The LSU men’s basketball team woke up Sunday afternoon faster than a freshman who overslept a mid-term.Facing its largest deficit of the conference season, LSU (19-4, 7-1) put together a 17-0 run to turn a slow start against Alabama (13-10, 3-6) into a 76-62 win.”We got off to a real sluggish start, and quite frankly I was sort of surprised,” said LSU men’s basketball coach Trent Johnson. “But it’s no surprise, to this team or to me that once we find out the flow of the game we try to find a way to wear people down, and it was the same way tonight.”Five minutes into an early Sunday tipoff, the 10,578 fans in attendance at the PMAC had to be wondering if the Tigers were still hitting the snooze button. Alabama raced out to an 11-2 lead fueled by four LSU turnovers, while the Tigers shot 1-of-6 from the field.”We came onto the court without intensity,” said senior guard Garrett Temple. “Coach [Johnson] was a little upset … We were just sluggish offensively. We were not executing like we know we can.”Then the alarm went off.
