Ebbs and flows are what make basketball unique in sports. Doesn't really work to get comfortable or sit still if you're the team with the upper hand.
When LSU took on No. 1-ranked Oklahoma on Saturday, the Tigers rode a wave of big ebbs to a 14-point second-half lead.
Then the flow came, mostly in the form of Buddy Hield's deadly 3-point shooting touch.
Ignited by Hield's 7 second-half 3-pointers, the Sooners climbed out of that 14-point hole and then got a huge pair of buckets from one of their other seniors, Isaiah Cousins, to eke out a 77-75 victory at the PMAC.
