Skylar Mays' Patience Pays Off in Critical Win over Florida

Skylar Mays pounded the ball into the court four times, just to emphasize the point.

As if his play in the minutes prior didn't make it plenty clear for him. With LSU up four on Florida and five minutes remaining, Mays hit a running layup, a contested three, and snatched a steal – leading to those four emphatic dribbles and, eventually, a Darius Days layup – to spark a 7-0 run and all but cement the Tigers' spot atop the SEC standings.

In LSU's 84-82 win over the Gators Tuesday night, Mays was the best player on the floor for the best team in the conference.
