Matt McMahon’s second season in Baton Rouge ended not with a bang but with a whimper as LSU was knocked out of the NIT by North Texas 84-77 Tuesday evening in the PMAC.
Don’t let the final score fool you, the game was nowhere near as close as the score says. North Texas led for 27 minutes and led by as many as 18 points. LSU was able to get within five points with 52 seconds remaining, but North Texas wouldn’t let the Tigers get any closer.
In their final collegiate games, Jordan Wright scored a game-high 25 points, Trae Hannibal scored 15, and Hunter Dean finished with 11.
