LSU Tigers at Arkansas Razorbacks – NCAAB Betting Analysis, Odds & Picks
No. 14 Arkansas (23-6 overall, 12-4 SEC) may be wishing coach Eric Musselman gets surgery more often. The Razorbacks coach had surgery following Arkansas’ 87-43 win over Missouri Jan. 12 at home. Since then, Arkansas has supercharged its season, reeling off 13 wins in 14 games, and are currently riding a four-game winning streak.
LSU (20-9, 8-8) has been horrible away from home this season. The Tigers are 2-7 in true road games this season and have dropped two consecutive road games in SEC play. LSU, which has lost two of its past three games, is hoping to avoid a worse slide before the conference tournament starts next week.

LSU leads the SEC in turnovers forced, creating 18.03 turnovers per game. The Tigers also led the conference in total steals with 321 and are second in the conference in field goal percentage defense. Eric Gaines leads the SEC with 64 steals.
