LSU Roars Back to Life in Crazy Comeback Win - What Happens Next May Shock Tigers Fans!

LSU is back home after an eventful appearance in the Greenbrier Tip-Off last weekend in West Virginia. The Tigers (5-1) suffered their loss of the season, falling to Pitt 74-63 in the first round last Friday, then overcame a 20-point deficit in the second half to defeat Western Michigan 66-65 and secure a third-place finish in the tournament.

Now the Tigers return to the Pete Maravich Assembly Center, where they will play host to Northwestern State on Saturday in their first home game in 13 days. LSU head coach Matt McMahon believes the trip to the Greenbrier Tip-Off helped the team.

"I think it was a great bonding experience for our team and helped us grow closer together," McMahon said.

Although LSU lost to Pitt last Friday, they looked impressive, especially in the first half when they led 35-31. However, Pitt pulled away in the second half to win 74-63.

Despite the loss, the game against Western Michigan was the highlight of the tournament for the Tigers. Down by 20 points in the second half, LSU mounted a huge comeback to win 66-65. This comeback showcased the team's mental toughness and ability to remain focused under pressure.

As LSU looks to build upon their third-place finish at the Greenbrier Tip-Off, they now turn their attention to Northwestern State. The Demons enter this matchup with a 3-3 record, including a win over LA-Monroe.

Northwestern State has a well-rounded offense with three players averaging double-digit points. LA-Monroe transfer DeMarcus Sharp leads the team with an average of 15.7 points and 7.3 rebounds per game.

For LSU to secure a win on Saturday, they must limit Sharp's impact and hold their own on the glass. Northwestern State has struggled to defend the three, so LSU may be able to use their three-point shooting as a way to build an early lead.

With the game being played at home, LSU should have the advantage. They have a strong and supportive fan base who always provide energy for their team. A win against Northwestern State would help to maintain momentum and keep the Tigers on track for a successful season.
