First Half

LSU sophomore Justice Williams is as smooth of a player as the Tigers have. The youngster is never rattled, always making the right play for this group. 

Adam Miller is 0-for-5 from the field with two points in the first half, but the production from his sidekicks is what has been most impressive. Tigers going deep into their bench as we near the end of the first half.
