LSU Lady Tigers vs Arkansas Razorbacks Match Preview – Injury Report, Starting Lineup, and Prediction

The Louisiana State University Lady Tigers will lock horns with the Arkansas Razorbacks on Sunday night at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center. While the Lady Tigers will enter the game with a 17-2 tally, the Razorbacks have a 14-5 record.

This match will be interesting since the LSU are ranked at the 10th position in the AP women’s basketball polls and fans would expect them to notch up another win.

Players to Watch

For the LSU Lady Tigers, the main player to watch will be their star, Angel Reese. Reese is dominating the LSU tally in points and rebounds average with 20.1 points per game and 11.9 rebounds per match.

Notably, in her last game, she basketed a match-winning 20 points. Reese will be keen to follow that up with another noteworthy performance and guide her team to victory.

Apart from Reese, no one can ignore the on-court brilliance of their guard Aneesah Morrow. Surprisingly, she has amped up her game and been the other leading lady apart from Reese.

Morrow has throttled 18.4 points per game along with 9.7 rebounds per match. Apart from that Morrow leads the tally in steals average and blocks average. Morrow too had potted 20 points in the last game and it will be a delight to watch her match Reese with her skills.

For the Arkansas Razorbacks, their guard Taliah Scott has been the alpha for her team. She has basketed an average of 22.3 points per game which is decently higher than Reese’s and Morrow’s performance. It will be interesting to see if Scott will play this game considering she hasn’t played the previous games due to a back injury.

Head to Head

During the LSU Lady Tigers game with the Arkansas Razorbacks in 2023 January, the Lady Tigers had a scare but ultimately won the game by a 79-76 margin. The Arkansas thus have the potential to give the LSU a check, and if this happens again in the game then the LSU will be in trouble this Sunday. Overall, as per Whole Hog Sports, LSU leads the series with a 35-19 tally

Prediction

The Arkansas will be looking to repeat their game from last year except for the losing part. They can be tough competitors and have a neck-to-neck competition with the LSU Lady Tigers.

The Lady Tigers will try to dominate from the start of the game and also make sure that the Razorbacks do not get many chances, lest they capitalize. Since it is a home game for the LSU, the Lady Tigers might just edge past the Razorbacks.

Injury Report

For the LSU there have been no injuries. But the much-acclaimed freshman from the Razorbacks Taliah Scott has missed the last three games with a back injury as per Whole Hog Sports. It needs to be seen if she will participate in this contest.
