Waters' drive beats Maryland 69-67, sends LSU to Sweet 16
Tremont Waters drove by three defenders and scooped in a banking layup with 1.6 seconds remaining to give third-seeded LSU a 69-67 victory over sixth-seeded Maryland in the second round of the NCAA Tournament on Saturday.
Andrea Adelson ESPN Senior Writer
Tremont Waters hit the shot of his life to send LSU to the Sweet 16, as the Tigers furiously held off Maryland and the Terrapins' comeback from a 15-point deficit in what amounted to the best, wildest game of the tournament so far. LSU players piled on each other on the court after clinching the win.
Adam Rittenberg ESPN Senior Writer
Tennessee players checking out the end of Maryland-LSU. They didn't seem overly thrilled that the Tigers had come back to take the lead. Asked who he's rooting for, Admiral Schofield said, "The Vols."
Andrea Adelson ESPN Senior Writer
Maryland switched to a zone defense, and that has slowed down LSU significantly and allowed the Terrapins to get back in the game -- setting up what should be a fun finish for a spot in the Sweet 16.
Andrea Adelson ESPN Senior Writer
Tremont Waters is such a difference maker for LSU, from the way he sees the floor to the way he works his own shot. The Tigers have looked impressive not only in the way they are dominating inside, but in the way Waters is running the team.
Andrea Adelson ESPN Senior Writer
Maryland is on pace for its worst shooting game of the season, but here is one additional reason the Terrapins are trailing at the half: The LSU bench has outscored them 20-11.
Andrea Adelson ESPN Senior Writer
LSU opened up a double-digit lead thanks to is defense. The Tigers shut down Yale's best shooter in the first round, and so far has held Maryland's Anthony Cowan Jr. to three points. Maryland is just 5-of-23 to start the game.
Andrea Adelson ESPN Senior Writer
The talk going into the Maryland-LSU game focused on the big men on both teams. So far, the Tigers have done a better job defending the paint and making the Terps rely on their outside shooting. Maryland has gotten good looks, but hasn't been able to knock down the shots.
