LSU Tigers Take Care of “Big Blue”, 67-58
LSU went into the SEC tournament in Tampa, FL with two straight unimpressive losses. Tiger fans were anxious to see how the Tigers would start the 2nd round game today against the Kentucky Wildcats.
LSU came out on fire jumping to a quick 13-5 lead. UK fought back to within one at 15-14. LSU then paced the Wildcats for the rest of the game. LSU led the rest of the way and took a low scoring 28-23 lead into the locker room at halftime. More after the jump……

The Tigers find themselves at #11 in today’s ESPN/USA Today poll and #12 in the AP poll. See the new polls here.
Some quick poll-analysis: the only teams with higher winning percentages than LSU are UCONN, UNC, Memphis, Pitt, and Oklahoma. The top 10 in both polls are almost identical, however, the 11-20 ranks of both polls involve the same teams, but the order is comparably different. For example, Villanova is #11 in the AP and #16 in the ESPN/USA Today. (more after the jump…)
All that doesn’t really matter, just something I noticed.
