LSU's Mickey, Martin and O'Bryant scored 60 of the Tigers 88 points to help push the Tigers to 5-3 in the SEC after their victory over Arkansas. Andre Stringer scored 10 points off the bench for the Tigers and Anthony Hickey led the team with 6 assists. LSU was also able to hold Arkansas to 74 points, 8 points less than their season average using a very active 2-3 zone.

The Tigers really won in every category. The Tigers shot 44% from three point land to Arkansas' 27%. LSU shot 58% from inside the arc while holding Arkansas to 37% from inside the arc. LSU outrebounded the Hogs by 12 and had a 22:14 AST:TO ratio to the Arkansas' 7:10 ratio. The one bright spot for the Razorbacks was their free throw shooting there the Hogs shot 25/27 for 93%.

Jordan Mickey had one of the most dominant performances of the season for the Tigers. He scored 22 points, 11 rebounds, and 6 blocks. Johnny O'Bryant had another great game as well getting 23 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists. O'Bryant and Mickey showed some great chemistry passing to each other really causing the Razorbacks problems.

LSU has played 5 straight impressive halves of basketball, especially on offense. After scoring 57 points in the second half at Alabama, LSU scored 87 against Kentucky and 88 against Arkansas. LSU will need to continue their hot ways against UGA on Thursday in Athens.

O'Bryant looks like a monster. Man I hope Martin and Hickey stay next year.

Awesome game, total domination. Our starting lineup of Anthony Hickey and four VERY athletic forwards is a serious force to be reckoned with in the SEC. And good lord Mickey pities the fool who dares try to dunk on him.

ETA: let's pretend that didn't happen

It's good to see consistency as of late. With upcoming games against @Georgia, Auburn, @A&M, @Ark, and Miss St...the Tigers have a chance to put together a nice run with these very winnable games.

Been doing some research and some crazy stuff going on.

Mickey is 3rd in NCAA in blocks at 3.8/gm

Hickey's Ast/TO is up to 3.45. Noone in SEC has had over 3.22 in last 12 years.

If Anthony Hickey hits that open jumper at end of Ole Miss game, LSU would currently be in 2nd place in SEC.

Also noticed that St. Joseph's win is starting to look pretty good. They are currently in 4th in A10 and most recently I saw them at 52 RPI.
