Justice Hill is set to return to the court Saturday for LSU against Texas Tech in the SEC/Big 12 challenge. The former Murray State guard had missed the past 2 weeks with a personal issue.
Hill played just 18 minutes in his last outing with the Tigers, scoring 3 points in a 40-point loss to Alabama on Jan 14.
Hill is a good scorer for the Tigers, adding 2 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game across his 17 appearances this year. He’s one of 3 Murray State transfers on the team, joining KJ Williams and Trae Hannibal.
The Tigers play a crucial role in winning the SEC the challenge for the 2nd straight season. LSU and Texas Tech has both struggled mightily in their respective conference schedules. Neither has won a game in the month of January.
LSU hosts the Red Raiders at 2 p.m. EST on ESPNU.
