Coming off a near improbable comeback victory over Auburn on Saturday, Ole Miss gets a Valentine’s date at the Pavilion with an LSU team that’s lost ten games in a row. While the Rebels’ tournament hopes are essentially out of reach, Andy Kennedy’s squad has shown real improvement, having won three of their last four games and moving up to 68th in the KenPom ratings.
The Tigers’ lone conference win came against Missouri, the only team in the SEC with fewer total wins. Their conference-worst adjusted defensive rating should provide some relief for the Rebels, who have experienced some severe scoring droughts against even just average defenses.
