Johnny O’ Bryant Does His J.O.B., Lifts LSU Past Butler In OT

LSU forward Johnny O' Bryant III led the Tigers in scoring with 17 points in his team's thrilling 70-68 victory over the Butler Bulldogs in the Old Spice Classic.

While J.O.B. led the Tigers in scoring, it was Anthony Hickey who stepped up and became a hero for LSU. Hickey made a clutch three pointer with 4.4 seconds remaining to send the game into overtime.

The Tigers were able to comeback from a six point deficit in the final four minutes in  regulation. Now, dating back to the 2011-2012 season, LSU has won four of their last six games that went into overtime.

Ironically, Jarell Martin, Jordan Mickey, Shavon Coleman, and Malik Morgan each finished with 12 points in the contest.

The Tigers are on a two week break, so players can study for their exams. LSU will return to the court on Saturday, December 14 to play the ULM Warhawks.
