LSU Goes For 20 Wins Today, Seeks Upset of No. 16 Kentucky In SEC Tournament Quarterfinals
An 2011 SEC Tournament semifinal bid won’t be the only thing at stake for the Lady Tigers today. LSU is seeking its 20th win of the season and to do it the Lady Tigers will have to execute against a 16th-ranked Kentucky team known for forcing turnovers and press defense. A win would give LSU the 22nd 20-win season in school history and the third in four seasons under head coach Van Chancellor. Every LSU team that reached 20 victories prior to NCAA play, reached the NCAA Tournament that season.
LSU has won four in a row over Kentucky in SEC Tournament play and the Lady Tigers are 7-2 all-time against the Wildcats at SEC’s. LSU and UK are meeting in the SEC Tournament for thefirst time since March 8, 2008 when the Lady Tigers won 66-49 in the semifinals here in Nashville. LSU will try to avenge a heartbreaking 49-47 regular season loss to the Wildcats in Lexington. Brittany Henderson made a game-winning layup with 1.1 seconds left for UK.
