ended the quarter with our most experienced player pulling a complete rock by pushing the play far too early while the team was running the clock down for the final shot and LSU making two FTs to tie the game at 48 sending it on into the final quarter.
We've all focused on UCLA's mostly abysmal three point shooting - and the sheer number of failed three point attempts - but the more serious problem may actually be LSU's adeptness hitting the midrange shots and our failure to do so. Touch is required. LSU's interior defense is keeping Rice and Osborne and Jaquez from getting those opportunities and LSU - led by Johnson - is nailing them.
But we're tied going into the final quarter. Rice, Osborne, Reese, Morrow and del Rosario all have three fouls
Close hard fought game but not one many people will long remember for the quality of the play
