Rivalry games very rarely need any extra encouragement and after a 64-46 loss at the hands of Ole Miss earlier in the season, Mississippi State was looking for revenge.
LSU could not miss in the first half, the Tigers shot 100 percent from three over the first ten minutes of the game and built a substantial lead over Auburn before taking the game 104-80.
The first half started a little slow for both squads but behind Devontae Shuler and his career-high 31 points, the Rebels found their rhythm in the late first half heading into the second.
At the end of the day, Sarah and her family know she has a job to do and they believe the skills that got her to the biggest stage in football will carry her far beyond it.
Head coach Will Wade says his team had a big opportunity to beat a top ten team and feels they did enough to win the game but just couldn’t execute down the stretch.
Despite the loss, head coach Ben Howland says he appreciated the hustle and effort and saw a big improvement in the team since the recent loss at Ole Miss.
