How the game was won: LSU (17-10, 7-6 SEC) led the entire game and earned a valuable SEC win after holding off two Georgia (12-15, 3-10) charges in the second half in which the Bulldogs cut the Tigers’ lead to two points, and another that cut it to four in the closing minutes.

Turning point: LSU jumped to a 10-0 lead in the game’s opening minutes and would hold the lead for the rest of the game.

Stat of the game: 23. LSU shot 23 more free throws than Georgia did. The Tigers were 18-for-30 from the foul line, while the Bulldogs were only 5-for-7.

Player of the game: Andre Stringer. The LSU guard scored a game-high 18 points, including a 4-for-9 effort from 3-point range, to lead his team to victory. Stringer and Ralston Turner hit back-to-back 3-pointers in the game’s closing minutes to pace an 8-2 run that put away the win.

What it means: Georgia loses its third consecutive SEC game to fall three games below .500. That makes a postseason trip increasingly unlikely. LSU, meanwhile, is a game above .500 with games against Ole Miss, Auburn and Tennessee remaining, giving the Tigers reason to believe an NCAA tournament is still a strong possibility.

ATHENS, Ga. -- Max Garcia committed to Maryland in December 2009, choosing to play for the Terrapins over Clemson and Vanderbilt.

If he follows through on his announced intention to transfer, Garcia (Norcross, Ga./Norcross) will have his choice of scholarship offers from a group of heavy hitters.

Georgia is among the schools pursuing the sophomore offensive tackle -- who grew up only 50 miles from Athens -- along with SEC rivals Florida, Auburn and Ole Miss.

The offers continue to pour in for offensive lineman Josh Outlaw (Lithonia, Ga./Martin Luther King), and after making a trip to one of the top programs in the Southeast, the 6-foot-4, 275-pound prospect got big news that he had been waiting on.

Last weekend, Outlaw was in Gainesville to check out the University of Florida. The Gators offered him in mid-December, so while on campus he was able to focus on getting to know the coaches vying for his signature. They made sure to let Outlaw know his position was a priority for the 2013 class.

“I enjoyed spending time with the staff at Florida,” Outlaw said. “Coach [Will] Muschamp was very up front with me in letting me know that they need offensive linemen. It seems like with the depth chart right now there is an opportunity to play early there.”

It is that time of the year. Every day this month it seems, another Peach State prospect is emerging with major offers -- and that should come as no surprise. With the number of annual FBS-level signees out of the Peach State inching closer and closer to 200, college coaches are scouring film and highlights in search of the next big talent. This week, one such prospect has surfaced, and the SEC East is all over him.

Defensive end Antonio Riles (Lawrenceville, Ga./Archer) felt he did pretty well as a junior, but as a two-way player the 6-foot-4, 260-pound prospect was not satisfied with his performance on defense. So when his coach talked to him this month, he was surprised to hear the news.

“I was in the middle of offseason workouts and my coach told me I had a Kentucky offer,” Riles said. “I was tired so I did not know what to think about it. Then I got home and told everyone. It was crazy.”
