The LSU Tigers (12-6, 7-4) host the No. 16 Tennessee Volunteers (14-4, 7-4) on Saturday in a critical SEC matchup.

The Tigers and Volunteers are two of three teams tied for second place in the SEC at 7-4, along with Arkansas. A total of five teams have four losses in conference play.

This is a big game for LSU’s NCAA Tournament hopes. After losing four of their previous five games, the Tigers picked up a crucial win over Mississippi State earlier this week.

A win over a ranked Tennessee team would go a long way for LSU after going 0-3 against ranked teams this season.
