Weil COLLEGE STATION, TX - The Tigers traveled to College Station to take on the #11 Aggies and sputtered late after playing well most of the game to suffer a disappointing 68-57 conference loss. Once again, the Tigers had a serious issue with turning the ball over as they committed 18 on the night. LSU played the Aggies tough until halfway through the second half, then began to meltdown.

LSU went on a 11-7 run, but could only hold onto the lead briefly, as the Aggies held a two point lead, 27-25 at the 3:11 mark of a very competitive contest. The Bayou Bengals refused to back down to the 11th ranked Aggies, playing them to a tie at halftime. 30-30. LSU shot 33% from from the floor in the first half. They sank 4-16 three point attempts for 25%. The Tigers continue to shoot great from the free throw line, sinking 8-9 from the line for 89%.
