   BATON ROUGE, LA - LSU (6-1) survived another close contest on Sunday as they were able to come from behind late to defeat the Wofford Terriers (4-3), 78-75 in the Pete Maravich Assembly Center.

   The Tigers found themselves down by five with only 3:40 left in the game, before Trae Hannibal and Adam Miller both stepped up to lead a 10-2 run to clinch the victory. 

   Miller lead the Tigers with 26 points. KJ Williams added 15 points, while Trae Hannibal finished with 12, scoring six of those in the final four minutes of the contest to spearhead the comeback. 

​   LSU continued to struggle with inconsistency in their play early in the season as Wofford was able to keep things close all day long. 

   The Terriers lead the Bayou Bengals 33-30 late in the first half on the strength of their outside shooting, (sinking six 3-point shots).
   But the Tigers were able to go on a 7-0 run over the final two minutes of the period to hold a 37-33 lead at the break.  

   LSU began the second half with a Mwani Wilkinson three pointer to extend their lead to seven, but the Terriers responded, storming back and giving the Tigers all they could handle. 

   Over the final 17 minutes of the contest there were 12 lead changes as LSU simply couldn't shake and pull away from a very pesky Wofford team. 

   Up next LSU will host UT Arlington on Friday, December 2nd in the Pete Maravich Assembly Center. Tipoff is set for 7:00pm CST.
