LSU Tigers Rally to Beat Mississippi State in OT[Video]

What an amazing comeback for the LSU Tigers in round ball action last night against Mississippi State at Maravich Center in Baton Rouge. LSU was down by 17, when they rallied to win 69-67 in overtime.

The biggest difference from this game and the first was the three point shooting. Both teams struggled quite a bit from behind the line, and it might have been the centers that had the best game from out there. Both Renardo Sidney and Justin Hamilton hit clutch 3 pointers in OT.http://www.lsusports.net/

To start the game, LSU wasn't playing at all. But, for some reason, once LSU decided they had enough when they were down 30-17, they made a complete turnaround like flipping the switch on.

From there, the defense shut down Mississippi State, and the Bulldogs went 9 minutes without scoring another point. In fact, over the following 20 minutes after going up by 17, they only managed to score 20 points(LSU scored 35 in that same stretch).

LSU's Storm Warren recorded a double double off the bench. Ralston Turner lead the way with 17 huge points, and of course, Anthony Hickey with the game winning runner and steal in the final seconds. Truth be told, it was the defense of Ralston Turner that really won this game for us, though.

On the defensive end, he was by far the best on ball defender in the game. He was never beaten off the dribble, and at the same time he had 5 crucial rebounds. Hamilton, Warren, and O'Bryant had their hands full with Moultrie and Sidney, so it was absolutely key that Turner get the long rebounds and weak side rebounds. Turner was able to do it while also having a great game on the offensive end.
