BOX SCORE
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) -- Ronald Dupree's back-door slam touched off a 10-0 run that helped LSU (No. 23 ESPN/USA Today, No. 16 AP) win at Arkansas for the first time, 78-67 Saturday.
|  | | LSU's Torris Bright, racing ahead of Arkansas' Teddy Gipson on the break, dishes off. |
Dupree finished the play with a free throw and 6-foot-11 Jabari
Smith scored four points during the spurt, including a basket over
6-4 Teddy Gipson, as the Tigers (21-4, 8-4 Southeastern Conference)
opened a 62-51 lead with 6:22 to play. Jermaine Williams' 3 made it
69-55 less than three minutes later.
Arkansas (13-12, 5-7) never led and was tied with the Tigers
only once, at 35 in the opening minutes of the second half. Brian
Beshera then scored from 12 feet, putting the Tigers back on top.
Carl Baker missed a chance to give the Razorbacks the lead when
he was called for walking on a fast break. The next time Arkansas
was within one, Alonzo Lane missed badly from in close.
Lamont Roland sliced through Arkansas' defense for eight
in-close field goals and a game-high 23 points, and his ability to
penetrate and pass led to several easy baskets by his teammates.
Breaking down the lane, Roland took a pass, then whipped a pass
behind his back to Dupree, whose field goal and foul shot made it
46-41.
Bright's 3 made the lead seven, but Blake Eddins made a 3 and
Joe Johnson's steal led to a Brandon Dean layup. Lane's two free
throws cut it to 52-51 before the Tigers' run.
Johnson led Arkansas with 18.
