The LSU Tigers Must Beat The Vanderbilt Commodores if They Have a Post Season Shot
The LSU Tigers Must Beat The Vanderbilt Commodores if They Have a Post Season ShotThe LSU Tigers are having a very bad year in college basketball, but the great thing about March Madness is that every team has a realistic shot of winning a tournament and getting an automatic invite to the Big Dance.


BetPhoenix is the best online sportsbook to wager on the College Basketball and they have the latest odds on this and all other games on the schedule.

What has been a tough season for LSU bottomed out in a loss to Auburn, leaving the Tigers at the bottom of the SEC standings for the second year in a row.

The Tigers led Auburn by 15 points at home with 14:24 to play, but the latest in a season full of long scoring draughts spelled doom. Auburn came back to snag a 60-51 victory, escaping the cellar of the SEC West for the first time since its 0-6 start in league action.

Most disappointing is that LSU has lacked improvement. The Tigers started 2-0 in the SEC before losing 12 of their final 13 games, and the fast start included a 62-55 win at Auburn in the conference opener.

Now it’s off to Atlanta for the SEC tournament. The loss to Auburn left LSU as the No. 6 seed from the West to set a matchup with Vanderbilt—the No. 3 seed from the East—at 10 p.m. EST March 10 in the Georgia Dome. Vanderbilt earned the No. 3 spot after Kentucky beat Tennessee on March 6.

When the teams met Feb. 26 at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center, the Commodores overcame LSU’s two-point lead at the half in racing to a 90-69 win. It was the fourth of five losses by the Tigers of 20-plus points in SEC play, and it began their three-game skid to end the regular season.

LSU will play their hearts out with hopes of making some noise and having a shot to extend their season. They may not pull off the upset, but they will keep it close.
