LSU women's basketball score vs. Arkansas: Live updates

How much can be derived from the first time you play a conference opponent for the second meeting?

To Kim Mulkey, it's all about the improvements teams have made in what they already lean in on.

No. 3 LSU (18-0, 6-0) hosts Arkansas (14-3, 4-1) inside Pete Maravich Assembly Center Thursday night (8 p.m., SEC Network). It's been just three weeks since the Tigers opened up SEC play in Fayetteville and left with a 24-point win over the homestanding Razorbacks.

Mike Neighbors' group has rediscovered their outside shot with Makayla Daniels, Samara Spencer and Chrissy Carr helping lead the squad to a four-game win streak since the loss to LSU. The Tigers, led by senior guard Alexis Morris, Jasmine Carson and freshman Flau'jae Johnson, will need to defend the 3-point line as well as they've been guarding it of late.
