What to Know

We've got another exciting SEC matchup on schedule as the LSU Tigers and the South Carolina Gamecocks are set to tip at 3:30 p.m. ET on February 17th at Colonial Life Arena. LSU is no doubt hoping to put an end to a five-game streak of away losses.

The loss doesn't tell the whole story though, as several players had good games. One of the most active was Jordan Wright, who scored 16 points along with five rebounds. He didn't help LSU's cause all that much against the Crimson Tide on Saturday but the same can't be said for this match. Another player making a difference was Will Baker, who scored 16 points.

Meanwhile, South Carolina unfortunately witnessed the end of their seven-game winning streak on Wednesday. They were dealt a punishing 101-61 defeat at the hands of the Tigers.
