LSU: This time last year, I had the Tigers as a program on the rise. LSU couldn’t improve on a 19-win (9-9 SEC) record from 2012-2013 and settled for the NIT. With Jarrell Martin and Jordan Mickey — joined by Elbert Robertson — the Tigers will have no shortage of size on the frontline. The back court will be new with JuCo point guard Josh Gray and 6-foot-4 transfer Keith Hornsby. LSU is one of several SEC teams looking to join Kentucky and Florida in the Big Dance.

The Tigers lost to SMU in the 2nd round of the NIT last season and finished 20-14 overall and 9-9 in the SEC.
