STARKVILLE, Miss. -- Mississippi State almost was as dominating on the boards against LSU as the Tigers were against the University of Arkansas men's basketball team.
After LSU outrebounded the Razorbacks 53-24 and hung on for a 79-77 victory at home Jan. 8, Mississippi State came into the Maravich Assembly Center for the next game.
The Tigers won 60-59 on Skylar Mays' last-second jump shot, but Mississippi State outrebounded LSU 49-31.
"I got sick to my stomach when I looked at the Mississippi State-LSU box score, because Mississippi State annihilated LSU on the backboards in the rebounding game, and we all know that we were minus-29 on the glass at LSU," Razorbacks Coach Eric Musselman said Monday night on his radio show.
