BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Angel Reese had 30 points and 19 rebounds to tie a LSU record with 19 straight double-doubles and the third-ranked and unbeaten Tigers pushed their program-record winning streak to 19 games with a 79-76 victory over Arkansas on Thursday night. Arkansas was in position to take the lead from LSU (19-0, 7-0 SEC) in the final minute, but Erin Barnum’s 3-point attempt with 24 seconds to go rimmed out and Reese snagged the crucial rebound. LSU freshman guard Flau’jae Johnson, whom Arkansas fouled moments later, hit two free throws to make it 77-74 with 16 seconds left. She added two more with four seconds left to finish with 19 points.
