From the onset, the LSU Tigers established control of the game with a solid first-quarter lead of 20-15. Their momentum only increased as they outscored Middle Tennessee in every quarter, culminating in an overwhelming third-quarter performance where they netted 27 points to Middle Tennessee's 13. This surge effectively sealed the fate of the match as they headed into the final quarter with confidence and a commanding lead.

Despite attempting more three-pointers than two-point shots, they were only able to convert eight out of thirty-one attempts from beyond the arc – resulting in a mere three-point percentage of just over one-fourth success rate.
A key factor contributing to LSU’s victory was their ability to capitalize on turnovers; scoring an outstanding total of twenty-two points off turnovers while maintaining better ball control themselves with only seven turnovers for the entire game.
