I haven’t been on the Gus bus since 2016, but let’s keep the basketball (and every other sports forum) about basketball (or the forum’s respective sport(s)) and leave the condescension about Gus in the football forum. But you are right, Bruce is a gift and I hope he keeps his word of staying long enough to have the arena named after him with multiple NCAA runs and SEC championships. I really hope he can win a couple of SEC tourneys as well. As big as winning the regular season is, with its grueling demand, there’s something differently special in winning the tournament.

This one ends 0-0. Can’t feel bad about the way AU played, just that the winning streak is over. Still undefeated. Just not untied. Getting wins on the road in the SEC is tough so have to live with the tie. Second year in a row for AU to 0-0 draw LSU.

Except Malonson. Geez what speed in 2OT. Forces a throw which turns into a shot she puts just over the bar. 2’ to go.

Now with 5 min to go, both teams are looking rubber legged.

But saying that, LSU has had some possession here with 6 min to go. AU needs to tighten up the midfield.

Agree. LSU looking to slow things down as much as they can.

End of OT 1. AU still on the front foot, still nothing to show for it.

AU earns a corner with 1:30 to go in the first OT. Will it amount to more than the previous opportunities? No, it’s cleared.

Free kick for AU in a promising spot. 25 yards out right in the middle. It isn’t close.

0-0 end of regulation. Got to feel like AU has a good chance in OT as they have poured it on in the last 30’ but nothing to show for it. LSU has been lucky and good in keeping AU out of the net. Hoping for that golden goal!

2’ and AU with a corner but like all the rest, they haven’t been remotely effective.

Man, the second shot the goalie was just getting up and the shot just hit her in the leg. Just total luck.

7’ to go and how did AU not score there. Two shots in the six yard box and not right at the keeper. Ouch.

10’ to go. AU has had more success getting chances this half for sure, but nothing to show for it. Malonson just picked up a yellow for a late tackle. LSU has been wanting a yellow on AU for a while and finally got it. It was the right call.

17’ to go and another good chance for AU. A free kick falls to Whittaker who collects and shots just outside the 6 yard box but it hits the keeper’s leg and the defense clears.
