LSU tied a program record with 27 regular season wins and a 12-4 in SEC to receive a double-bye in the SEC Tournament for the fourth year in a row. The Tigers played in the SEC Championship last season and have reached the semifinals in both of the past two years.

When both teams met earlier this season, it was the Tigers who won 80-63 at Gainesville. The winner of this game will progress to the semifinals to play the winner between No. 7 Ole Miss and No. 2 Texas.
