“We scored enough points, we did pretty good offensively-just didn’t get the stops that we needed in the second half. That really kind of set the tone for the night,” Stackhouse said. “Our lack of toughness on the boards-I thought we played pretty good defense early on, but we allowed them to get nine offensive rebounds early in that first half. That was the score going into the locker room Vanderbilt shot just 31 percent from the floor, and six of its 10 made field goals were from 3. The Commodores would inch to 29-26 and then to 36-32, but KJ Williams hit a 3 with less than 40 seconds to play and extended the margin back out to 39-32. That allowed LSU to build a 28-18 lead before Thomas made a 3 with 6:06 left in the period. Vandy would go nearly six minutes without scoring and miss 10 straight shots. The Tigers were able to seize the lead with a 6-0 spurt that put them ahead 21-18 with 8:45 to play in the half.

That makes Wednesday’s result all that much more tough to swallow, as did watching some brilliant individual performances come in a loss. But the Dores will likely have to win the SEC Tournament next month at Bridgestone Arena to make that a reality. It’s disappointing, but it’s not the end of the world.”Ī string of recent wins had Vandy (15-13, 8-7 SEC) starting to register on the radar of being considered an NCAA Tournament team-and that possibility is certainly not dead. This one hurts against a team that’s been struggling mightily-for them to find a way to get right against us. Still plenty of basketball left for us, but obviously disappointed to lose this one tonight. “Hopefully when we get to the SEC Tournament, we can have a good run there.
