ALBANY, N.Y. -- With 6 seconds left and the game finally in hand following a wild fourth quarter, LSU guard Flau'Jae Johnson looked to the LSU crowd and gave a thumbs-up. Only a few seconds later, a 78-69 Sweet 16 victory over UCLA secure, she looked at the UCLA bench and its crowd, too, gesturing that this day belonged to her Tigers.

Only a few minutes earlier, it certainly did not feel that way. UCLA held a three-point lead with 2:46 left, having erased a 10-point deficit.
