TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - LSU men's basketball had a few more bodies on the roster at its disposal compared to the Tigers' first two exhibitions, with Skyy Clark, Brice Dessert, and Saliou Niang all available for the first time, but Will Wade's bunch took a close 89-87 loss to Florida State to close out its preseason slate.

LSU had an inbound play with a shot to tie or win the game, but Donovan Dent committed a turnover on the inbound pass, and the Seminoles were able to seal the win.

Dent led the Tigers in points with 24 and also led the team in assists with nine. 

In their first action in LSU uniforms, Clark, Dessert and Niang combined for 30 points, with Clark scoring 21.

The Tigers finish their exhibition slate 2-1 and now move on to regular season basketball. LSU faces LSU New Orleans on Tuesday, Nov. 3, at the Maravich Center.
