AUBURN - The LSU basketball team lost their first game of the season at Auburn 70-55. The Tigers couldn't overcome an 18-1 run to start the game from Auburn.

LSU missed their first 16 shots and didn't hit a field goal until 9:14 left in the first half. The Tigers only shot 29 percent from the floor and went 6-29 from behind the arc.

Auburn was led by forward Walker Kessler, who had 16 points, nine rebounds and 11 blocks. As a team, Auburn had 14 blocks—compared to only two by LSU.
