LSU Basketball Look to Slay Spartans in Epic Sweet 16 Battle

For the first time since 2006, LSU basketball is in the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament. The Tigers won that game against Texas, and now they look to repeat history.

They take on a talented Michigan State team who will be one of the best they have faced all season.

LSU is a big underdog in this matchup, and that could produce the perfect storm for it to upset the Spartans. The last time the Tigers were on a stage like this were the Kentucky game and the Tennessee game.

Both times LSU defied the odds and upset both squads.
