Associate Head Coach David Patrick and his LSU Basketball team ran off 10 straight points after Florida Gulf Coast University opened an early lead and never trailed again in scoring an 80-71 win at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center.
LSU, down 4-0, jumped to a 10-4 lead, and gradually built as much as a 16-point lead with 4:10 to go before intermission. LSU led at halftime at home for the first time since the season opener, 42-27.
In the second half, LSU continued to hold the advantage, getting up by as much as 22 with 6:15 to play before some turnovers and long baskets by FGCU allowed Florida Gulf Coast to get to within single digits at game’s end.
