As a team, the Spartans are 25-over-par 593 (289-304) among a competitive group of 15 teams, putting them just five strokes behind fifth-place LSU. Tennessee, which won last year's tournament, is in the lead at 7-over-par 575 (293-282).
Piot's opening round 2-under-par 69 tied for the second-lowest score of the day. He was 2-over-par through four holes and then didn't record a bogey the rest of the way, carding four birdies and 10 pars. The junior shot a 2-over-par 73 in round two.
Freshman Bradley Smithson shot a pair of 3-over-par 74s as his 6-over-par 148 puts him in a tie for 29th place.
Troy Taylor II had one of the best opening rounds in the field with a 1-under-par 70. He shot a 9-over-par 80 in round two and is tied for 34th at 8-over-par 150.
Zach Rosendale (81-77) and Andrew Walker (76-82) are tied for 75th place at 16-over-par 158.
Piot is one of five players tied for third place. He'll enter Tuesday's final round two shots back of the leader, Auburn's Andrew Kozan, who's 2-under-par 140 (68-72).
The third round of the tournament is schedule to get underway on Tuesday at 8:30 a.m. with players teeing off from the first and 10th tees. ESPN3 will carry a live stream of the event beginning at noon.
