Unblemished yet staunchly tested.
That’s a good way to describe LSU women’s basketball’s path through its 15-game nonconference slate. So far, there’s been thrilling comeback victories, run away wins and a host of reoccurring issues that have Tigers coach Kim Mulkey and her staff concerned as the team tips off Southeastern Conference on Thursday night.
No. 3 LSU (15-0) opens up SEC play on the road at Arkansas (7-8) at Bud Walton Arena.
Mulkey hasn’t lost to Arkansas since her first season in Baton Rouge, with LSU winning the past three meetings.
Arkansas had a topsy-turvy start to the 2024-25 season, entering league play with a losing record. Overall, the Razorbacks struggle to score the ball, ranking 14th in the SEC at 73 points per game, but they boast the conference’s top scorer in guard Izzy Higginbottom.

Higginbottom, a transfer from Arkansas State, averages 23.6 points per game. LSU has had some struggles guarding offensive minded guards, so Higginbottom will pose the toughest test to date for the Tigers.
