GAME RECAP: No. 2 Michigan State 80, No. 3 LSU 63
Amber Searls-USA TODAY SportsThe LSU basketball season came to an end Friday night in the Capital One Center. It ended not with a bang, but a whimper as the Tigers were thoroughly outplayed by Michigan State right from the opening tip.
The Spartans got off to an 8-0 start two minutes into the game and forced LSU interim coach Tony Benford to call a timeout. The Spartans (31-6) got their first five points from Aaron Henry and the other from Cassius Winston before Tremont Waters could get LSU (28-7) on the board with a layup underneath the basket.
