LSU began its run in the SEC Tournament with about as dominant of a performance that you could hope for as the Tigers crushed Auburn 78-48 in its quarterfinal matchup.
The 30-point win is the second biggest margin of victory in SEC Tournament history. This win over Auburn is especially satisfying, because the Other Tigers have given LSU fits in their two regular season encounters. Auburn beat LSU on their home court in January, and LSU had to hang on for a five-point win in Baton Rouge two weeks ago.
The game was over right from the jump as LSU got off to a 19-0 lead in the first quarter and it was 27-5 at quarter’s end.
