It’s February 1. Selection Sunday is a little less than seven weeks away and LSU (16-5, 4-4) needs to start stringing together wins to keep pace in the SEC race and bolster its resumé for the selection committee.
In steps Ole Miss (11-10, 2-6). The Rebels, like LSU, have hit a rough patch dropping five of its last six SEC games but Ole Miss does come into Tuesday’s game with some positive momentum as they beat Kansas State on Saturday as part of the Big 12/SEC Challenge.
LSU beat Ole Miss twice last season, once in Oxford and then again in the SEC Tournament’s quarterfinal round 76-63.
