Last Sunday, LSU (27-2, 12-2) was on the road looking to score a signature win against a top-five team, Texas, but ended up giving that game away.
What a difference a week can make.
This Sunday, LSU was in a similar situation on the road against a top-15 Kentucky team (21-5, 10-4), only this time around the Tigers got the job done. LSU overcame a 16-point deficit to knock off Kentucky 65-58 and secure a double-bye for next week’s SEC Tournament in Greenville, South Carolina.
The 16-point comeback is the largest deficit LSU’s had all season, and it’s the second time LSU’s overcome a double-digit deficit in the second half.
