LSU was unable to stop Georgia’s inside game throughout the night and the Bulldogs came away with an 81-62 win over the Tigers Wednesday night

LSU basketball opened its game against Georgia by scorching the nets. The Tigers drained nine first-half 3-pointers in Athens, Georgia, exceeding its high of eight in Southeastern Conference play. But their prowess from deep range didn’t keep them from losing 81-62 to Georgia at Stegeman Coliseum on Wednesday.

ATHENS – Georgia basketball picked up a crucial conference win while most of the SEC was asleep Wednesday night. The Bulldogs (16-7, 4-6 SEC) beat LSU 81-62 without the benefit of a full Stegeman Coliseum, likely due to the 9 p.m. weeknight tipoff.
