TUCSON, Ariz. — The LSU Tigers arrived her Tuesday night looking for the chance to show they can compete with the upper echelon as they take on the Arizona Wildcats Wednesday at the McKale Center.
The game is set for 9:30 p.m. CST and will be televised nationally by Fox Sports Net (Channel 26 in Baton Rouge and Fox Sports Southwest in Louisiana). The radio broadcast will be carried on the LSU Sports Network (Eagle 98.1 FM in Baton Rouge) and on the Internet at www.lsusports.net.
