A J’Von McCormick floater with 0.1 remaining in overtime put a dagger in LSU’s heart, giving No. 11 Auburn the comeback win on Saturday inside Auburn Arena.
Doughty, McCormick and Cambridge all posted 26, 23 and 21 points respectively.
“Cambridge was the difference just like he was in their game against South Carolina,” said Wade on the Auburn guard. “Think he hit five or six against South Carolina. Hit seven today. Just a great, great game. I thought their guard play and Cambridge was tremendous.”
Next, LSU returns home to face Missouri on Tuesday for an 8 p.m. tip on the SEC Network.
