Tom Crean has made it clear for some time now: He needs a go-to guy. One who can score at-will, force a key steal or two, or make the tough passes through his opponents’ outstretched arms.
Nobody encapsulated that better Saturday night than standout LSU guard Tremont Waters.
Waters was the No. 19-ranked Tigers’ go-to guy during their 83-79 win over the Bulldogs, but checked out midway through the second half. Georgia, by nature, took the lead and looked in prime position to notch a signature win. Then Waters re-entered the game.
LSU promptly went 4-of-4, pulled off a 12-3 run and iced the game.
