After battling back to tie a game they had no business salvaging on Daniel Gibson’s 3 pointer, Texas were completely overwhelmed by LSU in the extra session — a ridiculous 3 from 315 pounds-and-counting Glen Davis (above) being the crucial blow in OT.
Save for 5 blocks (including a game-saver in the closing seconds of regulation) this was a rough day for Longhorns F LaMarus Aldridge (4 points, 2 for 14 shooting), overwhelmed most of the game by Davis and rarely a factor with the ball in his hands.
Senior F Brad Buckman can hold his head high — without his inspired play (14 rebounds, 2 blocks and several LSU shots altered), this one wouldn’t have been close.
LSU’s Tyrus Thomas did nothing to change his likely Top 5 NBA Draft status (if he comes out), with 21 points and 13 rebounds.
