This has been a disappointing season for Alabama basketball – no doubt about it.
The 11th-ranked Kentucky Wildcats will make the trip over to Baton Rouge to take on SEC rival the LSU Tiger.
LSU will be looking for the 4th consecutive 10 win season as they face the Iowa Hawkeyes who had a good year beating the teams they should have beaten, but came up short against the elite teams, you can say.
Not a lot of juice for this traditional season ending game for these programs. The lofty hopes of LSU were dashed many weeks ago even though they are looking very good after beating up Texas A&M last week.
This is a very curious game at this stage of the schedule as Florida State steps out of the ACC for a date with the Idaho Vandals.
The 22nd-ranked LSU Tigers will look to get back above .500 in the SEC and make a positive mark on an otherwise disappointing season on Saturday when they host the 12th-ranked Texas A&M Aggies, who will be looking to make some BCS noise with a win of their own.
The 2013 edition of this matchup isn’t being hyped as “The Game of the Century,” but anytime the LSU Tigers and Alabama Crimson Tide take the field, you know you’re in for a battle.
At first glance, this looks like the typical story of David and Goliath. But look closer.
Coming off a stunning loss, No. 13 LSU has shown the impossible can happen — they can be beat. And a visiting Furman team will look to make their mark with what would be one of the biggest upsets of the 2013 season, when they pay a visit to Tiger Stadium on Saturday night.
The Ole Miss Rebels continue their tour of the SEC’s elite teams, following up games against Alabama and Texas A&M with a game against the No. 6 team in the nation, the LSU Tigers.
The No. 17 ranked Florida Gators will aim to add to their current three-game win streak when they arrive in Baton Rouge to take on the No. 10 ranked LSU Tigers on Saturday in a SEC college football battle.
When LSU beat Marquette it was thought that the SEC might have more depth than expected this year.
College football’s Holy Grail will feature a re-match of the two best teams in the nation; all the BCS whining and quibbling aside, that ought to be the aim of this match-up. Oklahoma State fans and SEC haters might disagree with me, but if you watched Alabama and LSU extensively this season, you know it is the truth.
The Marquette Golden Eagles are still among the unbeatens in college basketball. This marks just the second true road game for them but it should be a little bit easier than when they beat the Badgers up in Madison.
It will be Round 2 between the Alabama Crimson Tide and the LSU Tigers, but this time the two teams will clash on Monday, January 9 at the Superdome in New Orleans to determine this season’s BCS Champion.
If this game doesn’t have the exact same excitement and charged atmosphere that the earlier LSU-Alabama tilt had, it’ll be mighty close. This is an end of season SEC West clash that has oodles of conference title and National Title implications.
In recent seasons, “The Battle of the Tigers” has been a can’t-miss for SEC fans and college football fans alike. Conventional wisdom would say that some of the pinch has been taken out of the match-up with the departure of all-world Auburn QB Cam Newton, but Auburn is notoriously testy in big games.
