LSU WBB remain in the Top 10 of AP Poll
BATON ROUGE – LSU began SEC play with two wins last week, but remained steady at No. 7 in the AP Poll for the ninth week in a row.
The Tiger have won a nation-leading 15 games in a row and kicked off SEC play with two wins over Missouri and at Ole Miss last week. LSU’s offense leads the nation scoring 94.2 points per game this year. In the first two games of SEC play, four players have had 20-point games; Angel Reese (2), Aneesah Morrow, Flau’Jae Johnson and Mikaylah Williams.
Williams paced LSU with 20 points to lead the Tigers to a win in their first road SEC game of the year at Ole Miss, 84-73, in the SJB Pavilion saw a record 9,074 on hand at Sunday’s game.
“Other than Mikaylah being a freshman, most of them are experienced players,” Coach Kim Mulkey said about the team’s ability to handle the large crowd. “They view that crowd as their crowd. That’s what competitors do. That crowd came to see us. When you have that mindset, the louder it gets you kind of block it out.”
LSU had all five starters in double figures to total for 83 of the Tigers’ 84 points. The Tiger’s 8 three-pointers matched a season high, LSU had 8 against Jacksonville in December.
LSU will return to the PMAC for a game against Texas A&M on Thursday before hitting the road for a Sunday afternoon game at Auburn.
