After having its eight-game-winning streak snapped on Thursday, LSU looks to get back on track when it hosts Georgia in an SEC contest on Saturday night.
The Tigers managed only two points in overtime while dropping their conference opener against Missouri 74-67. LSU continues to battle sloppy play as it ranks last in the SEC in turnovers, averaging more than 15 per game, and had 19 more miscues on Thursday.
The Bulldogs also lost their conference opener, blowing a 13-point first-half lead before dropping a 79-75 decision at home to Arkansas. Nemanja Djurisic led Georgia with 16 points but the loss ended the Bulldogs' six-game winning streak -- their longest in four years.
Georgia wrapped up a promising non-conference campaign with a 9-3 mark, its best since 2010-2011 when the Bulldogs went 11-2 en route to gaining their last NCAA tournament berth.
TV: 9 p.m. ET, ESPNU
ABOUT GEORGIA (9-4, 0-1 SEC): Georgia swept the season series last season including a 69-61 victory in the regular-season finale which ended LSU's seven-game winning streak at home. Battling a nagging shoulder injury, Kenny Gaines, who led the Bulldogs in scoring in SEC action last season, is fourth on the team in scoring at 11.2 points with 18 makes from 3-point range. Reserve forward Kenny Paul Geno (1.9 points, 1.2 rebounds) is out with a broken left wrist.
ABOUT LSU (11-3, 0-1): LSU outrebounded Missouri 50-39 but shot just 36.4 percent from the field and blew an eight-point lead late in the second half in its conference-opening loss. Tim Quarterman had 19 points and Jordan Mickey grabbed 17 rebounds in the contest, although the bigger front line of Mickey and Jarell Martin hit just 7-of-23 shots against their undersized opponents. LSU owns an impressive win over then-17th ranked West Virginia but the Tigers aren't deep with five players averaging 30 minutes a game.
TIP-INS
Two of Georgia's four losses have come to ranked teams (Gonzaga, Arkansas).
Both teams received votes in last week's USA Today Coaches poll.
LSU has won five of the last six home games against Georgia.
PREDICTION: LSU 74, Georgia 71

This isn't an easy turnaround for us. But it's time to get that opening W in conference play

Hopefully we take care of the basketball, way less than 19 turnovers tonight.
It's time to ball.

I've got word Shaq is in the building tonight.

Time for a SEC streak!
BTW. I have been watching Simmons and Blakeney highlights this afternoon. Wow! LSU is in great hands. Thrown in Victor and hopefully Lyle, we have good times ahead.

I heard someone say they thought they saw John Brady there.

Any early reports on the crowd? Couldn't make the game tonight.

How significant would it be if LSU lost this game?
