The LSU Tigers men’s basketball team enters week 8 of the season with a 10-2 record.
Despite having only two losses, the Tigers have yet to play a top 25 team. The lack of a ranked win has kept the Tigers out of both the Coaches Poll and the AP Top 25 poll all season.
Last week, LSU took down Arkansas 92-76 on Wednesday. Then on Saturday, the Tigers needed a come from behind win to beat South Carolina 85-80.
Heading into this week, LSU hosts No. 16 Alabama on Tuesday night. On Saturday, the Tigers head to Lexington to face the Kentucky Wildcats in Rupp Arena.

A win on Tuesday would give the Tigers the first ranked win of the season. Even though LSU is still out of the polls, the program has two chances this week to prove that the team is worthy of being ranked.
LSU did receive 14 votes to be ranked this week in the coaches poll. The program now sits behind Oklahoma State, UConn, Saint Louis, USC, Louisville, Duke, Boise State, Drake and Xavier.
Elsewhere in the SEC, the conference has three teams ranked in the Coaches Poll this week.
