LSU’s men’s basketball team entered the 2023-24 season hoping to reverse last season’s woes, but instead hit what felt like a new low on Friday night.
The Tigers were stunned at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center by Nicholls, losing 68-66 on a last-second go-ahead shot.
LSU looked like it was heading for disaster as the Colonels jumped out to a 16-4 lead and took a 44-25 advantage to the locker room after a horrendous first-half shooting performance. The Tigers came out in the second half on fire, erasing the deficit while shooting above 50% in the frame.
They took a lead with 3:11 to play, but they couldn’t manage to pull away, allowing Nicholls to take the game at the end.
