Tyrell Ward's last-second shot lifts LSU over No. 17 Kentucky 75-74

Tyrell Ward capped a 17-point performance with a short floater as time expired, and LSU pulled out a second straight comeback victory over a ranked team with a 75-74 victory over No. 17 Kentucky.  Wright and Jalen Reed each scored 13 points for LSU, which erased a 15-point, second half deficit. That was after overcoming a 16-point, second-half hole in a 64-63 victory at then-No. 11 South Carolina on Saturday. Antonio Reeves scored 25 points for Kentucky, which has now stumbled to five losses in its past nine games. Rob Dillingham scored 22 of his 24 points in the second half.
