The LSU Tigers return to action on Saturday with a trip to Lexington and Rupp Arena to face the Kentucky Wildcats.

The Tigers are coming off an embarrassing 105-75 loss to Alabama at home. LSU struggled on both ends of the floor in the loss, while the Crimson Tide set an SEC record with 23 3-pointers made.

LSU coach Will Wade spoke with the media this week and spoke of how the Tigers needed to move on from that loss and not let Alabama beat them twice.

This Kentucky team is unlike any recent UK team LSU has faced. The Wildcats enter Saturday’s contest with a 4-9 record, including a 3-3 mark in SEC play.

Kentucky has dominated this series, holding an 83-27 edge over the Tigers. The two teams have split the last two meetings.

LSU’s struggles led to Kentucky listed as a slight favorite, according to BetMGM, The King of Sportsbooks.
