Bayou Bets, Feb. 22: Show's finale highlights LSU's big win

What better way to end 2 1/2 years worth of Bayou Bets shows than to talk about LSU’s thrilling last-second victory over No. 17 Kentucky on Wednesday at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center? Here, Tyrell Ward gets some love from Angel Reese. On the show, we’ll share the love and what’s next for us at .

It might be incredible to think, but the same LSU men’s basketball team that lost to Nicholls State a little more than 3 months ago shocked the 17th-ranked Kentucky Wildcats on Wednesday – just 4 days after they came back from a 16-point deficit to defeat 11th-ranked South Carolina on the road.

What’s up with that, and can the Tigers pull off an even bigger upset and make the NCAA Tournament? What about Zion Williamson, Brandon Ingram and the rest of the New Orleans Pelicans open up the post All-Star break with a home game against the Houston Rockets? And value to be bet there?

The crew of Jim Derry, Thomas Casale, Gabe Henderson and  Spencer the Guru finish off the final Bayou Bets show ever with talk about the Saints and a possible expanding (again) of the college football playoffs before making a major announcement about the future of our shows here on the site.
