Here are the facts heading into No. 19 LSU’s Wednesday road game at Texas A&M (8 p.m., ESPN2).
Yes, the Tigers are winners of nine straight, including three road conference games.
Yes, that puts them in elite company, joining just Tennessee, Villanova, and Washington as Power 6 squads yet to lose a conference game.
Yes, the Tigers must play better after winning two of those road games in overtime, including Saturday’s statistically borderline-impossible escape at Missouri.
None of these things are mutually exclusive. LSU has played well, and head coach Will Wade is happy with the start, but they must also play better if they are to remain in that small remaining contingent of unbeatens.
