Arkansas takes care of business in LSU rematch

Arkansas had motivation going into this game after losing to LSU earlier in the season. They made it a point to be aggressive and attack the paint early and often. They got their revenge by beating LSU 70-58 at home. This marks their fourth win in six games.

As the season progresses, you can see the development of the players and how confident they have become within Coach Calipari's system. Rookies Karter Knox and Billy Richmond are making more of an impact, and the veteran players are stepping up and leading this team to success. One of the biggest reasons for Arkansas' recent success is the rise of Zvonimir Ivisic, who has been a monster on both sides of the ball over the past few games.
