Gonzaga led by as many as 13 points in the second half at home on Saturday against LSU. The No. 14 Bulldogs were up 68-55 with less than eight minutes to go.
A 10-4 run slingshotted Will Wade’s Tigers right back into the thick of things. A barrage of 3-pointers helped them complete the comeback.

The last of the bunch was a step-back 3-pointer from fifth-year guard Donovan Dent. After Gonzaga guard Davis Fogle missed a free throw with 12.7 ticks remaining, LSU forward Saliou Niang brought the ball up and handed it off to Dent near the top of the arc.
With 6-foot-11 forward Chauncey Wiggins guarding Dent, the 6-foot-2 backcourt playmaker got crafty to create space. He put the rock on a string and ultimately pulled it back, launching the game-winning triple.
It dropped in with one second left to effectively deliver an 81-80 victory.
