The LSU Men's basketball team is starting to come together under first year head coach Johnny Jones.  After a 80-68 win over Mississippi State on Saturday, the Tigers are now 6-6 in the SEC after starting 0-4.

Junior forward Johnny O'Bryant III leads the SEC in double-doubles after going for 10 points and 11 rebounds against the Bulldogs.  Charles Carmouche led the tigers with 21 points in just 23 minutes.  LSU led by as much as 20 in the second half.

The Tigers are in the middle of a grueling three game swing that has had them playing games on Thursday-Saturday-Tuesday.  They've won the first two legs of the set, and next play Tuesday night against  Tennessee.
