It was close, then it was ugly, then Auburn fought back in it late, but couldn't pull off the comeback victory.
Auburn's woes continued tonight, as the Tigers just couldn't hold off Ben Simmons and the LSU Tigers. Simmons almost had a double-double in the first half as he made everything look easy against the home Tigers. Auburn just did not have an answer for his offensive skills in the first half.
Auburn played tough in the early first half, keeping the game close. Simmons put up 19 points for LSU, and Auburn managed to play clean enough that they didn't even put LSU into the bonus in the 1st half.
