The Tigers didn’t quite have it in them to pull off a second-straight seed upset (and their second win over Vanderbilt of the season) on Thursday night. Facing the Commodores at the SEC Tournament in Nashville with a spot in the quarterfinals on the line, LSU’s season came to an end in the second round with a 77-68 loss.
It ends a rough campaign for first-year coach [autotag]Matt McMahon[/autotag], whose team finished the year 14-19 and just a 2-16 record in SEC regular season play. However, it did win a game in the SEC Tournament against Georgia.
LSU shot just 33.3% from the field in the loss on Thursday night, and the biggest bright spot offensively was [autotag]KJ Williams[/autotag], who had a 26-point, 11-rebound double-double. [autotag]Cam Hayes[/autotag] also scored 16.
Here were the photos from the loss, which ended the Tigers’ slim chances at an NCAA Tournament auto-bid.
