The Tigers concluded a disappointing 2022-23 regular season on Saturday night with a 79-67 road loss to the Florida Gators at Exactech Arena.
LSU (13-18, 2-16 SEC) led by four at halftime and by as much as 12 in the early minutes of the second half, but it turned the ball over eight times in the final 20 minutes. Florida (16-15, 9-9 SEC), meanwhile, scored 50 points in the second half and retook control of the game.
[autotag]KJ Williams[/autotag] came up just short of a double-double with 19 points and nine rebounds, while [autotag]Derek Fountain[/autotag] did record one with 13 points and 12 rebounds. Still, it wasn’t enough in this game.
The Tigers will now head to Nashville for the SEC tournament, where they’ll take on No. 11-seeded Georgia on Wednesday night as the No. 14 seed. That game will tip off around 8:30 p.m. CT.
