A tenth of a second proved to be the difference between the Gators and LSU on Tuesday.

Down 11 with 3:24 to go on the road against the current conference leader appeared to be a death sentence.

But somehow, the Gators trailed by just two with half of a second left in the game. Guard Andrew Nembhard inbounded the ball to forward Keyontae Johnson, who appeared to score a layup to beat the buzzer, tie the game and send it to overtime.

But upon further review, the ball was still on Johnson’s fingertips when the clock expired, giving the Tigers the 84-82 win.
