LSU’s KJ Williams led all scorers Tuesday night in his Tigers’ loss to Kentucky in Rupp Arena. The stretch forward went 8-of-13 from the field and hit four of his six 3-point tries for 23 points, all while battling Oscar Tshiebwe for 36 minutes on Tshiebwe’s home turf.
Tshiebwe was a handful to guard and a bigger handful on the glass with a 19-point, 16-rebound effort against Williams and LSU’s outmanned interior. But for Williams, going at the reigning National Player of the Year in Rupp Arena was an experience he won’t soon forget.
