Da Boot Sports 1/30/2025 By: Jason Watson Jr. BATON ROUGE, LA - #7 LSU hosted #13 Oklahoma in an SEC battle of top-15 foes. Even with a ferocious comeback attempt, the Tigers downed the Sooners in a triumphant 107-100 victory in front of a full “whiteout” crowd. Both offenses put on a show early in the first quarter, but as officials let the women play tough, things began to get chippy. Lots of arm grabbing, body bumping, and eventually altercations forced an official timeout with 4:10 remaining in the opening period. LSU’s Sa’Myah Smith and OU’s Liz Scott were ejected from the contest after bodies hit the floor. It was the visiting Sooners with a 23-20 advantage after one. OU shot 75% from beyond the arc while the Tigers failed to make one three-pointer. LSU kicked things into another gear through the second quarter. The Tigers went on a 15-5 run over four minutes to take their largest lead of the first half at 35-30. Aggressive fouls and subsequent foul reviews led to an extended second quarter of play. LSU played much better all-around team basketball, outscoring the Sooners by 13 in the second. Mikaylah Williams took over the period scoring 16 of her 20 points in the frame while heading the Tigers to a 52-42 halftime lead. Less than four minutes elapsed in the third period and LSU had already doubled their halftime lead to 20. With 4:13 to go in the quarter, LSU held its largest lead of 24 points, but a pesky Oklahoma team would not go away so easily. By the time 2:02 shown on the clock, OU had cut the deficit in half, trailing 63-75. Both teams would close the quarter strong, but the Tigers retained a 15-point advantage heading to the final quarter. Oklahoma trimmed the Tiger lead to ten with 7:25 to play. Tenacious defense from the Sooners and lackadaisical play from LSU prevented this one from being a blowout. What was once a near thirty-point lead had been reduced to just seven with five minutes left to play. As the minutes wound, the points mounted. As the Tiger lead shrunk, so did the Sooner deficit. An exchange of triples forced a Kim Mulkey timeout from the sideline with LSU leading Oklahoma by just a single point with less than a minute to play. With an already impressive night, who else to call on than Milkaylah Williams who would come through in the clutch with her seventh trey of the game, putting her point total at 37. A steal on the other end by Del Rosario was followed up by a fastbreak layup from Flau’Jae Johnson and suddenly the Tigers led 106-100. That would be all she wrote as the seconds salted away. LSU would stake victory in the ranked meeting. Williams led all scorers with 37. Aneesah Morrow picked up another double-double performance with 21 points and 12 rebounds. Johnson piled in 25 points herself. A sort of “everybody was needed” game from the Tigers in the win. Next up, LSU will host Mississippi State on Sunday, February 2, 2024, in an afternoon contest at the PMAC. Geaux Tigers!

Weil COLUMBIA, SC - This one is always circled on the schedule before the season begins. #5 LSU traveled to Columbia to take on the #2 ranked Lady Gamecocks on Friday in a huge SEC contest. The Lady Tigers unfortunately dropped their first game of the season, 66-56. After a very competitive first half, it was South Carolina who came out and raised their level of play on defense, combined with costly LSU turnovers and poor shooting that was the difference in the contest. The Lady Tigers average 90.1 points per game and the Lady Gamecocks held them to only 56 points and blocked 11 LSU shots. You simply can't play a team like South Carolina on the road and only shoot 30% from the floor and turn the ball over 17 times. LSU would miss 18 shots right under the basket late in the game while trying to mount a comeback. Just not enough offense by the Bayou Ben-Gals. However, this game doesn't make or break the season, it's just a shame to lose it. There is a lot of basketball ahead of the Lady Tigers and there is a very good chance that these two teams will meet again down the road. Aneesah Morrow led the team with 15 points and 16 rebounds for another double-double. Flau'jae Johnson and Mikaylah Williams both scored 13 points each. Sa'Myah Smith finished with 7. Shayeann Day-Wilson added 6 points and Kailyn Gilbert finished with 2 points. The opening pace of the game was fast, physical and furious as both teams traded blows back and forth. At the 4:45 official's timeout, LSU held a 16-11 lead. The first period came to an end with the Lady Tigers leading, 22-21 in a well played game by both squads. These two SEC giants continued their back and forth battle, as they sat at a 29-29 tie at the 4:59 official's timeout of the second period. No disappointment so far as this contest was living up to all the hype. Fantastic game being played by both teams. Two of the best in the nation. South Carolina was able to make the big shots late in the first half to take a 33-30 lead into the locker room at the half. LSU went scoreless over the last 4:51 of the second period. The Lady Tigers shot 33% from the floor in the first half. they hit 3-9 from behind the arc for 33%. From the free throw line they went 50%, 1-2. LSU turned the ball over eight times while the Gamecocks only committed five. LSU dominated on the boards in the first half, out-rebounding South Carolina, 28-19. Flau'Jae Johnson led the team at the break with 11 points. Mikaylah Williams scored 7 points. Annesah Morrow added 6. Sa'Myah Smith and Shayeann Day-Wilson both finished with 3 points each. South Carolina would go on a 12-6 run over the first five minutes of the third period to take a 45-36 lead as LSU lost some spark committing a couple of costly turnovers that the Lady Cocks quickly turned into points. The third quarter was owned by South Carolina thanks to a physical, suffocating Gamecock's defense and sloppy LSU play leading to costly turnovers. The period would end with South Carolina leading by ten, 51-41. LSU continued to struggle on offense to start the final period as South Carolina's defensive pressure overwhelmed the Lady Tigers. With 5:12 left in the game, South Carolina held a 56-45 lead. Meanwhile the turnovers and foul trouble continued to mount for LSU. The Lady Tigers are now 20-1 overall and 5-1 in the SEC. Next, LSU returns home to the Pete Maravich Assembly Center to host Texas A&M on Sunday, January 26 at 3:00 pm. The game will be televised on the SEC Network.
