Arkansas cruised to a 91-62 victory over LSU in SEC play, led by standout performances from Trevon Brazile and Darius Acuff Jr. Brazile dominated the paint with 14 points, 12 rebounds and 5 blocks, while Acuff scored 28 points efficiently. The win keeps Arkansas within a half-game of first-place Florida in the SEC standings.

Why it matters

This decisive road victory over a conference rival demonstrates Arkansas' ability to win convincingly away from home, a key factor in the SEC title race. Brazile's interior dominance and Acuff's continued scoring surge suggest the Razorbacks have the pieces to make a deep postseason run.

The details

Arkansas controlled the game from start to finish, building a 42-27 halftime lead and never letting LSU get back into it. The Razorbacks outscored the Tigers 64-34 in the paint and held LSU to just 31% shooting from the field. Brazile's rim protection was a major factor, as the Tigers struggled to finish around the basket.

  • The win marked the first time Arkansas has won inside the Pete Maravich Assembly Center since January 15, 2022.
  • The game was played on February 11, 2026.

What they’re saying

“We played really good today. We've had other games where we've really played bad. It just wasn't this game. So, this is more about us than it was about LSU.”

— John Calipari, Head Coach (si.com)

“It makes us different. And for him, it's a mindset. You walk into the game knowing how you're going to play. It doesn't mean you make every shot, but I'm going to play so hard, and I'm going to play rough and I'm going to go get rebounds.”

— John Calipari, Head Coach (si.com)

“We had some opportunities around the rim, but their rim protection — led by Brazile — we just could not finish around the basket. And on a night where you're really struggling from behind the 3-point line, it's difficult to keep up with their their offensive firepower there.”

— Matt McMahon, Head Coach (si.com)

What’s next

The Razorbacks now turn toward a matchup with Auburn, looking to avenge a 95-73 loss from January.

The takeaway

Arkansas' dominant interior presence, led by Trevon Brazile, and the continued scoring consistency of Darius Acuff Jr. suggest the Razorbacks have the makings of a team that can make a deep postseason run, especially if they can continue to win convincingly on the road in the SEC.
