BATON ROUGE – No. 7 LSU (21-1, 6-1 SEC) will host No. 13 Oklahoma (16-4, 4-3 SEC) in a top-15 showdown Thursday night in the PMAC at 6 p.m. CT on ESPN for the annual whiteout game.

Prior to Thursday’s game, SportsCenter will be live from the PMAC Pad from 1-2 and then there will be a party on the pad starting at 3:30 with vendors and activities for fans to enjoy. There will be a white shirt on every seat in the PMAC for the whiteout.

The ESPN2 broadcast will feature Courtney Lyle and Carolyn Peck. Patrick Wright and Shaeeta Williams will call the action on the LSU Sports Radio Network.

The Tigers battled to a hard-fought victory over Texas A&M on short rest Sunday after the game at South Carolina was moved to Friday. For the third game in a row, LSU held its opponent to under 39.9-percent shooting. The Tigers were dominant over the past two games with a combined 58 offensive rebounds. LSU grabbed 28 offensive rebounds at South Carolina before getting 30 against Texas A&M; both marks set program records in a SEC game.

Aneesah Morrow’s fell one rebound shy of another double-double to extend her streak which ended at 11 games. With the 9 rebounds though, Morrow moved into the top-10 for the most rebounds in NCAA DI history.

Flau’Jae Johnson recorded 12th game this season with 20+ points against Texas A&M. She has scored in double-figures in 31 consecutive games going back to last season.

Oklahoma, in its first season in the SEC, joined the conference after claiming the Big 12 Championship last season. Both the Tigers and the Sooners rank in the top-3 nationally in rebounding. They also both rank in the top-10 in scoring with both teams thriving in transition. Reagan Beers leads the Sooners with 16.7 points and 8.9 rebounds per game. Counterintuitively, through seven conference games, Beers scores significantly less per game during wins as compared to losses.

LSU looks to be prepared for the game and get a ranked win in the PMAC Thursday night.

“We’re mentally strong,” Junior Flau’Jae Johnson said after the win over Texas A&M. “Your mental has to be ten times your physical when you play these games. It’s the SEC so you’re playing good teams every day, you have to be mentally sharp, you have to let the last game go, and focus between the lines. We’re a young team, but mentally, we’re strong.

“We sat and watched the South Carolina film. We looked at the things we did well, and for me I was pissed, I’m a competitor, I could barely sleep, but I was like all the things we did wrong all of those things are fixable. Turnovers we had, free throws, all of them are fixable so it gave me a little chip. We didn’t play our best. We’re going to be alright.”
