LSU couldn't protect a 13-point 2nd half lead in Fayetteville, but the Tigers rebounded in overtime to hold off Arkansas 94-88 to improve to 2-0 in the SEC.

 

Freshman Naz Reid led the way as he scored 27 points and was 4-of-4 from 3-point territory. He hit a big 3-pointer to put the Tigers up by four in OT with over three minutes left. 

Reid also played most of the second half with four fouls. Arkansas big man Daniel Gafford took advantage as he scored 32 points and seven rebounds. 

 

Marlon Taylor had a career-night for the Tigers as head 21 points and seven rebounds, a couple of big offensive rebounds as well. 

 

Tremont Waters played well again as he had 17 points and 11 assists. 

 

It's LSU's first road win since beating Arkansas on January 10th last year. 

 

The Tigers will be back on the road again on Tuesday night when they visit Ole Miss. The Rebels are 3-0 in league play after beating 14th ranked Mississippi State 81-77.
