A SEC showdown is set for Saturday afternoon when the LSU Tigers (12-4, 1-3 in SEC) visit the #4 Alabama Clemson Tide (14-2, 4-0). LSU had a strong non-conference portion but have struggled since getting into conference play. Alabama looks like a true national title contender.

LSU Tigers
Last time out, LSU hosted the Florida Gators and suffered a poor 67-56 defeat. The Tigers were the better team in the first half, leading by three at the half, but it was all Gators after that.

LSU led by as many as eight points, trailed by as much 11, and could not cover the +2.5-point spread.
KJ Williams had 23 points and seven rebounds in the loss. Trae Hannibal added four points, 12 rebounds, three assists, and two steals on the night.
