The Lady Tigers were still in the game till the end despite missing Flau’Jae Johnson, Annesah Morrow for most of the second half and Mikaylah Williams for most of the final period with foul trouble. The difference was turnovers and missed free throws. LSU only made 9 of 17 free throws and turned the ball over 15 times. LSU has struggled at the free throw line all season long. If they make all of their free throws the out come of the game could have been different. The Lady Tigers only shot 34% from the floor on the night. They struggled from behind the three point arc only hitting 2-8. Texas out-rebounded LSU, 43-32. Mikaylah Williams led the team in scoring with 11 points.

The first period ended with Texas leading 13-11. The Lady Tigers cooled off halfway through the opening period, shooting only 4-17 from the floor for 24%.

The free throws were an issue again in the first half as LSU only hit 5-10 from the charity stripe. They need to make their free throws in the second half if they want to pull out a win and advance to tomorrow’s championship game. The offensive production must also improve in the second half. Texas out-rebounded the Lady Tigers, 23-17. Aneesah Morrow led LSU at the break with 10 points. Miracle Sheppard finished the half with 6 points. With 7:30 left in the third period and Texas leading, 32-27, A huge blow occurred for LSU when Annesah Morrow went down with a foot injury that sent her to the locker room. LSU would score four straight to cut the lead to one, 32-31 with 4:40 left in the period, while keeping Texas scoreless over the last five minutes of play. With 1:37 left in the third, LSU found themselves trailing 38-34 and playing without any of their top three players. Johnson sitting out the tournament, Morrow in the locker room injured and Williams on the bench with four fouls. The big question now is who will step up for the Lady Tigers? The game headed to the fourth period with Texas leading by six, 40-34. LSU struggled to gain ground on Texas as they trailed 48-42 with only 2:16 left in the contest. Now LSU will wait for the NCAA Tournament field to be announced to know who their next opponent will be. John 14:6 - "I am the way and the truth and the life.
