BATON ROUGE – The LSU men’s basketball team wants to get back on the floor of the Pete Maravich Assembly Center and wipe away the taste of Saturday’s 83-82 loss to Stephen F. Austin and the chance comes on Tuesday night when they host another Southland Conference team in Sam Houston State.
SHS comes in with a 6-5 record after downing Little Rock, 57-55, on Dec. 15 in Huntsville, Texas, rallying from a four-point halftime deficit. Leading the way for the Bearkats is Chris Galbreath, Jr., who in 11 games is averaging 16.1 points and 8.2 rebounds. He will be the focus for the Tigers defensively, while also not letting his teammates have big games around him.
