Per LSUSports.net: ATLANTA, Georgia – The LSU men’s basketball team ran its record to 9-0 on the season with a dominating second half performance to win going away, 69-53, over Georgia Tech in the opening game of the night session of the Holiday Hoopsgiving at State Farm Arena here Saturday.

LSU used a 14-0 run covering the final 1:40 of the first half and the first 86 seconds of the second half to rally from behind to begin to take control of the game.

Down, 34-30, at the half after being down by as much as 15 points in the opening stanza, the Tigers outscored Georgia Tech, 39-19, in the final 20 minutes. It was the second biggest win for LSU under Coach Will Wade away from the Pete Maravich Assembly Center.

I like underdog. Basketball rankings are meaningless.

Check out this garbage, we are 9-0 and the new rankings have us behind 2 loss Ohio State, 2 loss Michigan State, 2 loss Houston, 2 loss UNC, 2 loss Tennessee, 2 loss Villanova. What a bunch of crap.

Lol somebody doesn't understand the rankings.

CanebreakCajun•42 months

Lol I don’t understand it? LSU is #2 in the net rankings, yet #20 in the ap poll. Explain the discrepancy you idiot.

It was good to see them get down early in the game and just not panic.

Fun stuff. A slew of ranked teams are coming on the schedule. It will be interesting to see how they do.

The game was hardly competitive toward the end. Wouldn’t really call it a rally.

Godfather1•42 months

Outscored Ga Tech 47-17 over the last 21:44 of the game. That’s amazing. This team looks like it may be better than the 1981 Final Four team.

Poboytom•42 months

Omg you crazy not even close to that team how do you figure that

CrystalPreserves•42 months

Um, the 9-0 start is probably factoring in to the the comparisons. This team is good enough to make a run. Just gotta get hot at the right time and have some bounces go our way.

We had 7 points on the board with a little over 7 minutes left in the first half and stormed back. Great job Tigers!

Shoot below 40%, and you still dominate the 2nd half. If this team shoots anywhere close to 50%, they will be extremely hard to beat.

I don't want to let myself get too excited, but . . . I'm freaking excited.
