Tennessee finished in a tie for third place in the SEC regular standings and lost the conference tournament quarterfinal round against the Missouri Tigers. They will play their fourth game without starting point guard Zakai Zeigler, who tore his ACL in late February.
Louisiana is on a five-game winning streak and qualified for the NCAA Tournament with a Sun Belt Tournament title in a matchup with the South Alabama Jaguars.
