Brown put-back puts Louisiana back ahead, but Odigie answers with a layup

SMU 7, Louisiana 6

Interesting: Through the first 4 games, Odigie has spent almost all of his time on the offensive end in the low post. Through the first 4+ minutes, he has camped out at the top of the 3-point line on several possessions. Not doing any extensive ball-handling, but dribbling in place while the four perimeter players do a weave around him. Maybe it's just a momentary look, but it is definitely a different look. Worth watching to see if it continues.
