The LSU men’s basketball team picked up by far and away its most impressive win of the 2021-2022 season with a 74-58 win over the Atlantic Sun favorites Liberty Flames.
Liberty clung to a slim 26-25 lead at halftime but LSU put the clamps on the Flames defensively and went on a 27-6 run over the game’s final minutes to seal the win.
“We played so hard defensively,” Will Wade said. “That’s three-straight teams we’ve held under 60 points.”
One big reason for LSU’s strong defensive game was sophomore guard Eric Gaines who had five steals.
