The LSU men’s basketball team can’t worry about what happened on Saturday when they lost to number one ranked Oklahoma, because tonight they take on Auburn at Auburn Arena at six PM. The Tigers are 6-2 in league play, while Auburn is 3-5. LSU is still very much on the bubble to make the NCAA Tournament and need to win games likes tonight.

There’s a good match-up in the Cajundome tonight as ULM squares off with UL Lafayette. The Warhawks have won four in a row, while the Cajuns have won six in a row. A win for ULM and they’ll move into a second place tie with UL Lafayette in the Sun Belt.
