Troy vs. LSU Game Summary
The Troy Trojans could not get much going on the offensive side of the game here as they shot 31.5% from the floor, 18.8% from distance, and attempted 20 free throws as a team.

The LSU Tigers were able to shoot the basketball incredibly well in this game as they went 48.4% overall, 36.4% from three, and went to the charity stripe 44 times in the game. They were able to dominate on the glass with 54 total rebounds (16 offensive, 38 defensive). They need to do better than turning the ball over 21 times but their talent was able to overcome the sloppy play.
