This week’s AP Top 25 was released on Monday and both the men and women’s basketball teams jumped up a few spots.
The men’s team (9-0) really shot up the rankings this week, moving from No. 25 to No. 19. LSU was finally able to play in front of a national audience Saturday night in Atlanta and beat Georgia Tech 69-53.
The women’s team (7-1) didn’t make quite as big a leap, but moved from No. 24 to No. 22. There won’t be an opportunity for Kim Mulkey’s team to make a statement this week as the Tigers will have played three teams (Texas Southern, Alcorn State, and New Orleans) with a combined one win.
