The Wofford Terriers will travel to LSU to square off with the Tigers in Baton Rouge, Louisiana with an out-of-conference kickoff to the 2016-17 NCAAB season, scheduled for a 2:00 PM tip-off. The game will be available for streaming on LSU’s TigerTV on their athletics website.
LSU comes in with bright prospects. The Tigers were in the 2015 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament as an 8 seed and managed to come away with a win over NC State in the First Round. LSU would love to get back to that state and can certainly do so as the SEC is a wide-open conference for the most part in 2016. The major question for the Tigers is how they replace Ben Simmons who departed for the NBA.
The Wofford Terriers are hoping for a better way of things in the 2016-17 season. The Terriers have reached the summit as a 2010 Southern Conference Champion and seemingly believed at one point last year this could be achieved yet again. Down the backstretch things got complicated for Wofford. The Terriers finished at 15-17, posting an 11-7 conference record while going just 4-14 in road games. As a result of their troubles on the road, Wofford lost four of their last five contests summarily exiting early from the Southern Conference Tournament.
