The first part of our season is over. We have to evaluate what we think we did in the first part of our season and then we need to flush it. Now you go into the most important part, and that is SEC play.” The Tigers will begin SEC play on Thursday at 8 p.m. CT when they host Missouri on the SEC Network. “I think we have some things to clean up,” Coach Mulkey said. “We have time to prepare for a very good Missouri team. You know what you’re going to get from them. You have to defend in transition and defend the three ball. Hayley Frank is one of the top players in our league and in the country.” Reese had 17 points and 20 rebounds, going 11-14 from the free throw line. It was her seventh 20-rebound game at LSU.

Just getting to come to a historically black college was important. My aunt (played) here and my cousin. I got to come back and do a lot for this community and show little girls that this is something that is possible and was very important to me.” “You saw an arena tonight that sold out a long time ago because of Angel Reese, the national championship, and how we play the game,” Coach Mulkey said. “It was very visible tonight.” Wednesday’s contest marked the first time that a defending women’s NCAA DI National Champion played at an HBCU, per ESPN Stats & Info. Reese dropped 26 points and brought down 6 boards to lead all scorers on 11-15 from the field. She also tied her career-high with 5 steals. Much of the 4,100 announced crowd came out to see Reese make her return to Baltimore for the first sellout in the history of the PEC Arena. “It means everything,” Reese said. “When I was little I wanted my own opportunity. I am at the point where I have stretched a lot of young girls’ and boys’ minds. They know they can be in this position one day. Being able to be a leader and someone they look up to is something that I have embraced. Being from Baltimore, as you know I know, I have a great representation. Coming back here is great. I am the Baltimore Barbie before I am the Bayou Barbie.” Last-Tear Poa was efficient running the point guard position, dishing out a career-high 8 assists with no turnovers.

She has that eternal chip where she knows that she can play at any level.” “She’s one of the top freshmen in the nation and she has a lot to add to her game,” Morrow added about Williams. “She hasn’t reached the peak of her game. She got more rebounds than me tonight and that’s something I’ve been challenging the guards to do.” Freshman Aalyah Del Rosario also played valuable minutes with 7 points and 8 rebounds.

Her return comes after announcements that Kateri Poole was not with the squad while losing sophomore forward Sa’Myah Smith for the season with a torn ACL, MCL, and meniscus. Not only did LSU pick up a statement win, coach Kim Mulkey achieved her 700th career win. Mulkey became the fastest ever to the milestone, having done so in just 813 games. She passes legendary UCONN coach Geno Auriemma, who previously held the record at 822 games. The Tigers trailed early versus the ACC foe and made a triumphant comeback. After the first quarter, Tech led 20-13. LSU’s defense would come alive in the following frame and hold the Hokies to nine second-quarter points. LSU’s star power flipped the script and enabled the team to jump to a 35-29 lead at halftime. Hokie guard Georgia Amoore led all scorers with 25 on the night, but it was not enough to keep pace with the Tigers’ balanced offensive attack. Four of LSU’s starters brought their point total into double digits; freshman Mikaylah Williams headed the Tigers with 20. Reese and Morrow tallied 19 points. LSU got to the line often but struggled from the charity stripe, only managing to shoot 17-26, a 65.4% rate. LSU’s largest lead of the night was 22 points late in the fourth. Virginia Tech attempted to rely on their three-point shooting to keep them in the game, but they could only knock down four shots from the perimeter all night. LSU’s a powerhouse on both sides of the ball, and it showed against a top-ranked opponent. It’s a long season, but the Tigers are in a prime position to make another championship run. The Lady Tigers are back in action on December 10th at home against the UL Lafayette Ragin’ Cajuns. The game will be at the PMAC at 2:00 pm CST and broadcast on SECN+. Geaux Tigers!
