Commodores Eliminate Tigers

The 2010-2011 season came to an end for the LSU men's basketbal team, on Thursday evening, after the Tigers fell to the Vanderbilt Commodores, 62-50, in the first round of the SEC Tournament. Paul Newberry, of the Associated Press, has the story, courtesy of Yahoo! Sports, below.

Jeffery Taylor scored 21 points and Vanderbilt held on for an ugly 62-50 win over LSU Thursday night in the opening round of the Southeastern Conference tournament, even without the league’s top scorer.

Guard John Jenkins, averaging more than 19 points a game, sat out after tweaking his left foot in the regular-season finale against Florida last weekend. He went through warmups, and school officials said he was available if needed.
