BATON ROUGE, La. – Tyrell Ward beats the buzzer for a last-second tip-in to give LSU (14-12, 6-7 SEC) a 75-74 win over No. 17 Kentucky (18-8, 8-5 SEC) Wednesday night at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center for its second consecutive top-20 victory and its third against a nationally ranked opponent this season.
For the fifth time over a seven-game span, and for the third consecutive game, the Tigers rallied back from a double-digit second-half deficit as they trailed the Wildcats by as many as 15 points before the Fighting Tigers stormed back and took a 48-46 lead with 13:15 left to play.
Ward set a career-high for the second consecutive game, scoring a team-high 17 points, shooting 5-of-10 from the field, and knocking down three triples. Jalen Reed and Jordaan Wright followed with 13 points each.
