LSU basketball suffered two losses last week to Alabama and Kentucky.
The Tigers entered last week with a 10-3 record, but are now 10-5 entering Week 10 of the college basketball season.
The 30 point loss to Alabama was disheartening as the Tigers allowed the Crimson Tide to hit 23 three point attempts, which set a program and an SEC record.
Against Kentucky, LSU fell behind early on and never was able to catch the Wildcats. While Kentucky has been a struggling team, the Wildcats have begun to play well in SEC play.
