LSU is looking for its first win in conference play after suffering road defeats at Florida, South Carolina, Georgia and Tennessee. The Tigers feature three student-athletes featured in the ITA top-100 singles rankings in 12th-ranked Ken Skupski, 83rd-ranked Jason Hazley and 84th-ranked Mark Growcott. Skupski and Growcott form the nation?s sixth-ranked doubles tandem. UK features fourth-ranked senior All-American Jesse Witten, who joins with fellow senior Tigran Martirosyan to solidify the nation?s 21st-ranked doubles pair. UK is unbeaten in its last three meetings with LSU.

Kentucky dealt LSU a 6-1 defeat a season ago in Lexington and eliminated the Tigers from the last two SEC Tournaments.
