LSU Basketball The LSU Tigers defeated the Georgia Bulldogs by a score of 94-64 on Saturday afternoon at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center. The Tigers finish the regular season with a record of 21-10, 12-6 in conference play. The Senior Class of 2020 was honored prior to the game as Marlon Taylor, Skylar Mays, Marshall Graves and the late Wayde Sims received standing ovations from the crowd of 11,697 at the Maravich Center. Sims was represented by his parents, former LSU basketball player Wayne Sims and his wife Fay. Taylor had a career high of 30 points, hitting 10-of-17 shots including three treys and 7-of-9 at the free throw line.
