LSU men's basketball's regular season finale vs No. 22 Texas A&M is a ittle under 30mins away.

This is the clip of LSU's Vyctorius Miller rolling his left ankle while defending cut.
Doesn't look good. Based on my eye test, I don't think the freshman will play Tuesday vs No. 17 Kentucky

LSU freshman Curtis Givens III was responsible for the final stop.
He did as well as you can defending full court against Oklahoma's Jeremiah Fears without fouling.
Also, nice last rebound by freshman Vyctorius Miller

This stood out on my re-watch of LSU vs Georiga.
Senior Cam Carter flies across the court and an awesome elevator screen frees him up.
Freshman Curtis Givens III passes it way too late and the advantage is gone.
Some visible frustration from coach Matt McMahon and Carter

LSU's defense has been bad the last 2 games.
Possessions like these illustrate how.
1) Cam Carter defends drive well
2) Daimion Collins overhelps and leaps for block
3) Corey Chest (in no man's land) watches ball handler instead of covering the big Collins leaves open

Excited for some Saturday SEC basketball in Oxford, Mississippi.
LSU (11-4, 0-2 SEC) vs. No. 23 Ole Miss (13-2, 2-0).
Huge game for the Tigers.
First priority if they want to pull off an upset is to limit turnovers, especially in the 1st half

LSU basketball's 11 offensive rebounds allowed don't do it justice for how bad it was.
1) Corey Chest can't catch rebound and it goes out of bounds.
