The LSU Tigers have been showcasing a strong offensive game as evidenced by their last two performances. In their semifinal match against Ole Miss Rebels, they dominated with a 100 percent success rate in two-point attempts and an overall field goal percentage of 80 percent within just one quarter of play. Their defensive prowess was also on display as they managed to keep personal fouls at bay while securing a steal and an assist.


Their quarterfinal clash against Auburn saw them ramp up their efforts even further. The team's field goal percentage stood at a solid 46 percent with an impressive free throw accuracy of 87 percent over four quarters. Defensively, they were formidable with six blocks and eleven steals contributing to a decisive win.

The statistics suggest that LSU is on an upward trajectory when it comes to both offense and defense. Their ability to convert opportunities into points in the paint has been remarkable, along with maintaining a positive assists turnover ratio which indicates efficient ball handling under pressure.


However, playing away from home always presents its own set of challenges. The atmosphere at Bon Secours Wellness Arena is known for being intense and could play into the Gamecocks' favor if LSU isn't prepared for the energy from opposing fans.
