00:00 Eric Moselman's been waiting a while for a game like this. The last SEC, the last regular season
00:07 game at Budwalter Arena tonight just wrapped up. 94 to 83 Arkansas wins it over LSU. And this is
00:15 probably the type game Eric Moselman's been looking for all year. He finally gets it here at
00:21 the end for the home crowd and there wasn't a lot of people turned out. The announced attendance
00:26 that they put on the official score sheet, not counted yet. Okay. They'll probably announce it,
00:37 it was not half full of the 20,000 capacity. It wasn't half full tonight. It was a 6 p.m. game
00:45 and people getting off work, whatever. It's kind of hard for a lot of people like it.
00:52 Arkansas wins it 94 to 83 over LSU. Califf battled 29 points. This is the most points,
01:00 most points scored in the SEC over a four game stretch in the last 20 years. Jody Mates in
01:10 Kentucky in 2009 is next on the list. Then Dalton connected Tennessee this year. Obviously you've
01:18 heard about him having big games. Tennessee, by the way, clinched the SEC regular season title
01:25 tonight and they'll just play a meaningless game Saturday for getting ready for the conference
01:33 tournament. And the third guy behind Meeks and Connect is Mason Jones. That special season he
01:39 had in 2020 for the Razorbacks. Battled 29 leads the team. He was 7 to 14 from the field. Right
01:47 behind him though, Mekhi Mitchell comes off the bench to score 19 points in his last home
01:53 appearance for the Razorback crowd. And Chandler Lawson, excuse me, L. Ellis, I'm on the wrong stat
02:01 line. L. Ellis had 16 points in a big game and his last appearance too. Eight guys going to be
02:10 gone off this team. Eric Mossman got a lot of rebuilding to do and he's been looking for an
02:15 outing like this and he finally gets it at Bud Walton. We'll have complete postgame coverage.
02:21 The postgame press conference is on our YouTube page. And Daniel Shee was at the game and you
02:27 can read his thrilling coverage of how this one played out on All Hogs later.
