Fireworks are expected whenever two of the best offensive sides in the country meet. With revenge in mind, Texas hosting LSU has all the ingredients for a must-watch showdown.

The last time these two sides met, the LSU Tigers pulled off the improbable, securing a ranked win that had eluded Kim Mulkey in SEC play since she took over the program. That result also marked the first loss of the season for Vic Schaefer’s Texas side, making this matchup about more than just standings. This time around, the Longhorns will be out to rewrite those wrongs on their home floor.

All signs point toward an entertaining showdown, and we have all the key details you need ahead of tip-off.

Prediction: Can Texas get its revenge?

Since beating Texas, LSU has not lost a game, adding two more ranked wins over Oklahoma and Alabama to its résumé and climbing to No. 5 in the country. Texas, on the other hand, followed that loss with another defeat to South Carolina before responding with a three-game unbeaten run that includes a win over Oklahoma, leaving them currently ranked No. 4 in the country.

Vic Schaefer has long voiced concerns about scheduling, but this time, he will have home-court advantage against LSU, giving Texas an extra edge. Offensively, however, there is little separating the two sides. LSU Tigers lead the nation in scoring at 98.9 points per game, while Texas Longhorns sit third, averaging 88.3 points per contest.

Kim Mulkey’s side currently ranks second in the country in field goal percentage, shooting an impressive 52.22 percent from the floor. The Longhorns are not far behind, sitting fourth nationally at 50.99 percent.

Defensively, the margins are just as tight. Texas holds opponents to 54.4 points per game, while the Lady Tigers allow 57.6 a night. On the numbers alone, this matchup is too close to call.

Even so, ESPN’s projections lean the other way. The network gives Texas a 62.9 percent chance of winning, primarily because it’s playing at home. That said, facing an LSU team riding a seven-game winning streak, the longest active run in the conference, will be anything but straightforward.
