LSU Holds On for 67-66 Win Over Georgia
Would it be too much to ask for a semi-comfortable win?
The LSU men’s basketball team (15-13, 7-8) once again tried their very hardest to give us all heart attacks as the Tigers survived the Georgia Bulldogs (15-13, 5-10) 67-66 Tuesday night in the PMAC.
Early on it looked like LSU was going to cruise to a victory, as the Tigers led Georgia by 13 at halftime thanks in large part to shooting 7-10 from three. LSU, naturally, cooled off from three in the second half (2-8), and Georgia was able to grab the lead with about five minutes to play in the second half.
Georgia was never able to build a second half lead greater than three points, and a Tyrell Ward fast break layup plus a pair of Will Baker free throws with 15 seconds remaining helped LSU pull off yet another 1-point win.
Jordan Wright led all players with 17 points, and Baker LSU’s second leading scorer with 12. All nine players who took the court for LSU scored.
LSU was 3-4 in SEC play heading into February and against all odds the Tigers went .500 (4-4) in the toughest portion of their schedule. Now LSU closes the regular season against three of the bottom four teams in the conference: at Vanderbilt, at Arkansas, and home against Missouri. A 9-9 SEC record and an NIT bid is absolutely in play for Matt McMahon’s squad.
Maybe things are looking up.

Dell McGee’s defensive staff overhaul as he enters Year 3 atop the Georgia State program is getting its most significant piece of the puzzle, FootballScoop has learned.
McGee is hiring Cam Clark, a senior analyst on Duke coach Manny Diaz’s 2025 Atlantic Coast Conference Champions staff, to run the Georgia State defense, sources tell FootballScoop.
It’s a notable hire for McGee, who is seeking to turn around Georgia State after going just 4-20 in his first two seasons at the helm.
While Clark arrives at Georgia State after assisting the Duke Blue Devils offense, his background is in defensive coaching.
He served two years as defensive coordinator at Football Championship Subdivision program Western Illinois, and he also ran the defense at Lamar University. Additionally, Clark was defensive coordinator at Georgia prep powerhouse Thomas County Central High School.
A former star player at Harding University, Clark obtained his master’s degree from Auburn University, where he served as a graduate assistant.
He has additional Football Bowls Subdivision experience from coaching under both Hugh Freeze and Gus Malzahn while serving on their respective staffs at Arkansas State.
