Men’s basketball falls 74-63 to mid-major East Tennessee

The end result of tonight’s LSU men’s basketball game against East Tennessee did not truly reflect the struggles the Tigers faced.

The Tigers suffered one of the worst losses of the Will Wade era as they fell 74-63 to ETSU. Senior guard Skylar Mays said he felt that ETSU simply “wanted it” more than the Tigers did.

“Obviously a tough night,” Wade said. “East Tennessee played tremendously. Give them credit. They had a great, great gameplay. They shrunk the paint on us and then they just pinned their ears back and killed us on the offensive glass.
