#8 LSU 70, #9 Arkansas 54
MVP: Johnny O'Bryant III, LSU, 18 pts 11 reb
LVP: Rickey Scott, Arkansas, 0 pts, 2 ast 2 to
Reaction: The second half of this game resembled the second half of Arkansas season. It was an almost unbearable first half to watch. Neither team looked comfortable running their offense, forcing shot after shot after shot, just begging for the ball to feel some sort guilt for them and finally fall in the hoop. Then Johnny O'Bryant took over, scoring 12 of his 18 in the second half to eliminate Arkansas.
Looking Ahead: Enjoy it while you can Tiger fans. Next up is Kentucky.
#5 Alabama 63, #12 S. Carolina 57
MVP: Trevor Lacey, Alabama, 15 pts 2 reb
LVP: Anthony Gill, S. Carolina, 2 pts
Reaction: Alabama needs some sort of offense. I mean, anything. With the exception of Lacey and frosh Levi Randolph, every major contributor scored below their season average agains a team that's not really known for its defense. My first reaction is to say it was freshman butterflies, yet it was the freshman who had decent games. The leaders are going to need to step up if this team wants to make any serious moves.
Looking ahead: Bama plays Florida tomorrow. The lockdown defense from the Tide is going to keep them in the game but if the upperclassmen don't step up they wont stand a chance.
