After a disappointing finish in the Cayman Islands Classic — where LSU beat Illinois State and Akron but fell in the championship matchup against Kansas State after a controversial play at the end, which saw the potential game-tying basket taken off the board — the Tigers return home to host the Wofford Terriers on Sunday afternoon.
The Terriers enter this one at 2-2 but are a respectable mid-major team, ranking No. 157 in KenPom. They’re led by fourth-year coach Jay McAuley, who has a winning record in each of his first three seasons in Spartanburg, South Carolina, but is yet to make the NCAA Tournament.
The 5-1 Tigers will hope to bounce back in this one and are given a 92.2% chance to win, per ESPN’s Basketball Power Index. Here’s what you need to know to follow this one, which tips off at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center at 2 p.m. CT on Sunday afternoon.
