AUBURN, Alabama – The LSU Tigers fought back and cut a 28-point deficit to single digits before falling to No. 16 Auburn, 93-78, Saturday evening at Neville Arena.

LSU came out good at the beginning of the first half, taking an 12-8 lead in the first five minutes as the two teams both made points seem easy. Jalen Cook would have seven points during that opening spurt by the Tigers.

But Auburn then went on the first of two big runs in the opening 20 minutes that gave them the lead back at 13-12 and eventually 18-12 before LSU would score again.

LSU found its turnover issues cropping up with the tight Auburn defense and in the half that resulted in a 14-5 advantage for the Auburn Tigers in points off turnovers.
