DATELINE: BATON ROUGE, LA. LENGTH: Short
Burgess scored 20 points and grabbed four rebounds to bring his career total to 1,124 points and 503 rebounds. He is only the fifth Radford player to get 1,000 points and 500 rebounds.
Tyrone Travis scored 18 and Jason Lansdown had 13 for Radford (6-2), which came back strong off a 12-day layoff.
LSU (6-2) was led by Clarence Ceasar with 18 points. Jamie Brandon had 16 and Sean Gipson added 12 for the Tigers.
LSU chipped away at the Radford's 42-35 halftime lead and looked as if it had stolen a victory when Ronnie Henderson buried a 3-pointer from the right corner with 9.2 seconds left to give the hometown Tigers a 72-71 lead.
But Radford took the ball down the floor and got the ball at midcourt to Burgess, who hit the wide-open, game-winning jumper.
"Obviously, if we can go on the road and beat a SEC [Southeastern Conference] team, it's a huge win for our team," said Radford head coach Ron Bradley. "We played an almost perfect first half. [This win] certainly gives us good visibility, but it's a long road ahead of us. It means we can't sneak up on anybody anymore."
Anthony Walker hit two free throws for the Highlanders at 1:14 for a 71-69 lead before Henderson answered with his 3-pointer that gave LSU its 72-71 lead.
