97 and Counting Over one-third of LSU's basketball seasons have been played in the Maravich Center as men's basketball goes into its 97th season ... LSU's record entering the season is 1,295-984 on court, needing just five wins to become the 55th school in Division I to win 1,300 games in its history.

Game 4 -- West Virginia 84, LSU 69 (11-27-04, Maravich Center) Leading scorers: Tack Minor 17, Brandon Bass 15, Darrel Mitchell 14; Leading rebounder: Brandon Bass 9; Leading Assists: Tack Minor 6 The Tigers' 56-game regular season non-conference home winning streak came to an end with the loss to West Virginia … The Mountaineers shot 60 percent from the field (33-of-55) and made 11 three- pointers to get the win … After trading the lead back and forth, West Virginia took the lead for good at 19-17 with 11:52 to play in the first half and led by as much as 13 in the second half, before LSU rallied to cut it to four with 7:40 left … But the Tigers could get no closer … LSU out rebounded West Virginia, 36-25, shooting 38.6 percent from the floor … LSU's free throw percentage continued to be good, making 16- of-19.

Game 5 -- LSU 83, Northwestern St. 74 (12-11, Maravich Center) Leading scorers: Brandon Bass 22, Darrel Mitchell 20, Tack Minor 12, Antonio Hudson 12, Glen Davis 10; Leading rebounder: Bass 14; Leading Assists: Minor 8 The Tigers continued their win streak against Louisiana schools, extending it to 51 games … The Tigers broke a one-game losing streak with the win that came after a two-week break for dead week and final exams on the campus … LSU jumped out to 5-0 lead and led eight at the intermission after giving up the lead twice in the final 10 minutes of the first half … But the Demons couldn't be put away, cutting the lead to two in the final seven minutes … All five starters were in double figures for the Tigers with Bass getting his first double-double of the year with a career high 14 rebounds … Ross Neltner had a career rebound night (6) and three players equaled or bettered career marks at the free throw line … LSU was out shot from the field, 44.0 to 46.0 percent, but out rebounded the Demons, 40-32 … The Tigers had 19 assists for the 22 made baskets, 86 percent.

Game 6 - LSU 82, McNeese St. 79 (12-13, Maravich Center) Leading scorers: Brandon Bass 27, Glen Davis 15, Antonio Hudson 13; Leading rebounder: Brandon Bass 7, Glen Davis 7; Leading Assists: Xavier Whipple 6 A game of stark contrast as LSU apparently broke the game open, holding McNeese scoreless during the final 3:30 of the first half and the first five minutes of the second half to go from one point down to up 20, 55-35 … LSU would have a 22-point lead, 65-43, with 10:12 to play only to see the whole thing evaporate and McNeese have two three-point attempts in the final 13 seconds to tie … Brandon Bass had the second highest scoring game of the season and his LSU career and while LSU did shot 50 percent from the field, the Tigers were out rebounded, 42-33, and shot from 26 percent (5-19) from the arc … Also after five strong games at the free throw line, the Tigers hit just 57.7 percent (15-26) from the free throw line.

Game 7 - Southern Miss 88, LSU 84 (OT) (12-18, Biloxi, Miss.) Leading scorers: Glen Davis 27, Tack Minor 17, Darrel Mitchell 14, Brandon Bass 13; Leading rebounder: Brandon Bass 11; Leading Assists: Tack Minor 5 For the second straight game, the Tigers were full of ebbs and flows as an offense and a defense against the Golden Eagles, falling behind 16 points in the first half (down 11 at the half) to going up by seven points three times in the final nine minutes, the last at 71-64 with 3:07 to play … But the Tigers were unable to hold the lead, and a Southern Miss bucket with 1.1 to play tied the game at 77-77 forcing overtime … The Tigers made just 2-of-10 shots in OT and lost for the second time this season and for the first time in the Brady era when scoring 80 or more points … LSU shot 50.8 percent from the field, but was out rebounded by the Golden Eagles, 38-33.

Game 8 - Houston 81, LSU 72 (12-21, Houston, Texas) Leading scorers: Brandon Bass 22, Antonio Hudson 20; Leading rebounder: Brandon Bass 15; Leading Assists: Tack Minor 5 Except for an early spurt with the lead, the Tigers were in trouble on a couple of fronts, most notably defensively, giving up at least 79 points for the third straight game … LSU led, 14-7, with six minutes gone in the first half, but the Cougars came back through the rest of a see-saw first half to lead, 37-35, at the intermission … In the second half, the Cougars were able to drive past the LSU defense for easy goals, opening up as much as a 19-point advantage … LSU shot 46.4 percent from the field, but only 23 percent from three-point range … The Tigers were out rebounded, 42-39, but Houston had 17 offensive rebounds … Brandon Bass had his second-straight double-double, including a career high 15 rebounds and a career equaling best six blocks as LSU lost two-straight games against non-SEC teams for the first time in the John Brady era.

Game 9 - LSU 67, Florida State 50 (12-30, New Orleans, La) Leading scorers: Tack Minor 23, Antonio Hudson 18; Leading rebounder: Antonio Hudson 8. Leading Assists: Tack Minor 9 In the Nokia Sugar Bowl Classic, Tigers spurted early in the game and then used a "patient" up-tempo style of play on offense and increased attention to rebounding and defense to give the SEC a sweep of the doubleheader against the ACC … Tigers jumped out to an 18-5 lead in the first five minutes and led by as much as 19, 31-12, in the first half before going to the dressing room up 35-27 … The closest Florida State got was five with 6:26 to play, 49-49, but Antonio Hudson (twice) and Tack Minor hit threes to up the margin back to 58-44 with 4:53 to play … The 23 points was a career high for Minor and Hudson became the 34th LSU player to go over 1,000 career points … Tigers perimeter responded in the wake of foul trouble which saw Brandon Bass foul out and Glen Davis and Ross Neltner play with four fouls each.

Game 10 -- Utah 69, LSU 55 (1-3, Salt Lake City, Utah) Leading scorers: Brandon Bass 17, Tack Minor 12, Antonio Hudson 11; Leading rebounder: Brandon Bass 9; Leading Assists: Darrel Mitchell 4, Tack Minor 4 Tigers were able to stay with the Utes Monday at the Huntsman Center for a half, but the dominance of Andrew Bogut (24-17) proved too much for LSU to overcome in the second half … LSU was forced to shoot 31 threes over the defense of the Utes and made 11 with Brandon Bass making all three -of-his attempts … LSU shot 38 percent for the game (19-50) and 35.5 percent from the three-point arc (11-of-31) … LSU shot over 80 percent again from the line (6-of-7), but for the second straight game didn't get to the line very much … LSU was out rebounded, 39-21 … The Tigers had 13 assists and just six turnovers.

Game 11 -- Alabama 73, LSU 58 (1-8, Tuscaloosa, Ala.) Leading Scorers: Glen Davis 13, Darrel Mitchell & Antonio Hudson 11, Brandon Bass 10; Leading Rebounder: Glen Davis 7; Leading Assists: Tack Minor, Xavier Whipple 5 For the second straight game, the Tigers were able to stay with an opponent for a half before the inability to stop the Tide's run and muster any offense of its own proved too much to overcome. LSU was down one, 35-34, at the half and LSU had a 40-39 lead with 18:21 to play on a Hudson field goal that would be LSU's last until the 7:35 mark which by then Alabama had a 60-45 lead … The Tigers shot 42.6 per- cent from the field (20-47), while Alabama posted a 44.6 field goal percentage (25-56). LSU shot 50 percent from the three-point arc, 8-of-16, compared to 3-of-16 for Alabama … The Tigers were out rebounded, 31-29, and had 18 turnovers compared to nine for Alabama.

Game 12 -- LSU 79, South Carolina 64 (1-12, Baton Rouge, La.) Leading scorers: Glen Davis 28, Darrel Mitchell 18, Brandon Bass 12, Antonio Hudson 11; Leading rebounder: Glen Davis 14; Leading Assist: Tack Minor 6
