What you need to know about LSU

The Tigers ultimately received the gift of a 72-68 win from a begrudging ETSU squad last week. Their forward KJ Williams did his thing and dropped a double-double on 28 points and 12 boards.

It was the sixth straight win for LSU, with all six coming by 10 points or fewer. The Tigers don't blow many teams out as they rely more on their defense, ranking among the top quartile of all teams in defensive rating. Williams, a transfer from Murray State, leads LSU with 19.3 points, 8.3 rebounds, 1.7 steals and 0.9 blocks per game. He's making his case for an All-SEC first-team selection after winning the same honors each of the last three years in the Ohio Valley Conference.

What you need to know about Arkansas

Meanwhile, the UNC-Asheville Bulldogs typically have all the answers at home, but last Wednesday, Arkansas proved too difficult a challenge. The Razorbacks took their game at home with ease, bagging an 85-51 victory over UNC-Asheville. Arkansas got double-digit scores from four players: forward Jalen Graham (16), guard Ricky Council IV (12), guard Anthony Black (10) and guard Joseph Pinion (10).

Arkansas fields the 10th-best defense in the nation in terms of defensive rating. It also ranks 10th in steals per game (10.7), with seven different players averaging at least one per night. Council, who transferred from Wichita State, ranks third in the SEC with 18.3 points and has scored in double-figures in all but one game this year.
