Kailyn Gilbert — the transfer guard whose circus hook shot with a second remaining lifted the LSU women’s basketball team to a thrilling win over No. 16 Tennessee on Thursday — isn't only winning games for the unbeaten Tigers. She’s also helping their bench contribute more than it ever has under coach Kim Mulkey.

To score those points against the Cardinal, Gilbert muscled a layup through a taller defender. She corralled a loose ball and hit a free throw line pull-up in transition. She also canned a step-back jumper at the elbow and drove to her left, accelerating past one defender and scooping a layup under another.

Kailyn Gilbert made a layup with 1 second left to give No. 6 LSU an 89-87 victory over No. 16 Tennessee on Thursday night. Tennessee's Zee Spearman had a good look but missed a short jumper that would have sent the game to overtime.
