LSU’s bid for an upset over No. 17 Kentucky was in danger with 12.3 seconds remaining after a go-ahead jumper from Wildcats guard Rob Dillingham. But with Kentucky leading 74–73, the Tigers capped off a wild final sequence that included Jordan Wright’s game-winning attempt getting blocked by Adou Thiero in one of the most chaotic finishes of the college basketball season.
After his attempt was blocked, Wright grabbed the ball while falling out of bounds and tossed it toward the hoop. LSU teammate Tyrell Ward found himself in the perfect spot, catching Wright’s pass and scoring as the clock hit zero to give the Tigers a stunning 75–74 victory.
TYRELL WARD OH MY GOODNESS
