In their last three games, the Tigers have demonstrated a solid offensive strategy. Their field goal percentage has been impressive, averaging around 50 percent across these matches. This indicates that they've been taking smart shots and working well as a unit to create scoring opportunities. Additionally, they've maintained a free throw percentage above 65 percent, which could be crucial in close-game situations.


Defensively, the Tigers have also stepped up by averaging over seven steals per game in recent outings. This aggressive defense has led to an average of around 18 points off turnovers per game—a testament to how well they've been able to capitalize on their opponents' mistakes.


The Pete Maravich Assembly Center is known for its vibrant atmosphere and passionate fans, which often gives LSU an extra edge. With an average attendance of over 7,000 spectators cheering them on, it's clear that playing at home is something that works in favor of the Tigers.


However, it's important for LSU not to underestimate Lamar Cardinals who will come into this game looking for an upset. The key for LSU will be maintaining their shooting efficiency while continuing to apply pressure defensively.


Fans can catch all the action from Baton Rouge on December 22nd at 2:00 AM UTC (December 21st at 9:00 PM local time). The game will be broadcasted nationally on SEC Network (channel 611), ensuring supporters won't miss any part of what is expected to be an exciting matchup between these two teams.
