Nembhard’s late three sinks top-seeded Tigers, sends Gators to SEC semis

Forward Keyontae Johnson had the ball in the corner with less than 10 seconds to play. The No. 8-seed Gators were tied at 70 with No. 1-seed LSU in the SEC Tournament quarterfinals, and Johnson had a chance to push his team through to the next round.

He pumped, faking out Tigers guard Marlon Taylor, and drove to the basket. Almost immediately, that gap was filled by 6-foot-10 forward Naz Reid.

Thoroughly mismatched, Johnson quickly kicked it out to guard Andrew Nembhard, who popped from three.

The basket sank, along with LSU’s tournament title hopes.
