GAINESVILLE, Fl. - LSU's Jordan Wright had two good looks to tie the game at the buzzer, but the shots didn't fall.

The LSU men's basketball team dropped a heartbreaker at Florida Tuesday night, 82-80. Wright, who had 16 points and helped the Tigers fight back from a 20-point second-half deficit, missed a layup with a second left, then got his second game-tying attempt blocked as time expired.

Will Baker added 16 points for LSU.

The Tigers are now 4-7 in SEC play and 12-12 overall. After starting 3-1 in conference play, LSU has lost six of the last seven games.

Matt McMahon's team faces No. 11 South Carolina in Columbia Saturday at 2:30 p.m.
