How to Watch LSU Basketball Versus SMU in the Compete 4 Cause Classic

The LSU Basketball team had nearly a week off but, the Tigers now head West to Frisco, Texas to take on the SMU Mustangs. The Tigers have started the season off in impressive fashion with an 8-1 record while SMU has done the same in Andy Enfield's first season at SMU. The LSU Basketball team picking up a win would prove a ton ahead of SEC play while also giving LSU a massive resume piece.

Injury Report for the LSU Tigers

The LSU Basketball team will be without Veteran Forward Jalen Reed who tore his ACL in the game against Florida State which will end his season. Tyrell Ward was ruled out for the season before the season opener by Matt McMahon as he steps away to focus on his mental health. In the final minutes of the Florida Gulf Coast game, Noah Boyde made his season debut for LSU which means he should be available.

A chance to earn a true resume building win

While every game against the Mid-Majors has helped build LSU's resume up as well as the Power 4 wins over Kansas State, UCF, and Florida State, this is the biggest game yet for LSU. The Mustangs are highly regarded by analysts and the metrics. A win will give LSU their first Quad One win of the season which can go a long way in March if LSU is sitting on the bubble for the NCAA Tournament.
