Having made quick work of their previous two opponents, the LSU Tigers (7-2) will take a trip down I-10 to take on the #24 Houston Cougars (8-0). The two teams met at the same time last year in the PMAC, a thrilling 80-77 victory for LSU. This game will be played in the newly christened Fertitta Center, which opened Houston’s home season only eleven days ago in a win over Oregon.
This game marks the beginning of the “real” season for LSU, with two ranked teams and a strong Saint Mary’s making up the next three contests.
