5 Thoughts: Louisiana State 68, Texas A&M 53

That was ugly.

The Texas A&M men’s basketball team led for most of the first half, even carrying a tight 32-30 lead into the break. However, it was all LSU in the second stanza as the Tigers ended the game on a shocking 38-21 run to win convincingly in College Station, 68-53.

It was a bad loss on so many levels for the Aggies, and the schedule gets much tougher with a road game against No. 25 Auburn on Tuesday before No. 6 Kentucky comes to town on Saturday.
