Weil BATON ROUGE, LA - LSU hosted Texas on Saturday afternoon in the Pete Maravich Assembly Center hoping to end their three game losing streak, unfortunately it wasn't meant to be, as LSU dropped a winnable game against an pretty evenly matched opponent, 89-58. Texas simply coasted their way to the blow out victory over the last 11:43 of the contest. LSU finished the game shooting, 45% from the floor. They were 2-15 from three point range for 13%. They sank 10-15 free throws for 67%. LSU turned the ball over 15 times while Texas only committed 7. The Longhorns out-rebounded the Tigers, 35-23. Texas sank 10-21 three point attempts on the night. Jordan Sears led the team with 13 points. Robert Miller III and Vyctorius Miller both had 9 points each. Cam Carter and Corey Chest both scored 6 points each. Dji Bailey and Trey'Dez Green added 4 points each. Daimion Collins finished with 3 points. Texas took advantage of LSU's typical slow start, taking a 9-4 lead at the 15:55 media timeout. The Tigers would outscore the Longhorns, 9-7 over the next six minutes to cut the Texas lead to, 16-13 at the 10:22 mark. LSU would then go cold from the floor, allowing Texas to increase their lead to, 24-15 with 7:37 left in the first half. Five minutes later, the Bayou Bengals found themselves trailing by eight, 31-23 as their inconsistent play continued to haunt them. The contest would go to the halftime break with Texas leading, 31-25. Even with LSU trailing by six, the game stats were pretty even. Both teams shot 41% from the floor. Both teams committed six turnovers each. The difference was from behind the three point arc, where the Tigers hit only 1-10 and Texas sank, 4-10. LSU was 0-2 from the free throw line. Jordan Sears led the team at the break with 8 points. Robert Miller III scored 6 points. Vyctorius Miller added 5. Dji Bailey, Cam Carter and Derek Fountain all managed 2 points each. Both teams started the second half with wild, out of control, sloppy play, but it was the Longhorns who would settle down and go on a 12-6 run to increase their advantage to 43-31 at the 15:34 mark. LSU plays hard, but they are a very undisciplined team that plays very inconsistent basketball. They lack badly in the scoring department. Just not enough good shooters on this team. With 11:43 left in the contest, Texas increased their lead to 52-33. At the 7:30 official's timeout, Texas led, 66-46 as the fans in the Maravich Center began heading to the exits. It was a very ugly loss for the Bayou Bengals who now fall to 12-9 overall and 1-7 in the SEC. Next up the Tigers will travel to Athens to play Georgia on Wednesday, Feb. 5 at 8:00 pm. the game will be televised on the SEC Network.
