Texas A&M stumbles to 4th straight loss, 76-71 at LSU

LSU and Texas A&M were both in need of the win, with LSU's nine losses placing them in danger of missing out on an invitation to next month's coveted 68-team NCAA tournament.

To open the game, the Tigers had the 14-6 lead and opened the game 5-of-9 from the field. Keith Hornsby is averaging 13.5 points, Craig Victor II is averaging 12.3 points and 6.2 rebounds, and Tim Quarterman is averaging 11.3 points.

"When you're this deep in the season you've already got a feel for your team and how they're going to manage a lot of different things", Martin said.

Why not? With a senior-laden team and six wins to start league play, you had to wonder who was going to take down Billy Kennedy's team, which four nights later improved to 7-0 when it blasted Missouri. The Cats will play each of the other 5 teams, and will travel to South Carolina, Texas A&M, Vanderbilt, and Florida over these last seven games.

However, the Aggies chipped their way back into the game and, with the score tied at 22, went on a 7-0 run of their own to take a 29-22 lead. Sindarius Thornwell (13.2 points) also has had a hot hand lately, averaging 19.2 points and 6.6 rebounds over his last five games. Quarterman made two free throws and House missed a 3-point attempt, virtually sealing the result.

LSU is 3-7 against the spread in their last 10 games, 2-7 against the spread against the SEC, and 1-5 against the spread following a game that they covered the point spread. Jones has failed to establish a reliable rotation, which has had adverse effects on the players (especially Sampson whose confidence seems shot.) Additionally, poor free-throw shooting continues to hurt Tigers, missing the front end of 1 and 1s and key freebies throughout the first half.

Syracuse University professors instrumental in proving correct Einstein's general theory of relativity
As I predict on fundamental grounds, intermediate black holes such as these may be the universe's missing dark matter. He published his special theory of relativity in 1905, changing the way scientists understood space and time.

The Aggies shot 55 percent from the floor but just 35 percent (7-for-20) from three-point range. Simmons then spotted Hornsby for a 3, which cut A&M's lead to 37-33 at halftime.

"We've just got to go back to the drawing board and find ways to win on the road", said House, whose Aggies have lost their last four away from College Station, Texas.

This is the second game of the season between these two teams, with the Aggies winning the first matchup 71-57. Caruso, the NCAA's active leader in steals, had three to increase his career total to 257.... It was LSU's fourth loss in five meetings with Texas A&M. Even when he does it sometimes still isn't enough, as we saw in the game against SC.

ABOUT KENTUCKY (18-6, 8-3 SEC): Calipari says the Wildcats still are learning how to close out games, which should become easier with their youthful backcourt maturing as the season progresses. With the National Basketball Association in its All-Star break, at least three current pros who played for LSU - Houston's Marcus Thornton, Washington's Garrett Temple and Memphis' Jarrell Martin - attended the game.

The Wildcats have been outstanding at home but beatable on the road, with losses at UCLA, LSU, Auburn (as a double-digit favorite, no less), Kansas and most recently, Tennessee.
