The LSU basketball team moved on Thursday night, beating Arkansas for its sixth straight SEC win. The Tigers are 20-2 on the year and 6-2 in conference play.
LSU’s resume is good enough to contend for a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament down the stretch, but the schedule doesn’t get much easier with games against South Carolina and Texas still on the way.

Elsewhere in the SEC, Mississippi State pulled off one of the most shocking SEC results we’ve seen this year, beating No. 15 Tennessee by 15 points to hand the Vols their first conference loss of the season. Michigan State’s Karissa Robinson scored 21 points and grabbed 4 rebounds. It was a tough loss for a Tennessee team hoping to stay atop the SEC.
Alabama beat Georgia in a ranked battle. After the first quarter, the Tide trailed by 8 points, but ultimately won 68-53.
Oklahoma State, Texas and South Carolina all made trades against unranked opponents. Here are the latest standings following Thursday’s game.
