Sigh.
I can’t think of a better, more original opening than that. Let’s revisit LSU’s truly epic collapse from Saturday.
12-0: Texas Tech’s scoring run with less than a minute to play
Starting anywhere else would be foolish. LSU, at home, had a top-10 team on the ropes with 59 seconds left to play and choked away what would have been by far its best win of the season.
I wrote after LSU’s comeback win against Texas A&M that free throws and defense is what LSU used to power its 18-0 run to end the game. And free throws and defense, or rather a lack thereof, is what cost LSU against the Red Raiders.

One second-half burst by Florida, fueled by someone who barely played in the first half because foul trouble, was enough to break LSU’s five-game win streak on Saturday afternoon in Gainesville.
Center Colin Castleton scored 17 of Florida’s first 19 second-half points as his team-high 21 points sparked the Gators to an 83-79 SEC victory.
It wasn’t any surprise to the Tigers’ (6-2, 1-1 overall) that the 6-11 Castleton, a Michigan transfer, was so effective. They saw film of his 23-point effort in Florida’s 19-point win at Vanderbilt on Wednesday night.
