The LSU men’s basketball team faced real adversity Saturday night and trailed by a season-high 15-points against Georgia Tech in Atlanta’s State Farm Arena.
Maybe one of Will Wade’s previous LSU teams would have wilted under the circumstances: a road game after 10 days off and facing the greatest deficit yet this season. Maybe in prior years, LSU would close the gap on the strength of its offense but the early failings by the Tiger defense made the hole to great to climb out of.
Not this team.
This LSU men’s basketball team (9-0) instead did what they’ve done all season long: put the clamps down defensively and use a legit 9-man rotation to make Georgia Tech tap out.
