Weil Baton Rouge, LA- After beginning their third season together with a dominant 35-point victory, Matt McMahon and the LSU Men’s Basketball program went back to work Sunday evening. Although life wasn’t easy in the beginning, the Tigers pulled out a 74-61 victory over the Alabama State University Hornets to improve to 2-0. Both teams started slow. At the 15:54 mark in the first half, the score was tied at four apiece during the first official timeout of the game. The Tigers struggled shooting the ball in all phases early on with splits of 30%-25%-50% from the field, arc, and charity stripe respectively. Luckily for LSU, the Hornets’ percentages were not much better over the first 12 minutes of play. With 7:49 to go in the opening frame, Alabama State found themselves down by four. As LSU continued to have trouble putting the ball in the basket, the ASU Hornets made the most of it, working their way to a six-point halftime lead, thanks in large part to their efficiency at the free-throw line. The Hornets were 8-10 from the stripe as the LSU was just 7-14. An ugly first half came to a close for the Tigers that featured eight turnovers, 11 personal fouls, and a 32-26 deficit. Less than four minutes into the second period, LSU was able to trim the Hornet lead to just a single point. ASU was forced to use one of its remaining timeouts with 16:34 remaining after they picked up their fifth team foul. Rob Miller III gave the Tigers their first lead since being up 25-24 in the first period, but ASU quickly jumped back out in front, going on a 9-0 run. With 11 minutes to go, LSU trailed 48-42. Jordan Sears got hot in a hurry for LSU, leading a fiery comeback charge for the home team that included knocking down a pair of free throws to put the Tigers back in front, 52-51. Cam Carter joined the fun, knocking down a trey to extend the lead to four. LSU went on a 17-4 run before a timeout was called. As the game clock wound to under three minutes, the Tigers led 66-55. Eventually, the Hornets’ efforts just fell short. LSU would go on to win the ballgame 74-61. Up next, LSU will travel to Bramlage Coliseum for a date with the Kansas State Wildcats. That game will be on Thursday, November 14, 2024, at 8:00 p.m. CST. Fans can view the live stream on ESPN+. Geaux Tigers! Thanks for reading! Follow @JWatsonJr__ on X for more!
