Alabama v. LSU 8p.m. ESPN

Versus

Alabama can wrap up the SEC Western Division title with a win at the Maravich Assembly Center in Baton Rouge tonight. The game will be televised Nationally on ESPN, and will feature two of the SEC's hottest players in Kennedy Winston, and Brandon Bass.

Bass, the 6-8 Sophomore forward has been on a tear lately, averaging 24 points and 11 rebounds last week in wins versus Miss St. and Florida. The Tigers are also on a surge with the emergence of Freshman C/F Glen Davis, who has posted 3 double-doubles in the last 6 games, and has really helped LSU put together some defensive toughness.

The Tide is coming of a great week, with wins over South Carolina and Ole Miss, but must be careful not to look ahead to Saturdays matchup with Kentucky, as a loss tonight would put LSU 1-game back of the Tide for first place, and the schedules favor LSU for the last two weeks. The Tide has games with LSU, Kentucky, Auburn, and then @ Mississippi State, while LSU gets Alabama tonight, then Ole Miss, Vandy, and Auburn.

Steele had a great game last time the Tigers met the Tide in January, a 73-58 win in Tuscaloosa. He will have to interrupt the flow of the LSU offense again tonight, if the Tide is going to neutralize the Tigers home floor.

ROLL TIDE!!
