LSU was hoping to get a winning streak going after its strong showing against Arkansas on Saturday, but that wasn’t in the cards for the Tigers.
Coach Matt McMahon’s team fell behind early against Tennessee, and though it rallied in the second half, it wasn’t able to recover against a Volunteers team that had a red-hot night from the floor.
They shot over 50% in the game, scoring 88 points in a 20-point victory. Dalton Knecht was particularly effective, scoring a game-high 27 points. LSU, meanwhile, only had two players score in double figures: [autotag]Will Baker[/autotag] (16) and [autotag]Derek Fountain[/autotag] (11).
LSU drops to 12-10 (4-5 SEC), and it will return home to face another major test on Saturday as Alabama comes to town. The Tigers will look for revenge after a loss in Tuscaloosa earlier this season.
In the meantime, here are the photos from Wednesday night’s loss.
