No. 4 LSU entered Saturday having only lost to top-ranked South Carolina, and it looked like that status would continue when they carried a 40-26 lead over Tennessee into halftime in the semifinal of the SEC Tournament.
The 28-1 Tigers, seeded second in the tournament, led by as many as 17 points midway through the second quarter and were one win away from getting a rematch with the Gamecocks. And then, well, Tennessee won, because it is March and stuff like that happens sometimes.
The Volunteers ripped off a 16-3 run early in the third to get within striking distance, then eked out a 69-67 win to advance to the final.Their 17-point comeback matches the second-largest in SEC tournament history.
