Like I keep saying, same story, different game. LSU is competitive for much of the contest, but they simply don’t have enough offensive fire-power to compete with SEC competition. Poor shooting and turnovers doom them each and every game. LSU shot 41% on the night. They hit 7-27 three point attempts for 26%. LSU went 10-16 from the free throw line. Those six missed points was the difference in the ball game. The Tigers committed ten total turnovers and were out-rebounded, 44-28. Victorius Miller led the team with 17 points. Cam Carter scored 12. Daimion Collins finished with 9 points. Curtis Givens III added 8 points. Dji Bailey contributed 5. Robert Miller III had 4 points. Jordan Sears and Mike Williams III both added 2 points each. The contest surprisingly started as a low scoring affair. At the 15:08 media timeout, Tennessee led, 7-5. Both teams would play even over the next four minutes, as the Vols held a 14-12 advantage at the 11:29 mark. LSU would go into a six minute scoring drought, allowing Tennessee to extend their lead to 22-14 with 5:42 left in the first half. Both teams continued to play sloppy and shoot poorly, as the Vols would outscore LSU, 8-6 over the next seven minutes, to hold a 26-20 lead. Daimion Collins hit a three pointer with 40 seconds left in the half to cut the Volunteers lead to three, 26-23 at halftime. LSU shot 37% from the floor in the first half. They were 3-15 from behind the arc for 20%. They missed their only free throw attempt. The Tigers turned the ball over six times while forcing Tennessee into eight. The Vols out-rebounded LSU, 22-13 over the first 20 minutes of play. Victorius Miller led the team at the break with 10 points. Daimion Collins scored 5 points. Dji Bailey added 4. Cam Carter and Mike Williams III both finished with 2 points each. LSU played great defense in the first half. Can they keep this level of play up or will they have their typical second half collapse? Tennessee started the second half with a 10-5 run to extend their advantage to, 36-28 at the 15:29 mark while LSU continued to struggle offensively. Both teams continued to play solid defense and struggle on offense, but Tennessee was doing just enough to remain in control of the contest. With 11:06 left, LSU trailed, 43-35. At the 6:49 media timeout, the Vols held a 53-44 advantage. Tennessee slowly pulled away late in the game to earn the victory. With the loss, LSU falls to 14-14 overall and 3-12 in SEC play. Next up, the Tigers travel to Starkville to play #24 Mississippi State on Saturday, March 1 at 2:30 pm. The game will be televised on the SEC Network.
