ANALYSIS: What an improbable victory for LSU

LSU’s task against Southeastern Conference-leading Tennessee became quite apparent to the fans filing into the PMAC on Saturday morning.

Tigers point guard Tremont Waters was not at the arena. Before tipoff, LSU officials announced that Waters was sick. It would be later learned that Waters received an IV on Friday. Doctors felt that it was better for Waters to sit out the game against the Volunteers.
