Kim Mulkey wasn’t enjoying Kentucky star Georgia Amoore‘s stunning first half quite as much as the fans in Memorial Coliseum. After Amoore threw a dime to Clara Silva in the corner to extend Kentucky’s lead, the broadcast zoomed in on the legendary LSU head coach, who was anything but excited.

It’s hard to blame her. Amoore was a nuisance to LSU’s first-half efforts. The senior standout tallied 12 points, three assists and two steals in the half, boasting a +/- of +12.

Georgia Amoore’s buckets weren’t quiet, either. The Virginia Tech transfer was a highlight factory, converting step-back bombs as if they were layups. Fueled by Amoore’s fantastic play, Kentucky took a 38-26 lead into halftime.

Alas, Mulkey didn’t roll over. The Tigers burst out of halftime looking like a different team. LSU outscored Kentucky 23-6 in the third quarter.

The Tigers were dominant in every aspect of the game in the quarter. They out-rebounded Kentucky 15-6 while holding the Wildcats to 2-13 shooting from the field. When the dust settled, LSU took a convincing 49-44 lead into the final frame.

Medical emergency delays Notre Dame-NC State overtime

On Sunday, No. 1 Notre Dame and No. 13 NC State had nearly a 10-minute break between the end of regulation and overtime due to a medical emergency in the stands. The broadcast briefly showed the emergency, which occurred in the upper deck of Reynolds Coliseum.

Several medical personnel members could be seen administering care to the person suffering the emergency. At the time of this report, no update has been provided about the person who needed medical attention.

Fortunately, NC State and Notre Dame helped fans take their minds off the scary scene in the ensuing two overtimes. The two powerhouse teams traded blows back and forth like two prize fighters. Nonetheless, the Wolfpack ultimately pulled off the upset, winning 104-95.

It is the first time since 1978 that NC State has defeated a No. 1 ranked team at home. The Wolfpack looked excellent in the victory, with all five of the team’s starters scoring double figures.

However, nobody outscored Zoe Brooks, who erupted for 33 points and 10 rebounds while shooting 9-20 from the floor and a stunning 14-14 from the free-throw line.

Tilda Trygger was also fantastic. The 6-foot-6 freshman racked up 11 points and nine rebounds in the win on 8-9 shooting from the field. After the game, Zoe Brooks raved about her team’s massive triumph.

“It’s a great, great feeling. Great atmosphere. It’s a really big game, the No. 1 team in the country and I just had a great time today,” Brooks said. “We always play together. We’re a sisterhood, we’re a family and we know that if we play together, we can beat anybody in the country.”
