BATON ROUGE – The LSU Tigers get the first of what will be two consecutive difficult home tests when the Houston Cougars come to the Maravich Center for an 8 p.m. Wednesday tip.
The Cougars are 8-1 on the season and receiving votes in both the AP and the Coaches poll. The only loss was on a neutral court in the second game of the season to Liberty. Since then, the Cougars have been winning and winning big, including a 91-65 decision versus Arkansas in a game played in the team’s home away from home this season at Texas Southern.
