LSU played its worst basketball of the year and got beat like one of Mississippi State’s cowbells, falling to the Bulldogs 80-66. “They were just spraying it out, knocking down shots, and we dug too deep of a hole to have a chance in this game,” McMahon said. Though LSU’s second half was better, it still only made 43% of shots from the field, and 4-of-20 from 3-point range. You’d think you had déjà vu from the South Carolina game the way LSU came out firing in the second half facing a big deficit. LSU plays at South Carolina on Saturday with a chance to avenge its second worst conference loss of the year.
