All SEC teams are about to be out of the starting gate in conference play. The Western Division has three key head to head match-ups that will begin to separate the contenders from the pretenders.
The LSU Tigers are the next team rising on State’s radar. It is a safe bet that the game will be a war in the trenches which State must win and do have the beef to do just that. A.J. Jefferson, Jeffrey Simmons, Nick James, Nelson Adams, Braxton Hoyett and company will try to harass the backfield of LSU all night while minimizing running lanes.
