Quarterman's 21 points lead LSU over UK

A week ago, plenty of people left LSU for dead in regard to its NCAA tournament hopes.

Things look a lot better in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, now.

The Tigers picked up their biggest win of the season on Tuesday night, defeating No. 9 Kentucky, 85-67. Tim Quarterman was the star for LSU, putting up 21 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists. He took over the game early while star Ben Simmons struggled with foul trouble, creating everything for the Tigers and knocking down shots from deep.

Simmons was also impressive late after only scoring two points in nine first-half minutes.
