SEC responds to LSU ref controversy

The LSU Tigers beat the Tennessee Volunteers on Saturday 82-80 in overtime. But nowadays, it seems no win in the SEC goes without some sort of controversy.

After a no-call on a clear offensive interference led to a buzzer-beater victory for the Tigers over Kentucky, they followed it up with another controversial win.

This time, the Tigers and Vols were tied 80-80 and UT missed a long three-point attempt with less than five seconds to play. LSU’s Javonte Smart grabbed the defensive rebound, but while doing so, Grant Williams was unable to slow his momentum and ended up fouling Smart with less than a second remaining.
