Da Boot Sports 10/30/2025 LSU Sports Communications By: LSU Staff BATON ROUGE, La. – The LSU women’s basketball team provided a stellar defensive effort in their 121-41 victory over Langston Thursday in the final exhibition before the season opener inside the Pete Maravich Assembly Center. The Tigers return to action for the regular-season opener against Houston Christian on November 4 inside the Maravich Center at 7 p.m. CT. The contest will be streamed on SEC Network + with Lyn Rollins and Victor Howell calling the first action of the 2025-26 season. Fans can listen to the LSU Sports Radio Network with Patrick Wright and Shaeeta Williams on the call. The Tiger defense flexed its muscles all night long, holding the Langston offense to 15-of-44 (34.1%) from the field and 4-of-20 (20.0%) from behind the three-point line. LSU was able to hold the Lions to under 15 points in each quarter, while its offense put together four quarters of 27-plus points in each period. The LSU defense forced 36 turnovers, while only turning the ball over eight times as an offensive unit. “Our defense was really good today,” associate head coach Bob Starkey said. “There were some things that we haven’t been doing well. We haven’t been helping and recovering, our rotations have been poor, and we spent a lot of time this week working on that. I felt really good about how our kids responded and played today defensively.” In the first half, the Tigers dominated early, shooting 23-of-43 (53.5%) from the floor while Langtson shot 33.3 percent. LSU connected on 3-of-8 from three-point range and converted 13-of-22 at the free throw line. The LSU offense improved on its shooting in the second half, connecting on 21-of-32 (65.6%) field goal attempts and 15-of-22 free throws. Senior Amiya Joyner led the Tigers against Langston, collecting a double-double on the evening with 24 points and 11 rebounds. Joyner went a perfect 9-for-9 from the field. Fellow forward Kate Koval shined, recording the other double-double of the game. Koval accounted for 12 points and 11 rebounds in the exhibition game. “I feel like you have (Amiya Joyner), you have Kate (Koval), you have (Meghan Yarnevich). Those are three physical players that aren’t afraid of contact, and it gives you a presence inside on both ends of the floor,” Starkey said. “I think it’ll make us better. [Amiya Joyner] is incredibly physical, but she also has some finesse to her game. If you watch her finish around the rim, she can bang, bang, bang, and give you a finger roll, a little jump hook, and she’s a great kid. I mean, we’ve really added not just some good players, but we’ve added some good people. In addition to Joyner, five other Tigers scored in double figures, including freshman guard Bella Hines (14), Koval (12), junior guard MiLaysia Fulwiley (11), senior guard Flau’Jae Johnson (10), and sophomore guard Jada Richard (10). “I feel like these two exhibitions definitely showed us the little things that we have to work on,” Koval said. “Obviously, we practice against each other, but going out there and playing against somebody else shows you things. I think we definitely have to work on our defense, our transition defense, and just continue getting that chemistry. I would say more on the defensive end, because I feel like offense is falling pretty good for us, so just focusing on defense, getting stops and learning each other more.” LSU opened the scoring in the first quarter with a Koval layup. The Tigers and Lions traded blows in the following minutes before the home team went on a 19-2 run to close the first quarter out. LSU would lead the visitors 27-11 at the conclusion of the first period. Mikaylah Williams and Fulwiley started the second quarter with a quick steal from Williams and a score on the other end for Fulwiley. As a collective, LSU continued its hot shooting in the second quarter, outscoring Langston, 35-7, to finish the first half. LSU’s dominance was complete in the second half by outsourcing the Lions, 59-23. John 14:6 - "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."

Da Boot Sports 10/23/2025 LSU Sports Communications By: LSU Staff BATON ROUGE, La. – The fifth-ranked LSU women’s basketball team defeated Mississippi College, 146-48, in its first exhibition contest of the season on Thursday night at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center. LSU’s 148 points in the exhibition game was the most during Coach Kim Mulkey’s tenure (exhibition or not), surpassing a 2023 regular-season win against McNeese when the Tigers scored 133 points. The most points scored in an exhibition with Mulkey at the helm came against Langston in the 2023-24 preseason prior to Thursday night. LSU will have its final exhibition game against Langston at 7 p.m. CT on Thursday, Oct. 30, at the Maravich Center before opening the regular season at home against Houston Christian at 7 p.m. CT on Tuesday, Nov. 4. The Tigers shot 68.2 percent from the floor on 58-of-85 shooting, shot nearly 50 percent from 3-point range (10-of-22), and were a solid 22-of-28 at the free throw line. The Tigers outrebounded the Choctaws, 62-12, and the home team was able to grab 20 offensive boards in the process. Freshman guard ZaKiyah Johnson finished with a double-double after leading the team with 25 points (12-of-13) and 10 rebounds, half of them coming on the offensive glass. Johnson also had one block and one steal in the game. “Well, she just goes and gets it,” Mulkey said “She quick jumps you. She’s gonna come off the boards with a dribble, and she’s heading down the floor. She’s a good player. She’s always around the ball, and she goes and gets offensive rebounds. She has never complained or wavered about anything. I believe in her moving her to the four; look at what we have on the perimeter. And as I told her, I’m just trying to get you on the floor. I need you to go play the four. Don’t look at it as a post, look at it as an opportunity to get lots of minutes. When I need her to go outside and play on the perimeter, she can do that too. But as you see, she’s very comfortable there.” In addition to Johnson, six other Tigers scored in double figures, including junior guard MiLaysia Fulwiley (17), junior guard Mikaylah Williams (16), senior forward Amiya Joyner (15), freshman guard Bella Hines (14), freshman forward Kate Koval (14) and senior guard Kailyn Gilbert (13). Five of the seven players who scored in double figures were newcomers in the program. “Well, they’re very talented,” Mulkey said of the freshmen class. “They know how to win, and because of that, they’re very confident, but yet, they’re coachable. They will have days where those older teachers in the SEC are going to pound their heads, and that’s when I’m going to watch and I’m going to enjoy coaching them because it’s only going to make them better.” LSU began the scoring of the Tigers’ first exhibition by way of a Koval layup. LSU would score the first four points of the contest with another newcomer in Amiya Joyner converting on two free throws. After some back-and-forth scoring from both teams, the Tigers went on a 14-0 run early in the first quarter to take a 25-7 lead at the first timeout. Coach Kim Mulkey decided to make wholesale changes in the lineup, entering four newcomers including Grace Knox, Hines, Johnson, and Fulwiley and Gilbert. That group scored the ball as effectively as the starting five going on a 14-2 scoring run themselves. LSU led the Choctaws 43-10 at the end of the first quarter. In the second quarter, LSU worked on extending its impressive lead, closing out the first half with a 74-23 lead at the half. Slowly but surely, LSU kept adding on to its point total and finished the third quarter with a 113-32 lead. The Tigers outscored their opponent in the third quarter 39-9 while shooting 16-of-24 from the field with four three-point field goals made. With all hands on deck at this point in the game, LSU extended its margin of victory to 102 points as it closed out the contest in the Maravich Center. The 102 point margin of victory is the largest in LSU history regardless of its exhibition status. The previous high was 89 points against McNeese on Dec. 12, 2023.

Da Boot Sports 5/2/2025 Article Courtesy of ESPN & Associated Press BATON ROUGE, La. -- Former LSU star Angel Reese's homecoming in the Chicago Sky's WNBA exhibition opener was a smashing success. Reese had 15 points and 10 rebounds, helping the Sky to a rousing 89-62 victory over the Brazilian national team on Friday night at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center. Reese was smiling the moment she entered the arena where her college career took off after transferring from Maryland. She earned All-America honors twice and led LSU to the national title in 2023. "I'm just happy to be back to see all the fans, even down to the security guards, because I know how much was put into this program," said Reese, who's entering her second season with the Sky after earning WNBA All-Rookie honors last year, when she set a league single-season rebounding record. A crowd of 6,373, many of whom wore Sky T-shirts and Reese No. 5 jerseys, cheered her and rookie teammate Hailey Van Lith's every move. Van Lith was an LSU teammate of Reese in 2023-24 before playing her final collegiate season at TCU. Van Lith entered the game to a loud ovation with 5:43 left in the third quarter and finished with seven points, five assists and three rebounds. Reese and Van Lith were honored before the game with video highlights of their time at LSU. Tigers coach Kim Mulkey gave the duo bouquets and hugs. Kia Nurse added 11 points for the Sky. Chicago's Kamilla Cardoso, playing against her Brazilian countrywomen, had six points and eight rebounds. Manu Alves led Brazil with nine points. Friday's game was the first for new Sky coach Tyler Marsh.
