SEC CHAMPS!!!!!!

Just when you thought LSU is due for a loss, they come back and prove you wrong!!  LSU showed some major resiliency in their 73-70 win at Kentucky.  It was the first time LSU has won at Kentucky since 1989, I was nine years old by the way.  It’s been showcased for the last 4 days, Thorton vs. Meeks!!  Both stars came to play today, with Thorton’s team coming out on top.  Marcus Thorton was 3 for 14 in the first half, but came through in the clutch when LSU needed him.  Down by 10 with about 10 minutes left in the game, Thorton carried LSU all the way back and hit some big time shots to help lift the Tigers (25-4, 13-1) to an SEC Championship.

After coming off an impressive game against Florida and having a career high in points, Garrett Temple had an off night scoring only 1 point in 25 minutes.  Chris Johnson was battling the flu and scored only 2 points.  Terry Martin had 8 off the bench for the Tigers.  Tasmin Mitchell had a red hot first half finishing the game with 21 points and 8 rebounds including the game winning three.  Bo Spencer hit the game tying three for the Tigers with less than a minute left and finished with 16.  Marcus Thorton was the CBS player of the game finishing with 23 points and 9 rebounds.  Meeks did outscore Thorton by one points, but Thorton’s team got the “W.”  LSU has 2 remaining games left on the schedule, one at home versus Vandy, and one on the road against Auburn before they take their number 1 seed to Tampa for the SEC tournament.
