Arkansas-LSU Prediction
Look at the LSU Tigers. They have become so noticeably responsible. This is not the LSU team we are used to seeing. The Tigers usually slip on the banana peel and give away a few games they have no business losing. That is not happening this season. The Tigers made it through January without a single SEC loss. They might not be as good as Tennessee or Kentucky, but they have clearly been better than 11 other teams in the league. LSU fans could certainly get used to this. This is what their program needed to be – and could have been – for many years. It’s how the Tigers should have been able to perform with Ben Simmons, but Johnny Jones could never create this standard of performance. Will Wade is putting the pieces together. The Bayou Bengals should be able to handle Arkansas without much of a problem. LSU 80, Arkansas 69. (Matt Zemek)
