LSU hopes that this weekend won’t be the last one they spend playing in Alex Box Stadium/Skip Bertman Field. In order to help ensure that, they need to beat SEC West rivals Auburn, who are in a similar situation.
The two squads come into the weekend with near identical records, although the polls and RPI seem to favor the Tigers of the bayou variety rather than those of the plains variety.
It may not feel like it thanks to numerous midweek losses but LSU is very much in form, winning four of the last five weekend series in conference play, the latest being a well play narrow series win against South Carolina following a sweep of Alabama.
