Thrill's Three-Balls Throttle Notre Dame

The LSU defense clamped down on Notre Dame tonight, and Will "the Thrill" Howes poured in three three pointers in the first half as LSU beat cross-town rivals Notre Dame, 35-30.

Noah Kleitsch, Jesse Milesnick and Nick Liccardi led a defense that held Notre Dame's star center Andrew Martin to eight points on the night, and held the entire Notre Dame team to 12 points in the second half.

LSU's dynamic duo of Will Howes and Walter Rivas each scored 14 points, but it was Miles Kenny's two clutch buckets in the third quarter that proved crucial.  Miles hit two short jump shots to help hold off a pesky Notre Dame squad.

LSU moves to 5-1 on the season while Notre Dame drops to 2-3.  LSU faces Louisville Saturday morning in Chester.
