After LSU’s 81-55 rout of Ole Miss on Jan. 7 in the PMAC, the Tigers lost five of their next six games.
As the two teams prepare for Saturday’s rematch, LSU (17-10, 7-6 Southeastern Conference) has now won five of its last six games, sits in fourth place in the SEC and holds serious NCAA Tournament aspirations.
“It’s just a matter of what we do between now and the end of the season to get where we want to be,” said LSU junior center Justin Hamilton. “That starts with going to Ole Miss and getting a good road toughness.”
Terrance Henry, a 6-foot-9 senior forward, adds 11.9 points and six rebounds per game, giving Ole Miss one of the league’s more formidable frontlines.
