In the second half of Saturday's game against Arkansas, LSU basketball's Trae Hannibal had one of the season's top hustle plays.

The fifth-year senior guard stole the ball from a Razorback, passed it to teammate Jordan Wright, who gave it back to Hannibal for a monster dunk.

Hannibal received the start on Saturday, his first of the season. He's in his second season with the Tigers following his previous stints at both South Carolina and Murray State, playing for LSU coach Matt McMahon for both the Racers and the Tigers. Entering Saturday, he averaged five points per game.
