized by a lack of success in conference play, with only one win over Arkansas thus far. However, recent developments have shifted the landscape in the intervening month since that victory. Following their loss to LSU, Arkansas has demonstrated a significant improvement in form, securing wins over strong opponents such as Georgia, Kentucky, and Texas, and challenging the third-ranked Alabama. In the upcoming rematch on their home court, Arkansas is poised to capitalize on their defensive strengths, with a unit ranked 29th in national efficiency. Conversely, LSU's offensive capabilities pale in comparison, sitting at 113th in efficiency. The team's reliance on perimeter scorers leaves them vulnerable in the absence of a strong frontcourt presence. Arkansas's defensive strategy of isolating post defenders will disrupt LSU's offensive flow, ultimately leading to a victory for Arkansas at home. I recommend betting on Arkansas to cover the spread.
