Auburn had 22 points strictly from LSU’s 20 turnovers; 15 of them coming from the first half. Six of the 20 turnovers were from Jordan Sears. It is not a good look when the team’s point guard leads in turnovers.

Despite their turnovers LSU came out fiery in the first half, keeping their lead for over eight minutes. Later into the first half, they lost the lead, and the fighting tigers played catch up for the remainder of the game.

“A loss is a loss. It’s a lesson also,” Cam Carter said.

The problem is that LSU has not learned from their previous games. Turnovers, defensive rebounds and lack of shots being taken has been a problem since the beginning of the season. Something has to change or click if they want to win another game this season, but even coach McMahon doest have an answer.

“I wish I had a solution at this point,” Coach McMahon said.

On the other side of the ball this was the least productive we have seen the nations no. 1 all season. But at the end of the night Auburn dominated the rebound battle, out rebounding LSU by 13 and had six more second chance points.
A key factor to this was Johni Broome. While Broome did have a rocky start, he controlled the second half and led his team to a win with 26 points and 16 rebounds. Broome struggled to finish the shots he put up finishing the night 10-23.

“We couldn’t make a bucket, so how to scratch that out is to rebound for it,” Broome said.

Auburn put up twice as many field goals as LSU, and their biggest lead was 15 points.
As seen in almost every game this season, Cam Carter showed out for the fighting tigers. Carter ended the game with 24 points, two assists and one steal. He is the force this team relies on to win every game.

LSU has a few days of rest, and then they play the University of Texas for the first time as an SEC school in the PMAC on Saturday.
