All good things must come to an end, and Vanderbilt guard Brad Tinsley made sure LSU’s streak did.With No. 11 LSU trailing by two points in the waning seconds of Wednesday night’s game, the Commodores’ freshman guard drained a game-clinching 3-pointer to put Vanderbilt up by two possessions and secure a 75-67 win.The Commodores (18-11, 7-8) handed the Tigers (25-4, 13-2) their second home loss of the season and became the first Southeastern Conference team to defeat the Tigers since Jan. 11 — the conference opener.”We normally give a good fight back, but the ball didn’t fall in our court today,” said LSU sophomore point guard Bo Spencer. “That was a big three … but that was just a defensive breakdown on us.”It was a similar situation for Spencer and company, but it was not at all a familiar ending. LSU found itself trailing by double digits for the second-straight game. The Tigers shot 20 percent from the field in the game’s first 10 minutes, and Vanderbilt led, 22-8, before most fans had settled into their seats.”I feel like we came out complacent in the first half,” said senior guard Marcus Thornton. “We thought they were going to lay down and give us the game because it was a big night for the seniors. But they wanted it more than us.”Vanderbilt had an answer for every LSU rally, unlike Arkansas and Kentucky before them. The Tigers cut the lead to 9 just before half, only to have it extended to 11 on a gigantic dunk from Vanderbilt’s Jermaine Beal.LSU cut into Vanderbilt’s advantage with multi-point runs on seven separate occasions in the second half, and every single time the Commodores responded to reinforce their lead.”There were times when we had good stops,” said LSU coach Trent Johnson. “But they dominated us in the paint … When we made runs, they put us back on our heels.”The driving force on most of those occasions was Vanderbilt sophomore center A.J. Ogilvy. While the Tigers suffered through shooting struggles early on, Ogilvy found the basket from inside all night.  He shot 12-of-17 from the field and finished his night with 33 points and 10 rebounds.”He’s good,” Johnson said. “He caught some of our guys off guard in terms of his ability to put the ball on the floor in the perimeter.”The loss set off a surreal chain of events for LSU and its fans. As Vanderbilt left the court in celebration and fans headed to the exits, Johnson addressed the remaining crowd on the finer points of the season.Shortly after, SEC championship hats and shirts were distributed to the players, and the team’s 2009 SEC Champions banner was dropped from the southeast corner of the PMAC.East Baton Rouge Parish Mayor-President Kip Holden presented Johnson and his team with a key to the city during the postgame press conference – a reminder of what was supposed to be.Spencer didn’t mind the celebration, however ill-timed it might have been.”As much as it hurt us to lose, Coach didn’t want to lose either,” Spencer said. “It was good to see him thank the fans, and just to see our banner drop. To see us win an SEC championship outright, it was nice.”Johnson said the game was “all about the players” and praised his team for its accomplishments, but he didn’t sound as convinced as his point guard.”There ain’t no silver lining to losing,” Johnson said. “I’m the worst loser around … I would love to be in a situation sitting here where these guys went out on a beautiful win, but it is what it is.”—-Contact David Helman at [email protected]
