LSU basketball heads for an anticipated offseason this year while the tigers lost 91-62 against the Mississippi Bulldogs During the first round of the dry tournament Wednesday evening in Nashville, Tennessee.
Although he showed a little fight early, LSU (14-18) found himself lagging up from 21 to a given time and in a 20-point deficit at halftime.
However, things started to resume at the start of the second half. The tigers began to capitalize on Bulldogs errors. During the first minutes of opening the period, LSU won the head of a possession at a time, dragging by 11 years with a lot of time.
However, it turned out to be short -lived. The race seemed just to trigger the offensive of the state of the Mississippi, allowing the Bulldogs (21-11) to take front for good.
Another reshuffle of programming
With the season maybe online on Wednesday evening, Matt McMahon chose to return to a four-guard program that had led to certain tigers success during the conference calendar. However, with VyCtorius Miller who was still recovering from an ankle injury was the last time that these two teams played, this forced McMahon to tinker with beginners.
Curtis Givens III returned to the starting program, while Jordan Sears made his second consecutive departure. In addition to the start -up pillars, Cam Carter and Dji Bailey, the first -year student Robert Miller III completed the range as the only beginner.

The offense falls too cold for too long
The opening stages of the first half were close, but a long cold section made things that are not very competitive quickly. After Sears made a 3-point to reduce the deficit to only two points with 10:04 to play before half-time, the offensive pulverized for the rest of the opening period.
The only remaining points for the rest of the half-time came on five free throws. Meanwhile, the state of the Mississippi maintained the pressure at the other end of the court to extend the advance at 20 per break at halftime.
