Trailing Arkansas by 18 in the second half on Saturday, LSU performed its high wire comeback act yet again.
This time, however, the tightrope gave way.
A week after roaring back from 14 down with two minutes left to knock off Missouri on the road, the Tigers pressed, rebounded, and clawed their way back from a 66-48 hole with 13:45 to take a one-point lead with less than a minute to go. Their efforts brought a sellout crowd of 13,311 to their feet, as LSU appeared to have, once again, overcome a wobbly start with a late rally.
