The LSU basketball season has been trending in the wrong direction, but the Tigers are still holding to a small number of votes in the latest Ferris Mowers Men’s Basketball Coaches Poll, powered by USA TODAY Sports.
After dropping four of their last five game splayed, and having a weekend matchup with Florida postponed due to COVID-19 protocols, LSU is near the bottom of the pile of the Others Receiving Votes category in the updated coaches poll this week.
While LSU may be struggling just to gain any recognition from the coaches poll, a number of SEC teams are among the top 25 this week. Missouri moved up seven spots in the poll this week to climb into the top-10. Missouri passed No. 11 Alabama, with the Crimson Tide dropping four spots after dropping a close call against Missouri over the weekend.
