In its first major test of the season, the LSU men’s basketball team walked into Spokane, Washington, on Saturday and stunned No. 14 Gonzaga 81-80 in Spokane, Washington.
It was the first time the Tigers (4-0) and Bulldogs (2-1) had ever faced off, and the Tigers erased a 13-point second-half deficit to remain undefeated.
With LSU down 80-78, fifth-year guard Donovan Dent drilled a 3-pointer with one second left to secure the win. Dent led all players in both points (23) and assists (10). He was 9-of-20 shooting overall.
“My guy tripped at the half court, and that kind of gave me a running start of momentum,” Dent said about his final shot. “(Saliou Niang) gave a little pitch back. We got the switch, and I don’t think we wanted to go to overtime there, so I knew I was shooting that no matter what, and it went in. It was a good shot.”
