LSU Tigers
After losing Ben Simmons to the NBA Draft the LSU Tigers are in rebuild mode, and it has shown with the results that have taken place on the court.
They come into this game with a 10-20 record and finished in 13th place in the final regular season SEC standings. Since conference play started the Tigers have only won two games. One of those wins was two games ago against Tennessee, which should give them some confidence going into this game.
