The Alabama and LSU men's basketball programs came into SEC play with the same record, but they've each had very different results when facing indisputably the nation's best conference this season.

Alabama is 5-1 in SEC play while LSU is 1-4. The Crimson Tide's scoring offense currently ranks No. 1 in the country while LSU is 71st. However, besides a 109-102 triple-overtime win over UCF, the Tigers have yet to allow more than 90 points in a game––Alabama's average score per game. Including the UCF win, LSU has given up more than 80 points just three times.

Alabama will host the Tigers on Saturday evening hoping to avoid a major upset.
