The game didn’t start the way that the LSU Tigers expected in their second game of the season. After an early three-pointer from Darius Days, he didn’t play at the same mark as he did on Tuesday. The Bobcats of Texas State dominated most of the first half, while not going into halftime with a huge lead, they played from ahead in 12:50 of the first 20 minutes.
Alex Fudge was the hero in the first half. He showed off his athleticism on multiple occasions. He had 12 points in the first half. The Tigers looked different at the beginning of the second half as they went on an 8-2 run in the first three minutes to retake the lead but the Bobcats answered immediately.
Tigers were able to withstand the Texas State Bobcats as they went on a 14-2 run to build their lead to 63-49 with under 10 minutes remaining in the second half. After putting up just 32 points in the first half, the Tigers came out with a 52-point half against the Bobcats. They were able to outscore their opposition 52-22 after falling behind by five at the half.
After posting a 30-point performance in the first game, Darius Days followed that up with 17 against the Texas State. Tari Eason added 17 points and 10 rebounds off the bench. Fudge finished with 14 points on the night. Next up the LSU Tigers will host the Liberty Flames.
