Senior night went as planned.
Senior forward Tasmin Mitchell poured in 20 points in his final contest at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center as LSU powered its way to a 50-48 win against Georgia. The win marks LSU’s second Southeastern Conference victory of the season.
“I’m happy for the seniors and happy to get a win,” said LSU coach Trent Johnson. “Obviously, it was a very emotional night and it was a very emotional week quite frankly.”
Junior guard Bo Spencer scored 10 points, his last two proving to be the game winning points. Spencer drilled a 15-foot jumper with 11 ticks remaining to push LSU’s lead to the final margin.
“I’d like to give thanks to God and Bo Spencer,” Mitchell said.
