What to Know
LSU and the Bulldogs are an even 5-5 against one another since January of 2017, but not for long. Both teams will face off in an SEC battle at 8:30 p.m. ET on Saturday at Pete Maravich Assembly Center. LSU has insisted on making their lastthree contests complete nail-biters, turning in a record of 2-1 during that stretch of close contests.
We saw a pretty high 163.5-over/under line set for LSU’s previous matchup, but the actual score was more down to earth. They skirted by the Wildcats 75-74 on Wednesday thanks to a clutch jump shot from Tyrell Ward with but a second left in the second quarter. That’s two games straight that LSU has won by exactly one point.
LSU’s victory was a true team effort, with many players turning in solid performances. Perhaps the best among them was Ward, who scored 17 points. Another player making a difference was Trae Hannibal, who scored seven points along with eight rebounds and seven assists.
Meanwhile, Miss. State entered their tilt with the Rebels with three consecutive wins but they’ll enter their next game with four. The Bulldogs walked away with an 83-71 victory over the Rebels on Wednesday.
Miss. State got their win on the backs of several key players, but it was Tolu Smith out in front who scored 24 points along with six rebounds. Smith didn’t help Miss. State’s cause all that much against the Razorbacks on Saturday but the same can’t be said for this matchup. The team also got some help courtesy of Cameron Matthews, who scored 11 points along with five rebounds and three steals.
The Tigers’ victory bumped their record up to 14-12. As for the Bulldogs, their victory was their fifth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 18-8.
LSU came up short against the Bulldogs in their previous meeting back in February of 2023, falling 64-53. Will LSU have more luck at home instead of on the road?
