Associate Head Coach David Patrick and the LSU Tigers, after an impressive scoring run in the first half, hit a cold shooting stretch in the second half which allowed No. 21 Texas A&M to rally for a 66-52 win over the Tigers at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center.
The Tigers will now head to Nashville on Monday to make final preparations for the SEC Tournament which begins on Wednesday at Bridgestone Arena. LSU will face the No. 10 seed, Mississippi State, at 6 p.m. in the opening game of the night session. The game will be televised on the SEC Network and broadcast on the affiliates of the LSU Sports Radio Network.
