The LSU men’s basketball team dropped to No. 20 in the AP Top 25 on Monday, just hours after falling to No. 16 in the USA Today Top 25.LSU’s back-to-back losses against Vanderbilt and Auburn last week mark the Tigers’ first consecutive losses since losing to Utah and Alabama on Jan. 7 and Jan. 11, respectively. The Tigers’ ranking may have dropped, but they have secured the SEC West’s  No. 1 seed in this weekend’s SEC tournament. LSU will face either Kentucky or Ole Miss in the tournament’s second round on Friday.——Contact David Helman at [email protected]
