Can LSU make it three in a row? LSU will try and extend its two-game SEC winning streak in Gainesville on Saturday when the Tigers face off against the Florida Gators (9-5, 1-1) at 12:30 p.m. CT on CBS.

Florida is better than its record would suggest, with three of the losses coming to ranked teams. LSU (9-5, 2-0) will look to avoid a letdown after an emotional win in Baton Rouge against Kentucky.

Here are three things LSU has to do to win on Saturday afternoon.

1. Keep the intensity high

LSU has played with a sense of urgency the past two games, and they need to do so again today. LSU, under Johnny Jones, has been known to have letdowns, especially last year, where the Tigers lost five games to SEC teams that finished in the bottom five of the conference. If LSU comes out and plays with the same effort and intensity that it did against Kentucky, the Tigers have a good shot in this one.

2. Force Florida to shoot from the outside

Florida shoots poorly from three, only making 28 percent of their three-point tries this season. Whether LSU goes zone and packs it in, or plays a sagging man, they have to make Florida beat them from the outside.

3. Play inside out

Outside of center John Egbunu, Florida doesn't have a player that logs significant playing time that is over 6-foot-8. Ben Simmons and Craig Victor lived from the free throw line against Kentucky, and each recorded a double-double. This is another game where the duo should be able to have success in the paint, and in turn, create open perimeter shots for LSU’s shooters.
