The Arkansas Basketball team secured their first win over a ranked opponent this season when the defeated LSU 65-58.

It was ugly at times, but the Razorbacks found a way to push through and secure a victory. As you can imagine, the events in the immediate aftermath of the win were euphoric.

Led by interim head coach Keith Smart, the team went into Baton Rouge and got their second consecutive SEC win in spectacular fashion.

When Coach Smart entered the locker room, he was met with a showering of water bottles from players and staff to celebrate.
