FSU (7-1) returns to the court after a week off to play at LSU (6-1) in an ACC/SEC Challenge at Baton Rouge, La., on Tuesday. The game has a late tip at 9 p.m. on SEC Network.

The Seminoles have a four-game win streak, including double-digit wins over Hofstra, UMass and Western Carolina. FSU's seven wins in November is the first time since 2019-20 the program has reached that total in the season's opening month.

FSU has 91 steals in eight games, leading the ACC at 11.4. Chandler Jackson has 17 steals to lead the team. Taylor Bol Bowen has 14 steals and is quickly approaching his total of 18 as a freshman in 2023-24.

Malique Ewin is averaging 13.4 points in his last five games for FSU. He leads the team with 5.4 rebounds.

Jamir Watkins leads FSU in scoring (17.3 points).

The FSU-LSU game is a homecoming for Justin Thomas, who is a Baton Rouge native. We wrote about Thomas' basketball journey a few weeks back.

KenPom projects a close 75-71 LSU win. The metrics now have FSU winning 20 games, but four of the 11 losses are by four points or fewer.

FSU and LSU last played in Orlando in 2018, a 79-76 overtime win for the Seminoles as Mfiondu Kabengele hit a late 3-pointer.

We'll have updates below in the thread.
