Tom Petty once said redemption comes to those who wait. For the LSU men’s basketball team, the time to wait over.
The Tigers return to the hardwood on Friday afternoon in Nashville in the quarterfinals of the SEC Tournament, with redemption serving as an emerging theme.
In losing four of the final six games of the regular season, LSU eliminated any possibility of earning an at-large bid for the NCAA Tournament. As a team that entered the season as a darkhorse national title contender with an incoming recruiting class heralded as arguably the most talented in school history, the Tigers are easily the biggest disappointment in college basketball.
