Arkansas vs LSU Prediction 2/12/25 College Basketball Picks Today

In this article, we will formulate an Arkansas vs LSU Prediction for this college basketball game on Wednesday, February 12th, at the Bud Walton Arena. Let’s take a look at the Arkansas Razorbacks vs LSU Tigers Pick. 

LSU Fell Just Short

LSU has lost six games in a row, but in the last game, they were at least competitive. LSU faced off against Ole Miss and they ended up losing 72-70. At halftime, they were up by six points, but in the second half, they scored only 31 points and ended up falling short. LSU shot 44.6 percent from the field and 33.3 percent from behind the three-point line. Guard Cam Carter put up 16 points, four rebounds, and four assists. Two games ago against Georgia, LSU scored 62 points and they lost by 19 points. 

This has been a disappointing season, and they currently have a 12-11 record overall. They have gone 11-12 against the spread. Overall, LSU is averaging 77 points, while their defense is giving up 72.6 points per game. The offense is ranked 104th in the league, while the defense is ranked 206th. Guard Cam Carter has been the top player, averaging 17 points while shooting 44.1 percent from the field and 40.4 percent from behind the three-point line. LSU needs to figure out a way to start playing defense if they want to finish this season strong. 

Why LSU Will Beat Arkansas

• LSU has won eight of its last 10 night games against non-AP-ranked opponents.
• Arkansas has lost four of its last five games at Bud Walton Arena.
• Arkansas has lost the first half in each of its last four home games against the Southeastern Conference.

Is Arkansas Figuring It Out?

Arkansas appears to be figuring it out, and even though they lost the last game, they should still have confidence. Three games ago against Kentucky, they won 89-79 and that gave them a ton of confidence. Two games ago, against the Texas Longhorns, they went on the road and picked up a 78-70 victory. In the last game against Alabama, Arkansas scored 81 points, but the defense just couldn’t make enough stops late, and they ended up losing by four points. Arkansas shot 43.1 percent from the floor while they allowed Alabama to shoot 54.998 percent from the field. It’s actually impressive they kept it that close. 

Arkansas sits with a 14-9 record overall and they have gone 8-14-1 against the spread. At home, straight up, they have gone 9-4. Arkansas is averaging 77 points, while their defense is giving up 69.4 points per game. The offense is ranked 104th in the league while the defense is ranked 106th. In this game, if Arkansas wants to find success, they are going to need to take advantage of a team that doesn’t have confidence and get out of a fast start. 

Why Arkansas Will Beat LSU

• LSU has lost each of its last nine road night games against the Southeastern Conference.
• Arkansas has won 28 of its last 31 night games at Bud Walton Arena against non-AP-ranked opponents.
• Arkansas has won the first half in three of its last four games against LSU.

Arkansas vs LSU Prediction

Arkansas and LSU are going to be involved in a shootout here. These are both teams that have found success this season with their offense. Arkansas is averaging 77 points, and they are going to put on a show here. LSU also averages 77 points, and they are going to run up in the score. There will be zero defense played here by either team, and this game is going to feature a ton of made shots. There are two many scorers in Arkansas especially.  Both teams are going over 80 points. This is one of my favorite plays on the board.
