In Lexington, Kentucky, fans were going to sleep frustrated and dejected, but in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, the party was just beginning as the Tigers of LSU conquered the No. 17 Wildcats.
Hundreds of fans and students piled onto the court at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center after an improbable sequence of events by the Tigers. A sequence that some — including LSU head coach Matt McMahon — may struggle to believe had they not witnessed it themselves.
“I really don’t have the words to describe it,” McMahon said after the crowd had died down.
