The LSU men’s basketball team beat Ole Miss, 81-53, on Saturday in Oxford, Miss.
LSU set the tone for the game right from tipoff. The Tigers capitalized on four Ole Miss turnovers in the game’s first three minutes and shot 75 percent on the way to a 12-0 lead that would not be challenged.
The Tigers led 28-13 by the 10-minute mark of the first half and went into halftime with a 41-18 advantage.
“I am happy for our group,” said LSU men’s basketball coach Trent Johnson. “We’ve been frustrated with our performances on the road. We feel very fortunate, even though we played well, to go on the road and pick up a win in this league. It’s a good thing.”
