Mays' Slam, Bigby-Williams' Energy Spark Tigers
After a 2-of-7 start to the game, a 9-of-25 start to the season, and two days of challenging from his head coach, Skylar Mays had finally had enough.
With LSU and Memphis tied at 29 with just under seven minutes to play in Tuesday night’s matchup, Mays transferred all the frustration of those missed shots and verbal barbs into his left leg, which he planted between the the SEC logo and the restricted arc on the Pete Maravich Assembly Court.
His right leg went into the chest of a Memphis defender, and the rest of his body followed skyward.
When Mays landed, he’d flushed home the dunk of his career and set LSU on its way to a 7-0 run and, eventually, an 85-76 win.
