Honoring Razorback seniors

• Immediately after the Arkansas-LSU game, the Department of Athletics will honor senior basketball players Jimmy Whitt Jr., Adrio Bailey, Jeantal Cylla and Jamario Bell.

• Also set to be recognized is manager Greg Croll and four-year student athletic trainer Caleb Maddock.

• Whitt, Cylla and Bell all have their degrees and Bailey is on track to receive his.

Against LSU

• This will be the 69th meeting between Arkansas and LSU. This is the 59th meeting since the Razorbacks joined the SEC for the 1991-92 season, making LSU its most common opponent over the span.

• LSU has won three of the last four in the series. The Razorbacks’ lone win being a 90-89 upset of then-No. 17 Tigers in Baton Rouge last year.

Last game: Baton Rouge • Jan. 8, 2020

• In a game that featured 19 lead changes – including eight inside the final five minutes – LSU’s old-fashion 3-point play with eight seconds left proved to be the difference in a 79-77 victory over Arkansas at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center.

• Arkansas ended a 4:12 scoring drought when Jimmy Whitt Jr., hit a jumper in the lane with 38 seconds left to give Arkansas a 74-73 lead. LSU answered with an old-fashion 3-point play by Trendon Watford to go up two, 76-74, with 32 ticks left. Isaiah Joe came right back with an “and-one” of his own for a one-point Razorback lead with 21 seconds remaining.

• Adrio Bailey blocked the first Tigers shot attempt to regain the lead with 12 seconds left. However, the ball went out of bounds and LSU retained possession. LSU then got the ball to Watford, who converted the third old-fashion three-point play in three possessions for a two-point advantage.

• Arkansas’ final shot attempt was blocked to give LSU to win.

• LSU out-rebounded Arkansas 53-24. LSU had 23 offensive rebounds and had 26 second-chance points compared to Arkansas’ three offensive rebounds and zero second-chance points.

• Watford finished with 21 points and eight rebounds to lead the Tigers. Skylar Mays added 19 points while Darius Days had a double-double (16 points and 16 rebounds).

• Arkansas was led by Mason Jones (24 points) and Whitt (22).

Joe impressive since returning6

• Isaiah Joe returned to the Razorback lineup versus Missouri after missing five games due to knee surgery. The Razorbacks were 0-5 with Joe out of the lineup including two overtime losses (vs Auburn and at Missouri) and a loss at the buzzer versus Mississippi State.

• In his three games back is averaging 23.0 ppg || 11-of-28 (39.3%) from 3PT || 22-of-22 from FT || 5 steals || drawn five charges.

Against Missouri: Joe finished with a game-high 21 points in his return (5-of-10 from 3PT) with three rebounds, three assists, one steal and one charge taken.

Against Tennessee: Joe followed that with a 22-point performance in a win over Tennessee. He was 12-of-12 from the free throw line, took two charges and had two steals.

At Georgia: Joe tied for game-high honors with 26 points, making four triples and going 6-of-6 at the free throw line. He added two steals and took a charge. With Arkansas down 15, Joe scored nine points in an 11-4 run to make it an eight-point game at the break.
