The third-seeded LSU Tigers (27-4) are set to battle the 11th-seeded Florida Gators (16-16) in the SEC Tournament quarterfinals on Friday at Bon Secours Wellness Arena.
Thanks to their high seeding, the Tigers secured a double-bye, automatically advancing to the last eight without having to navigate the opening two rounds. Their opponent was decided on Thursday night when Florida stunned sixth-seeded Alabama, fending off a late Crimson Tide rally to pull off the upset.
LSU already got the better of Florida earlier this season, rolling to an 80-63 triumph in Gainesville. However, the Tigers will be missing a key offensive weapon in Flau’jae Johnson, who is unavailable for the tournament.
