After leading by 10 at halftime and as much as 15 in the second half, the LSU Tigers fell to the Houston Cougars Wednesday night in Houston 82-76. LSU’s record falls to 7-3 while the Cougars improve to 9-0 and extend their home winning streak to 22 games.
The Tigers have now lost nine straight true road games and will end the calendar year of 2018 without a single true road win.
Thirteen seconds into the second half, Naz Reid dropped in a layup to extend LSU’s lead to 47-35. The Tigers would fail to score a single shot from the field for another ten minutes and eighteen seconds, a Darius Days layup.
