LSU might have saved its season Tuesday night.
Maybe that’s a bit premature, but if LSU had blown a 17-point lead to a middling at best Texas A&M team and missed out on the NCAA Tournament we’d point to that game and say “yep that’s the one.”
And for a while there they did in fact blow it, but some unexpected great defense late saved the day and the Tigers are about to enter a critical month of February.
17: The first half margin that LSU blew
Incredibly frustrating. Usually with basketball a 17-point lead is whittled away to three or four points, but LSU gave the whole thing away and got down six points to boot.
