LSU to face Hogs on road tonight

The LSU Men's team (21-4, 9-1) returns to action tonight to face Arkansas in Fayetteville. Tip-off in Bud Walton Arena is at 7pm CT. The game will not be televised.

This will be LSU's first game as a ranked team. The Tigers are ranked No. 23 in the latest AP poll. Bo Spencer will not play against the Hogs. Spencer, who sprained his ankle in LSU's double-overtime win at Mississippi State, will miss his second straight game.

TD.com hoops expert "Stromile Swift" previews the game here while computer polls guru "lsumatt" made a nice post yesterday on the Tiger Rant about LSU's RPI rankings, and the prospects of it improving over the next few weeks.
