First Half


The first half set the tone for what would be an overwhelming performance by LSU. The Tigers stormed out of the gates with an offensive onslaught, amassing 50 points before halftime. Their shooting accuracy was remarkable, hitting 69 percent from the field and dominating inside with 54 points in the paint throughout the game. Jalen Reece played a pivotal role early on, orchestrating plays and contributing significantly to LSU's offensive rhythm.


On defense, LSU was equally formidable. They limited DePaul to just 22 points in the first half through aggressive rebounding and tight perimeter defense that stifled any attempts by DePaul to gain momentum.


Second Half


As play resumed after halftime at Raider Arena, LSU continued their relentless pursuit of victory. Marquel Sutton emerged as a key figure in maintaining pressure on both ends of the court. His efforts were complemented by Rashad King’s sharp shooting from beyond the arc.


DePaul attempted a comeback with improved scoring efficiency in this period but struggled against LSU's well-coordinated defensive schemes that resulted in seven steals and four blocks overall for Geaux Tigers.


Despite some spirited efforts from DePaul’s bench players who contributed heavily to their total score of 63 points – including notable performances during fast breaks – it wasn't enough against an LSU team firing on all cylinders.
