The LSU basketball team hosts the Alabama Crimson Tide at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center on Wednesday night, in a game that carries major NCAA Tournament implications.
The Tigers are looking to further themselves from the tournament bubble with another impressive conference win, while Alabama is hoping to land an invitation to the Big Dance with a strong finish to the regular season.
The Crimson Tide are thriving in their first year under head coach Avery Johnson, bouncing back from an 11-9 start with four consecutive victories. Of these four wins, the past two have come against teams currently projected to make the NCAA Tournament in Florida and Texas A&M.
