BATON ROUGE – When Kim Mulkey , her LSU women's basketball team and Dawn Staley and her South Carolina squad square off, it's always under the bright lights.

ESPN announced Sunday that it's college roadshow will be at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center Feb. 14 (7:30 p.m. CT, ESPN) when LSU hosts South Carolina. This will be the third straight season that College Gameday has been on site for the SEC's biggest rivalry and second time in three season the show has been in Baton Rouge for the LSU-South Carolina matchup.
No. 5 LSU (21-2, 7-2 SEC) currently holds the longest active win streak in the Southeastern Conference at seven straight including it's dominant 103-63 win over No. 22 Alabama Sunday. It has to travel to face No. 4 Texas this coming Thursday (8 p.m. CT, ESPN) and faces Auburn before the game with South Carolina.

Two years ago, the Tigers jumped out on the Gamecocks in the first half before Staley's team fought back and earned a hard-nosed, 76-70 win. At the time, LSU was ranked No. 9 and South Carolina was the top-ranked team in the country.
LSU has not beaten South Carolina since Mulkey took over the program five years ago and has lost 17 straight games to South Carolina dating back to 2012.
