LSU basketball will try to bounce back from its upset loss last week, as the Tigers travel to Charleston, South Carolina to take on Dayton in its first game at the Charleston Classic on Thursday (3 p.m., ESPN2).

The Tigers (1-1) were upset by Nicholls State last Friday, trailing by as many as 24 points in the first half before coming back and taking the lead over the final minutes of the game.

LSU had a one-point advantage entering the final seconds but Nicholls guard Jalen White hit a 3-pointer to give the Colonels the lead with 1.2 seconds remaining. Will Baker’s final shot missed for LSU, therefore handing Nicholls State the victory.

Dayton (1-1) lost its first game of the season to Northwestern on the road last Friday, 71-66.

The winner of Thursday’s game will face the winner of North Texas vs. St. John’s on Friday.
