Cats Grind Out 60-51 Win Over LSU in SECT Quarters
Michael Kidd-Gilchrest scored 19 points and No. 1 Kentucky survived a feisty effort by heavy underdog LSU to take a 60-51 victory Friday in the second round of the Southeastern Conference tournament. Terrence Jones added 15 points and 11 rebounds, including a 9-0 run by himself that gave the Wildcats (31-1) the lead for good as they extended their winning streak to 23 games. Anthony Davis added 12 points and 14 rebounds after a slow start, and Doron Lamb scored 12. Storm Warren scored 14 for LSU (18-14), which came in as a 17-point underdog after beating Arkansas in Thursday's opening round. The Tigers led by as much as five points early in the second half before Jones' surge turned the tide.
