Hogs Comeback Attempt Falls Short Against LSU

LSU went into the half with a 50-42 lead over Arkansas. The Hog defense was nonexistent, while the bench scored 12 points in the first half.

Arkansas turned the fire on in the second half, going on an 11-4 run with eight minutes left.

Daniel Gafford forced an overtime period after Mike Anderson drew up a solid play to get possession.

In overtime, the Hogs burned out and couldn’t stop an aggressive LSU offense.

Daniel Gafford finished with a career high 32 points. Mason Jones followed with 22 of his own.

The Hogs only drained 3-16 (18.8%) from three, while LSU hit 10-25 (40.0%).

Arkansas’ next test will be on the road at Tennessee. Tipoff is on Tuesday at 6:00PM on ESPN.
