Scouting Report: Arkansas at LSU

Arkansas (11-10, 2-6 SEC) picked up its first true road win of the season against Missouri earlier this week, but must stay focused with a matchup against the LSU Tigers (11-9, 3-4 SEC) looming Saturday.

The Razorbacks currently own a 42-35 all-time record advantage against the Tigers, which also includes a 6-4 mark in the two programs' last 10 matchups.

Led by second-year head coach Matt McMahon, the Tigers have lost three straight conference games. Their last victory was on Jan. 17, when LSU defeated Ole Miss 89-80 at home.

Prior to tip off against the Kentucky Wildcats last Saturday, Arkansas released a statement announcing that senior guard Davonte Davis had stepped away from the men's basketball program. Davis has yet to see the court for the Hogs since then and his status is unknown.

Redshirt sophomore forward Trevon Brazile is still dealing with lingering knee soreness and did not play in the victory over Missouri on Wednesday. His status is also unclear at this time.

Leading the Tigers is senior guard Jordan Wright. The 6-foot-6, 230-pound Louisiana native is averaging 15.7 points, 5.2 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game while shooting 40.6% from the field and 36.3% from three.

KenPom ranks LSU 85th overall nationally and the Tigers are also 60th in defensive efficiency (100.0).

Here's a closer comparison of Arkansas' and LSU's stats, efficiency ratings, projected lineup for the Tigers and more ahead of Saturday's game, which is set to tipoff at 11 a.m. CT on the ESPN2:
