The LSU men’s basketball team (11-4, 6-3) will press pause on its conference schedule Saturday afternoon and welcome the No. 10 Texas Tech Red Raiders as part of the annual Big 12/SEC Challenge.
When we last saw LSU, the Tigers coughed up a 17-point first half lead to Texas A&M, but rallied back and held the Aggies to zero points over the game’s final 8:50. The Red Raiders (11-5, 4-4), on the other hand, came up just short Monday in Morgantown losing to the Mountaineers 88-87.
It’s a testament to how strong the Big 12 is that a four-loss team like Tech can still be ranked inside the Top 10.
