With Southeastern Conference play starting Saturday, LSU men's basketball coach Trent Johnson is about excited as he can be to begin the "second season" of sorts in 2010.

LSU guard Bo Spencer bounced back from his worst game of the season with 18 points and Tasmin Mitchell added 19 as the Tigers beat McNeese State 83-60 on Monday night at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center.

BATON ROUGE, La. - Carlon Brown hit a game-winning 3-pointer with 1:11 remaining, as Utah rallied from a 12-point second-half deficit to win 61-59 against LSU on Saturday night.

Tasmin Mitchell has hit game-winning 3-pointers before, including one that beat Kentucky last season to clinch the Southeastern Conference title for LSU.

LSU sophomore forward Storm Warren lays the ball up Saturday during the Tigers' 73-62 comeback win against the Demons in the PMAC.

It took longer than expected, but Storm Warren and Tasmin Mitchell combined for key plays in LSU's 73-62 victory over Northwestern State on Saturday night.

This is the final SEC power ranking of the year, even though there is one sort of important game left on the conference slate.

LSU got double doubles from Tasmin Mitchell and Storm Warren to hold off Louisiana-Lafayette, 66-58 at the Maravich Assembly Center Tuesday.

It's a good thing for the LSU men's basketball team's injury-riddled guards that Louisiana-Lafayette, the Tigers' last opponent before final exams, gives a more conventional look than Arizona State in the last game of the NIT Season Tip-Off last week.

LSU was not expected to win the Tip-Off National Invitation Tournament last week in Madison Square Garden in New York City.

LSU forward Tasmin Mitchell's path to the basket is blocked by Arizona State's Eric Boateng during the second half of the Tigers' 71-52 loss to the Sun Devils in the consolation game of the NIT Season Tip-Off on Friday at Madison Square Garden.

Derek Glasser scored a career-high 24 points, Eric Boateng added 17 and Arizona State used its suffocating zone defense to beat LSU 71-52 on Friday in the consolation game of the NIT Season Tip-Off. The Sun Devils trailed 34-27 at halftime before locking down, forcing the Tigers to miss 15 of their first 17 shots out of the break.

When LSU guard Alex Farrer suffered a dislocated left kneecap Nov. 8, the best-case scenario was the senior would be back after six weeks.

Storm Warren had his second double-double in as many games as LSU defeated Indiana State 56-45 on Monday night.

Storm Warren contributed a double-double as LSU downed Indiana State, 56-45, in the National Invitational Tournament Season Tip-Off at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center tonight.

The one thing that couldn't happen to LSU's basketball season has already happened.

The LSU men's basketball team, already lacking in bodies, suffered another blow Sunday.

Mena s basketball coach Trent Johnson, famous for allowing walk-ons to join the team, accepted four players after tryouts Sept.

On a team that already won't have much depth this season, the LSU's men's basketball team had an offseason with perhaps way too much medical news.

The LSU men's basketball team finalized its roster for the 2009-10 season Monday, adding four walk-ons after holding tryouts last week.
