LSU buries Arkansas behind season high 15 three's
BATON ROUGE - LSU (13-9, 4-6 conf.) finally got some consistency from their guards, knocking down a season high 15 three's, en-route to a 94-86 win over Arkansas on Saturday.

Freshman Tremont Waters, who has struggled as of late shooting, showed out against the Hogs defense. Waters carried LSU's offense with 27 points including a career-high 11 assist.
Daryl Edwards and Brandon Sampson both provided a huge spark for LSU off the bench. Edwards finished the day with 14 points on 3-of-6 shooting from beyond the arc, while Sampson added 13 points on 2-of-4 shooting from three range.
LSU snaps Arkansas' 30-game win streak when scoring at least 80 points.
