ATHENS, Ga. (AP) -Levi Stukes's 3-pointer with 0.6 seconds left gave Georgia a 57-54 win over No. 21 Louisiana State on Sunday.

It was Stukes' fourth 3-pointer of the game and was one of eight second-half 3s by the Bulldogs (13-6, 5-2 Southeastern Conference). He finished with 16 points.

Glenn Davis had 18 points, 14 rebounds and a career-high six assists for LSU (13-7, 2-4). Terry Martin added 16 points.

Takais Brown had 15 points and 10 rebounds for Georgia, which has won five of its last six games.

Georgia called timeout with 27 seconds left and spread the floor, allowing point guard Sundiata Gaines to work the clock before passing to Stukes for the game-winner.

LSU coach John Brady tweaked his offense following consecutive losses to Arkansas and Vanderbilt, spreading the floor in an attempt to open more room in the middle for Davis, the 295-pound power forward.

LSU, which missed 23 of its first 26 shots in the home loss to Vanderbilt on Wednesday night, enjoyed a hot start against Georgia. The Tigers, led by Davis inside and Martin's 3-point shooting, led 13-2 and 19-7.

When Georgia's defense attempted to collapse on Davis, the junior was effective setting up baskets for teammates.

Georgia took a 43-41 lead on a 3-pointer by Billy Humphrey. LSU answered with eight straight points, including two baskets by Davis, to lead 49-43.

The Bulldogs did not have a two-point field goal in the second half until a follow-up jam by Mike Mercer tied the game at 54-54 with 2:25 left to play.
