Tyrell Ward saved the day for LSU on Wednesday night.

Ward somehow managed to tip in a buzzer-beater to lift the Tigers to a huge 75-74 win over No. 17 Kentucky just before time expired after Adou Thiero came up with a huge block at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center on Wednesday.

With the Tigers down by a single point in the final seconds, LSU guard Jordan Wright drove to the rim to try and get in a game-winning shot. As he got to the rim, though, Thiero rose up and blocked the shot — which sent the ball right back into Wright’s arms as he started to fall out of bounds.
