The biggest spark for LSU Sunday against UNC-Wilmington came with 4 minutes, 25 seconds left in the first half.
At that moment was when Tremont Waters drew a second offensive foul called against LSU in as many trips down the floor, and coach Will Wade said enough to a referee for the Tigers to be assessed a technical foul.
The ensuing free throws drew the visiting Seahawks to within seven points, but from then until the end of the half, LSU made seven of nine shots and turned a 33-26 lead into a 52-36 advantage at halftime.
