The LSU men’s basketball team was competitive for a while at home on Saturday against the No. 16-ranked Alabama Crimson Tide, but despite trailing by just three at the half and even led with just over nine minutes to play, ‘Bama pulled away to a convincing 109-92 win.
It was another big game for Will Baker, who led the team with 24 points, and Jalen Cook, who scored 20 in his return to the court. LSU shot 55% as a team in this one, but the Tide had an effective game as well.
Mark Sears and Latrell Wrightside Jr. each scored more than 20 points for Alabama, and coach Nate Oats’ team won the rebounding battle 43-31.
