LSU basketball met South Carolina for the second time this season, following a 14-point loss to Mississippi State at home. Coach Matt McMahon’s team fell to the Gamecocks in the first matchup by 10 points.

LSU has relied heavily on its stars in recent years. Last season, for example, Aneesah Morrow, Flau’jae Johnson and Mikaylah Williams were responsible for 63% of the shots it took and 66% of the points it scored against SEC opponents.
