Coming off a convincing 77-58 road victory against the St. Louis Billikens, the 8-1 Cougars are now tied for first place in the American Athletic Conference with the Wichita State Shockers. The team now shits its focus to Wednesday, when they travel to Baton Rouge to play Louisiana State.
This is the third straight season the two teams will face each other. The Cougars won the 2015 matchup 105-98 in an overtime thriller at Hofheinz Pavilion. But last season they were blown out 84-65 in Baton Rouge. They will certainly have that on their mind coming in to Wednesday’s game looking for their eighth straight win.
