LSU’s game-winning buzzer-beater against Kentucky is one of the coldest shots we’ve seen this season

LSU’s buzzer-beater against Kentucky was so improbable that the team couldn’t believe it actually went in.

The Kentucky men’s basketball team blew a 15-point lead against unranked LSU, and that wasn’t the most incredible part of their loss. The last 20 seconds of their matchup will blow your mind.

Maybe Angel Reese was on to something when she tweeted that she wanted fans to pack LSU’s arena to take on No. 17-ranked Kentucky. But I’m not sure she could have predicted the ending of Wednesday’s game. After LSU erased a huge 15-point deficit to lead by one point with 20 seconds remaining, the next sequences don’t even seem real.

Here’s how it went:

  • Kentucky inbounds and finds Rob Dillingham to hit a jumper. Kentucky has a 74-73 lead with 11 seconds left.
  • LSU doesn’t take a timeout, and the clock is running.
  • At 5 seconds left, Jordan Wright moves the ball down the court.
  • Wright runs into three blue jerseys, and his shot is blocked.
  • Wright gets it back and throws it to Tyrell Ward.
  • Ward heaves it up with 1.2 seconds left. SWISH.
  • GAME. OVER.

What a world. This is college basketball at its finest.

Everything Nate Oats said following Alabama’s 109-92 win at LSU

What Nate Oats said about Alabama’s road win over LSU

In an offensive clinic, [autotag]Nate Oats[/autotag] and the Alabama Crimson Tide men’s basketball team took down the LSU Tigers on the road in Baton Rouge, 109-92.

With the win, Alabama moves to 17-7 on the season and 9-2 in the SEC, good enough for the top spot in the conference as the Crimson Tide holds the tie-breaker with South Carolina who also has a 9-2 record in league play.

While Coach Oats isn’t necessarily pleased with the defensive performance, anytime you can put together a road win, you will take it.

Following the win Coach Oats met with the media and had the following to say about his team.

BOX SCORE BREAKDOWN: Alabama basketball stat leaders from 109-92 road win at LSU

A look at the Alabama stat leaders from the 109-92 win over LSU in Baton Rouge

After suffering its second loss of the SEC schedule on Wednesday night, [autotag]Nate Oats[/autotag] and the Alabama Crimson Tide men’s basketball team once again hit the road on Saturday to take on the LSU Tigers.

It was much of the same for the Tide on Saturday morning as the Alabama offense poured in 109 points but the defense was still a major question mark as the Tide allowed 92 points to the Tigers.

Alabama had five players score in double digits against LSU, led by senior guard Mark Sears who totaled 23 points. Nick Pringle put together his best performance of season, dropping 17 points off of the bench.

Below is a breakdown of the Alabama box score:

Alabama takes down LSU 109-92

Alabama basketball earns an impressive bounce-back win on the road over LSU.

After a rough road loss to Auburn, Alabama bounces back with a win over LSU in Baton Rouge. The final score was 109-92, but it does not tell the full story.

The first half was relatively close, with over a dozen lead changes before the teams came back out for the second 20 minutes. The Crimson Tide pulled away in the second half, leading by as many as 11, but the Tigers came back.

After a brief time with the lead, LSU lost it and the wheels fell off.

The Tide had five players score 15 or more points, with Mark Sears scoring 23 and Latrell Wrightsell scoring 21.

Alabama now has a record 9-2 in the SEC and 17-7 overall. The team’s next game will be against Texas A&M at home.

Alabama at LSU: Stream, injury report, broadcast info for Saturday’s game

Where will you be watching from?

[autotag]Nate Oats[/autotag] and the Alabama Crimson Tide men’s basketball team will look to get back in the win column on Saturday when they travel to Baton Rouge to take on Matt McMahon and the LSU Tigers.

Alabama is currently in a logjam at the top of the SEC standings and securing a road victory over the Tigers would be a big step in the right direction for potentially retaking the conference lead.

Winning on the road is never easy and Coach Oats has challenged his team to be better defensively, including his star player, Mark Sears.

“And honestly, we need Mark to play better defense. Like we’re not going to be able to win at the level we’re used to winning at around here if he’s not better for us on defense. But we do need some guys to step up and help him out on offense a little bit more.”

Alabama routs LSU 109-88, improves to 6-1 in SEC play

Alabama basketball dominates LSU on Saturday night!

All five of Alabama’s starters scored in double figures on the night with senior guard Mark Sears leading the way with 21.

How to watch Saturday night’s SEC matchup between Alabama and LSU

[autotag]Nate Oats[/autotag] and the Alabama men’s basketball team are coming off an emotionally hard-fought victory over Auburn on Wednesday night and will now have to quickly shift their focus to the LSU Tigers on Saturday night.

For Coach Oats and Alabama, it is an opportunity to remain atop the SEC standings and continue its push for yet another SEC regular season title.

On Thursday, Coach Oats previewed the matchup with LSU, what he is hoping to see from his team on Saturday, and what it will take to compete for an SEC championship.

“If we’re going to try to compete for the league championship, you’ve got to win home games,” Oats said. “Our guys can’t be up and down. We can’t play really hard against Auburn because it’s a rivalry game and then not play as hard because we got that win.

“We’ve got to fight complacency in that regard because we haven’t proved that we can do it consistently, two halves, over a long stretch, which is what it’s going to take to win the league.”
