Hunter has played second fiddle to Izaiah Brockington for much of the 2021-22 season, but Friday night was his night. He led the team with 23 points from the field to go with five steals, three assists and three rebounds.

He shot 8 of 13 from the field, and he was a sharpshooter from downtown, finishing 7 of 11 from the three-point line. Ultimately, LSU just didn’t have anyone that could match up against him in the backcourt.
