The Tigers (15-8 SU, 8-2 SEC) rolled to an 88-77 win over the Mississippi State Bulldogs (+9.5) at home, getting 31 points off the bench from Antonio Blakeney. Probable No. 1 draft pick Ben Simmons stuffed the stat sheet with 16 points, nine rebounds, seven assists and three steals for the Tigers, who shot 52.5% from the floor. LSU has now won four of their last five to sit atop the SEC.

The Gamecocks (20-3 SU, 7-3 SEC) upset Texas A&M (-9.5) 81-78 on the road, powered by 25 points from Sindarius Thornwell. South Carolina, who had lost at Georgia in their previous game, shot 12-of-21 from beyond the arc. The Gamecocks also forced 17 turnovers out of then-No. 8 Texas A&M.

South Carolina has lost four of the last five meetings between the teams. This is the first and only regular-season meeting between these two during this season.
