BATON ROUGE, La. — Middle Tennessee women's basketball fell in the second round of the 2024 NCAA Tournament on Sunday afternoon at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center, dropping the contest against Louisiana State 83-56.
The Lady Raiders (30-5) held the advantage at halftime, winning the second quarter 21-12 to take a 36-32 lead into the locker room at halftime against the Tigers (30-5). MTSU outrebounded LSU 25-18 in the game's first 20 minutes, holding one of the best offensive rebounding teams in the country to just three offensive rebounds at the break.
Second half foul trouble, however, would help the Tigers get back into the game.
