LSU basketball score vs. Texas A&M: Live updates from College Station
LSU basketball will look to score its second win in SEC play when the Tigers face off against Texas A&M in College Station on Saturday (5 p.m., SEC Network).
LSU (12-2, 1-1) lost a hard-fought battle to No. 25 Kentucky to begin its conference road slate on Tuesday, falling 74-71 in Lexington. The Tigers trailed by a point with nine seconds left to play, but two made free throws from Kentucky's Jacob Toppin and a missed last-second shot attempt from LSU's KJ Williams sealed the game's fate.
Despite the loss, LSU was competitive throughout. Kentucky led for most of the game but its lead never grew to more than 10. Williams made sure of it, as his 23 points on 13 shots guided the Tigers' offense.
Texas A&M (9-5, 1-0), despite high expectations this season, has struggled with losses against Wofford, Murray State and Boise State. But the Aggies won their first SEC matchup of the season on Wednesday, beating Florida 66-63 in Gainesville.
