The LSU basketball team suffered a minor setback on Tuesday, falling on the road to the No. 10 Texas A&M Aggies after a pair of comeback victories that had thrust the Tigers into second-place in the SEC standings.
LSU (11-7, 4-2) dropped to No. 3 in the conference standings with the loss, once again finding its NCAA Tournament outlook filled with uncertainty. The Tigers have an opportunity to improve their tournament resume on Saturday, as they travel to Tuscaloosa, Ala. for a road showdown with the reeling Alabama Crimson Tide at the Coleman Coliseum.
The Crimson Tide (10-7, 1-4) got off to a promising start during their first season under head coach Avery Johnson, finishing non-conference play with a 9-3 record, but have lost their way as of late.
