Trent Johnson clinched a share of the SEC Championship against Florida on Mardi Gras in 2009. Now that was a Mardi Gras miracle.

I was there. Can't remember ever going from being so high for a half to being so low.

It was like Borne was a recording on repeat in the first half. 'Ronnie Henderson for threeeeeeeee'

MG Day 1994... LSU in the PMAC is up 31 points on Kentucky and looks to be cruising to a stunning victory... then collapse in the final 15 minutes to lose 99-95

At end of first half the clock had already struck zero and then the official sees a foul that happened after the clock expired. Why would Kentucky get free throws when the clock already reached zero and after that there was a seen foul from the official.

So happy I was too young to have been emotionally invested in this. Bout to change the channel and we'll win by 31.

Luckily I was not able to watch this live since I was out watching parades and such. But I've seen the replay before.

I was there with my Dad.

Pitino flawlessly platoon swapped to fuel comeback.

Never seen my Dad so angry before, or since.

I had no connection to LSU before I decided to go there.

Even I remember this game from seeing the highlight when I was 9 on ESPN.

"Man, that sucks, they blew it." And I moved on with life

It was cool seeing a young Johnny Jones on the bench and a young Billy Donovan as Pitino's assistant during a time out.

There was a Joe Dean Sr. and a Randy Livingston sighting too.

Sad statement made in one of the interviews during the game was that the '94 LSU team snapped their 10 year streak of making the NCAA Tournament.

Talk about your highs and lows. A few months earlier, LSU football upset an unbeaten Bama squad in T-Town wile being about a 30 point underdog. LSU football had one of the biggest upsets of the year, if not more.

LSU basketball leads by 30 with 15 minutes to go and end up losing the game. Dari said after the game that in 2013 USA Today said that the '94 Kintucky-LSU game was the biggest comeback in all of sports.

I feel Dari was going overboard stating that was the biggest comeback ever.

Considering the importance of the game, Buffalo's miracle rally and comeback victory over the Houston Oilers in the NFL playoffs in the early 90's ranks above a regular season college basketball game.
