But the streak extends to five with a 81-62 loss. Things really turned ugly over the final two minutes of play as, Georgia easily pulled away from the struggling Tigers. As its been all season long, LSU simply doesn't have enough shooters and offensive fire power to compete in SEC play. LSU finished shooting only 36% from the floor on the night. They finished 12-33 from behind the three point arc for 36%. The Tigers shot a weak, 8-13 from the free throw line. They turned the ball over 12 times and the Bulldogs destroyed the Bayou Bengals on the boards, 47-26. Jordan Sears led the team with 11 points. Cam Carter and Daimion Collins both finished with 10 points each. Mike Williams III and Curtis Givens III both added 9 points each. Dji Bailey had 6 and Corey Chest finished with 4 points. The game began with a fast and furious pace and both teams playing well. The game stood at a 15-15 tie when we reached the 14:30 media timeout. All 15 LSU points came from behind the arc as LSU hit 5-8 three point attempts. The Tigers continued to play well on both ends of the court, especially on offense where so far they were having their best three point shooting game of the season. Every LSU basket made up to this point in the contest was a three pointer (nine of them), as they found themselves hitting 9-15 from behind the arc. At the 7:26 media timeout, the score was all even at 27-27. LSU ended up cooling off from the outside and continued to struggle scoring down low in the paint against a tough Bulldogs defense, as we went into the halftime break with Georgia holding a 37-31 advantage. The Bayou Bengals shot 37% from the floor in the first half. 9-21 from behind the arc for 43%. LSU made no trips to the free throw line. They only turned the ball over four times over the first 20 minutes. Georgia dominated on the boards, out-rebounding LSU, 25-8 in the first half. Jordan Sears, Curtis Givens III and Dji Bailey all finished with 6 points each in the first half. Mike Williams III scored 5. Cam Carter and Daimion Collins both added 3 points each and Corey Chest finished with 2 points. The Tigers will need to be more consistent on offense in the second half to have a chance to win the ball game. They simply can't depend on three point shooting to carry them for 40 minutes. The second half began with the same fast pace action that both teams began the contest with, exchanging baskets while pushing the ball quickly up and down the floor. LSU was able to outscore Georgia, 13-12 over the first four minutes of the half to pull to within five, 49-44. Over the next three minutes the Bulldogs would outscore LSU, 13-6 to increase their lead to ten, 60-50 with 11:41 left on the clock. LSU began to revert back to their usual sloppy play. Turnovers and very poor shooting contributed to Georgia increasing their lead to 67-50 as the Tigers found themselves in a 4:02 period without scoring a point. A well coached Georgia team slowly pulled away from LSU and stayed in control the rest of the way to earn the victory. LSU's offense totally disappeared over the final 14 minutes of the game. The Tigers fall to 12-10 overall and 1-8 in the SEC. Next up, the Tigers return home to the PMAC on Saturday, Feb. 8 to host Ole Miss. Tipoff is set for 7:30 pm and the game will be televised on the SEC Network. John 14:6 - "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."
