Wednesday night Matt McMahon (12-1, 1-0) scored the first and biggest win of his LSU tenure as the Tigers took down #9 Arkansas (11-2, 0-1) 60-57 to open conference play.
It was night the most aesthetically pleasing game of basketball you’ll ever see—both teams shot under 30 percent in the first half—but Ws count all the same these days.
“A couple of things stand out. Number one, I’m proud of our players,” Matt McMahon said. “I thought that they played with great toughness and effort and sustained it for 40 minutes. They deserve all the credit for gutting out a tough and nasty win here.
