In a game that was all about rewriting the wrongs from the previous loss, LSU lost in the final seconds on the road to Georgia 68-66 Wednesday night at Stegeman Coliseum in Athens, Ga.
Georgia (14-5, 4-2 SEC) has now won 11 of its last 14 games and is off to its best start since the 2010-11 basketball season. LSU (11-8, 3-3 SEC) has lost its second straight game and it’s also the fourth time this year that the Tigers have lost by five points or less.
Despite being down 65-57 with 2:56 left in the game, the Tigers roared back and went on a 9-0 run to take the lead 66-65 after LSU guard Jalen Cook made the go-ahead and one layup with 16 seconds remaining in the game.
