The SEC Tournament second round has been set, with No. 3 seed Kentucky now one step closer to finding out its matchup in the quarterfinals.
In a head-to-head battle between the No. 11 Georgia Bulldogs and No. 14 LSU Tigers in the late game inside Bridgestone Arena, it was the latter who pulled off the win to advance — but it didn’t come easy. A 2.5-point favorite entering the matchup, the higher-seeded LSU found itself up double digits for the majority of the game before having to squeak out the 72-67 win down the stretch, albeit shooting just 36.
