Arkansas State Tops Louisiana 79-62 on Jackson’s 31, Rebounding Edge

Relentless rebounding paired with Chandler Jackson’s efficient 31 points powered Arkansas State’s second-half pullaway.

Louisiana shot 28.9% after the break and, after tying the game at 44, missed 10 of its next 13 attempts as the visitors stretched the lead.
