Much like they did last Saturday in College Station, the LSU men’s basketball team (12-7, 1-5) played a pretty good but otherwise incomplete game against #4 Alabama (17-3, 6-1) losing 80-73 last night.
Alabama has now won 10 of the last 11 meetings against LSU.
The Tide and Tigers traded buckets throughout the first half and the two teams went into halftime tied at 40. The back-and-forth nature of the game extended about five minutes into the second half before Alabama kicked into a gear that LSU simply couldn’t match.
LSU’s final lead came at the 15:23 mark in the second half, leading by a slim 50-49 margin.
