BATON ROUGE, La – The Texas A&M women's basketball team lost Thursday night's game at No. 7 LSU, 87-70, inside the Pete Maravich Assembly Center.
Â
Endyia Rogers came up just shy of a double-double in her first 20-point effort of the season. Rogers logged 27 points on 11-of-22 shooting from the field and added nine rebounds and five assists to lead the Aggie attack.
Â
Aicha Coulibaly chipped in with 16 points on a 7-off-11 effort from the field. She also hauled in five rebounds and three steals.
Â
Lauren Ware logged 13 points, nine rebounds, two blocks and one steal.
Â
The Aggies owned the edge in points off turnovers (21-15) and points in the paint (40-32), but the Tigers benefitted from a whistle disparity, making 25-of-32 from the charity stripe while the Aggies made just 8-of-12. Texas A&M (13-3, 1-2 SEC) was also doomed by a 44-35 rebounding deficit, including 24-of-16 in the first half, and the just 4-of-22 shooting from 3-point range.
Â
The Aggies kept LSU off the boards for the first 2:49 of the game to jump in front, 4-0. The Tigers responded with a 13-4 run to go up by five at the 4:22 mark. The Aggies briefly reclaimed the lead with back-to-back 3-point field goals by Coulibaly and Rogers, but the Bayou Bengals scored the last nine points of the first period to take a 22-14 into the break.
Â
LSU (16-1, 3-0 SEC) stretched its advantage to 39-27 at the midway point of the second quarter, but the Aggies stayed in the fight thanks to a combined 19 points by Rogers and Ware in the period. Rogers scored 10 in the quarter, including a pair of buckets to trim the deficit to eight points, 41-33 at the 3:31 mark. Ware sank a pair of free throws in the waning moments and Texas A&M trailed 44-37 at halftime.
Â
The Aggies trimmed LSU's edge to 46-41 early in the third quarter on a jumper by Rogers, but the Tigers scored 10 points from the charity stripe in the period to build a 68-49 cushion at the final intermission.
Â
LSU scored the first eight points of the fourth quarter, but Texas A&M responded with a 14-5 run, including nine of Rogers' 12 points in the quarter, to cut the deficit to 80-63 at the 4:05 mark. The Maroon & White would draw no closer the remainder of the contest.
