| Hightower’s 31 and Graham’s triple-double come in losing effort
Tiger Rag News Services
LSU’s Katherine Graham became just the second player in school history to record a triple-double, joining Cornelia Gayden who had two in 1995; last Feb. 7, 1995 (32 pts, 15 rebounds, 10 steals vs. UL-Lafayette).
Graham’s triple-double was the first by an LSU player in an SEC game in school history.
Allison Hightower scored a game-high 31 points despite missing the final eight minutes (the 3rd OT) due to cramping.
It was the second triple overtime game in school history. Last: Feb. 15, 2003: LSU 98, Santa Barbara 90
It was the third-highest combined scoring game in school history. Highest scoring game since Feb. 10, 1991: Georgia 108, LSU 102 (2OT in Baton Rouge). It was also the second highest scoring game in the history of the Maravich Center.
LSU’s 31 made free throws tied a school record.
Has any LSU basketball team ever gone WINLESS in SEC games in a season? Can you say 0-16 for this LSU squad? No longer do I think the Tigers will win a game (heaven forbid!). Now I consider it a win if they crack 50 points for an entire game. LSU has no inside game and cannot shoot from the outside either. Let’s just forget 2009-10 and move on to baseball. Geaux, Diamond Tigers!
