After this game, the Tigers will have just two road games remaining with four home games to be played in the Maravich Center, including three straight starting Wednesday night against Florida. The Tigers will also host No. 1 Tennessee and Texas A&M in this homestand.

Before LSU left for Athens, Coach Will Wade met with the media and here are some of his comments:

Opening statement…
“We are getting ready for Georgia. This is the second time in league play where have played somebody for the second time around. We obviously did a very poor job the first time. After we beat Arkansas at Arkansas, we could not beat them at home. We did not prepare well and we did not play with the edge that we needed to against Arkansas in that second time around. We have to get that corrected as we head to Georgia. A team that we played here at home the first time and now we are headed on the road to play them. We certainly need to learn our lessons from the Arkansas game and be better against (Georgia) on the road. Georgia has shot it well, they have played well, they beat Texas at home and made a bunch of threes. So, we have to do a good job of guarding and giving better resistance because we did not do a good job of that in the second half when we played them the first time.” Read more.
