Winning is just a little bit easier when your three-point shooting is a whole 24.1% better than the opposition, a fact LSU proved on Tuesday. They slipped by the Bulldogs 67-66. The victory was just what LSU needed coming off of a 87-67 defeat in their prior game.
Jordan Wright was the offensive standout of the match as he scored 17 points along with five rebounds and two steals.

Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead Vanderbilt to victory, but perhaps none more so than Ven-Allen Lubin, who dropped a double-double on 19 points and 12 rebounds. Another player making a difference was Ezra Manjon, who scored 22 points.
The Tigers are on a roll lately: they’ve won three of their last four matches, which provided a nice bump to their 15-13 record this season. As for the Commodores, their win ended a eight-game drought on the road and puts them at 8-20.
LSU beat the Commodores 77-69 in their previous meeting back in January. The rematch might be a little tougher for LSU since the team won’t have the home-court advantage this time around. We’ll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
