LSU hasn't played a basketball game since Nov. 29 and the Tigers finally return to the court on Sunday when they host UNC-Wilmington at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center at 4 p.m.
Between the time LSU defeated UT-Martin and Friday, coach Will Wade gave his team time to rest and study the basic defensive concepts he wants them to learn.
And boy did they study defense. A lot of it.
"I'm tired of practicing," guard Tremont Waters said. "I'm ready to get back on the court and show everybody that we've been being yelled at about defense all week and that we're going to come out and improve.
