LSU freshman Curtis Givens III was responsible for the final stop. He did as well as you can defending full court against Oklahoma's Jeremiah Fears without fouling. Also, nice last rebound by freshman Vyctorius Miller

This stood out on my re-watch of LSU vs Georiga. Senior Cam Carter flies across the court and an awesome elevator screen frees him up. Freshman Curtis Givens III passes it way too late and the advantage is gone. Some visible frustration from coach Matt McMahon and Carter

LSU's defense has been bad the last 2 games. Possessions like these illustrate how. 1) Cam Carter defends drive well 2) Daimion Collins overhelps and leaps for block 3) Corey Chest (in no man's land) watches ball handler instead of covering the big Collins leaves open

LSU basketball coach Matt McMahon made multiple adjustments in the team's 81-62 loss to Georgia. Find out what changes he made and why they didn't work www.nola.com/sports/lsu/l...

About 5 mins away from LSU (12-9, 1-7 SEC) vs Georgia (15-7, 3-6) A few keys for the Tigers 1) As always, limiting turnovers 2) As always, cleaning the defensive glass 3) Get immediate scoring opportunities after stops Georgia is 21st in defensive efficiency on Kenpom
