STARKVILLE, MISSISSIPPI – The LSU Men’s Basketball lost their 13 th SEC game of the season 81-69 to #24 Mississippi State on Saturday afternoon inside Humphrey Coliseum. The Tigers fall to 14-15 overall and 3-13 in SEC play, while Mississippi State advances to 20-9 and 8-8 in SEC play.

They traveled to Starkville hoping the outcome wouldn’t be the same against the No. 24-ranked Bulldogs. Mississippi State (20-19, 8-8 SEC) was dead set on defending home court and with an overwhelming defensive presence did just that beating the Tigers 81-69.

Cam Carter fought over the screen. The LSU men’s basketball guard was defending hard but was displaced after the step-back and slight push by Mississippi State’s star guard Josh Hubbard. The 5-foot-11 guard created enough space and had the ball hang on the rim and drop for his 30th point of the game.
