What you need to know about LSU

The Mississippi State Bulldogs typically have all the answers at home, but this past Saturday the Tigers proved too difficult a challenge. LSU had just enough and edged out MSU 69-65. It was another big night for LSU's forward Tari Eason, who had 23 points along with six boards.

Eason is arguably the best Sixth Man in the country as he ranks in the top 10 in the SEC in points (16.6), rebounds (6.9), steals (1.9) and blocks (1.1) despite only starting four games. He powers the nation's No. 2 defense in terms of defensive efficiency and the Tigers rank 12th in points allowed. LSU is a perfect 14-0 when holding an opponent under 64 points but is just 4-7 when an opponent scores at least 64.

What you need to know about Georgia

Meanwhile, UGA lost to the South Carolina Gamecocks at home by a decisive 80-68 margin. UGA got double-digit scores from four players: guard Kario Oquendo (18), forward Braelen Bridges (16), forward Jabri Abdur-Rahim (12), and guard Aaron Cook (11).

UGA is stumbling into the contest with the 10th most points allowed per game in college basketball, having given up 77.1 on average. In SEC play, Georgia is allowing 82.2 PPG which ranks last in the conference. The Bulldogs simply lack the activity on the defensive end to be successful as they rank last in the SEC in both steals per game (5.3) and blocks per game (1.9).
