Oklahoma Dominates LSU in 83-67 Win

0:00On March 1st, Oklahoma's defense dominated LSU in an 83-67 win for the Sooners, on Saturday, at the Pete Maravitch Assembly Center. The Tigers struggled with just 34.9% shooting from the field and made only 6-23 from 3-point range. Meanwhile, Oklahoma shot 47.5% overall and drained 10-3s to pull away. LSU's Max McKinnon led with 17 points, while PJ Carter added 12 on 4-3-pointers in the second half. Mike N. Wackel scored 11, and Pablo Tomba nashed his fifth double-double with 10 points and 10 rebounds. For Oklahoma, Nigel Pack topped the scores with 21 points including 5-3s, Xavier Brown had 20, and two others reached double. Figures Coach Matt McMahon gave credit to Oklahoma, noting their top 10 offensive efficiency over the past month, and Strong Guard played at pressured LSU on. Both ends. He said his team couldn't get quality shots against their tight defense, especially after a hot performance against Ole Miss earlier in the week.

1:05Even with a 37-35 rebound edge and more second chance points, LSU managed just 22 in the paint. Rob Miller III blocked four shots for the second straight game, but left early after taking a hit to the nose. McMahon explained a recent line of changes with Miller and Nuoco were about finding the best combinations for efficiency. The Sooners led 31-33 at halftime and stretched it to 22 late. LSU heads to Auburn next for a 9pm central tip on the SEC network, then wraps the regular season at home against Texas A&M on March 7th at name. 5pm with senior ceremonies beforehand
