The Tigers went 1-1 on the weekend and are now 5-1 on the year, coming home to play Northwestern State on Friday night at the Maravich Center. UCF fell to 4-2. LSU was struggling to find any shooting touch both inside and outside in the first 18 minutes, missing 10 layups and only shooting 25 percent from the field. The Tigers bolted out to a 7-0 lead, but were outscored over the next 16 minutes, 38-11, to find themselves in the 20-point hole. LSU did cut the lead to 15, 40-25, at the intermission. UCF got the lead back to 18, 52-34, with 12:57 to play. Slowly, the Tigers, behind the play of Jalen Reed and Jordan Sears, started to work LSU back into the game. LSU trailed by 14 with 8:31 to play before Sears hit three consecutive three-pointers that would cut the UCF lead to 64-59 with six minutes to play. UCF busted it back out to eight points, 68-60, with 4:49 to go before Reed got back-to-back layups to make it 68-64 with 2:54 to play. UCF scored its final points of regulation on a layup with 2:27 left that made it 70-64. Corey Chest got a dunk to cut the margin to 70-66 and after an empty UCF possession, Cam Carter’s jumper made it 70-68 with 1:09 to play. UCF missed a three-pointer and got the offensive rebound, but turned it over. Carter was fouled with 22 seconds to play and made both free throws to tie the game at 70-70, and the Knights missed a shot at the end of regulation to send the game to overtime. In the first overtime, LSU led by as much as four points twice before Keyshawn Hall made two free throws with six seconds left to tie the game at 82-82 and force a second five-minute period. The teams traded three-pointers twice in the second overtime before Sears got a driving layup and drew a foul that resulted in a three-point play to give LSU a 91-88 lead with 1:50 to play in the second overtime. The Knights would tie it with less than a minute left before LSU’s Dji Bailey’s layup gave LSU a 93-91 advantage with 35 seconds left. Hall got the tying bucket again with a layup with 21 seconds to play, and the teams were headed to triple overtime. It would be the second triple overtime of the year in Division I basketball and the first for LSU since the Tigers defeated Alabama 97-94 in three overtimes in 2013 in Baton Rouge. LSU never trailed in what would be the final five minutes after Carter scored on a second-chance field goal 1:08 into the period. LSU twice led by five in the first four minutes of the overtime and continued to hold UCF at bay to pull off the comeback victory. Sears, who had six three-pointers, finished with 25 points, nine rebounds, and three assists. Reed had a double-double of 21 points, 13 rebounds, and four assists, with Cam Carter getting 20 points. Vyctorius Miller had 20 points off the bench, and Dji Bailey had 14 points and six assists. Darius Johnson led UCF with 25 points, Hall had 21, Jordan Ivy-Curry, who got hot in overtime, had 20 points. Rokas Jocius added 10. LSU outrebounded UCF, 50-42, and had 50 points in the paint. The Tigers, after shooting 25 percent in the first half, shot 50 percent in the second half and 57.7 percent in overtime. For the game, LSU was 38-of-88 for 43.2 percent, and LSU made 12-of-36 three-pointers. UCF shot 40.7 percent (37-of-91) with 10 three-pointers. The Knights shot 34 percent in the 15 overtime minutes.
