- OXFORD, Miss. - Ole Miss vs LSU
Mikaylah 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.
That’s an Ole Miss program record for attendance and a new record for the SJB Pavilion which opened eight years ago.
“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.
Williams was hot all afternoon with 20 points on 7-12 from the field and 4-5 from the three-point line. The freshman’s performance marked the 12th time this season she has reached double figures. She added 7 rebounds and 4 steals as she lit up the highlight reel.
“I don’t view her as a freshman,” Coach Mulkey said of Williams. “She just has a college ready body, a mindset, and confidence.”
The duo down low of Angel Reese and Aneesah Morrow combined for 34 points and 17 rebounds. Reese finished with 21 points, 4 assists, and 9 boards while Morrow scored 13 and hauled in 8 rebounds.
Hailey Van Lith and Flau’Jae Johns rounded out the five to break double digits. Johnson dropped 16 as she also continued to improve on defense. Van Lith found success shooting the ball with 13 points on 5-11 from the field, the transfer also added 43 assists and a pair of triples.
The Rebels’ Marquesha Davis led all players with 24 points on 10-14 from the field and 7 rebounds. Madison Scott and Snudda Collins were the only other scorers to reach double figures scoring 13 and 12, respectively.
LSU ended the afternoon 47-percent from the field compared to Ole Miss’ 40-percent. The Tigers won the rebound battle 44-36 despite being outscored 36-28 inside the paint. LSU went 8-13 for 62-percent from deep and Ole Miss went 3-11 for 27-percent. There were 4 lead changes and Ole Miss held the lead for just 2:38.
The Tigers will return home on Thursday to face the Aggies of Texas A&M at 7 p.m. CT inside the PMAC. LSU will then travel to Auburn on Sunday for a 2:00 p.m. tip on ESPN.
Williams capped off a 6-0 run with a triple to give LSU the early lead over the rebels. Ole Miss responded with a 6-0 run of its own before Morrow hit her first three-pointer to put LSU back up by three. LSU held a 14-12 lead at the first media timeout after going 3-4 from deep to start the game. Tyia Singleton gave the Rebels their first lead of the afternoon as her layup finished a 6-0 run and made it 18-16. With the game tied at 23, Van Lith hit her first three of the night as the buzzer sounded to regain the lead for LSU.
A Davis three-point play tied things back up at 26 early in the second. LSU responded well as it went on an 11-4 run to gain its largest lead of the night, 37-30. Van Lith kept the Tigers momentum as she scored 4 unanswered to force an Ole Miss timeout with 2:39 left before the break. With just over a minute to go, Williams shook a defender to the floor as she stepped back beyond the arch and proceeded to hit LSU’s 7th three-pointer of the half. The Tigers looked comfortable in the second as LSU took a 13-point lead into halftime, 50-37.
LSU’s 7 first half three-pointers was the most scored in one half by the Tigers this season. LSU only out-rebounded the rebels 18-15, but shot 57-percent from the field compared to Ole Miss’ 45-percent. After the first 20 minutes, Davis led all scorers with 14 points and Williams followed closely with 13.
The Tigers struggled to get back into rhythm early in the third as Ole Miss went on a 7-0 run to move the margin within six. Williams stopped the run with a pull-up from midrange but the Tiger offense didn’t last long before Ole Miss held them scoreless on a 10-0 run to take the lead, 53-52. LSU responded to the run quickly as it went on a 9-0 run to move the Tiger lead back to eight and force a Rebel timeout. Ole Miss continued to gain on LSU behind Davis who had reached 22 points by the end of the third quarter. Scott closed out the third with two made free throws to put the Rebels within striking distance, 67-62.
LSU started the final quarter on a 12-2 run ahead of the media timeout and gave the Tigers a 15-point lead with 5:39 left in regulation. Ole Miss was only able to score from the foul line in the opening six minutes of the quarter. LSU’s lead would be enough to hold off the late effort and secure its first road conference win of the season.

I like LSU! Mikaylah Williams is the best player on the player on the team. Aneesah Morrow is the best athlete. Flau'Jae is the most valuable, because if Flau'Jae shows up to the South Carolina game and plays like she's been playing...it's a good game. Angel Reese is a very rare player, she has a penchant for making something out of absolutely nothing. Hailey Van Lith is really settling in. If you key in too much on the other players... Hailey is waiting like a silent assassin. LSU has a lot of talent but Mikaylah Williams can't be stopped. She can get her shot off anytime, and place... and it's really only a question of whether she makes or misses. Mikaylah Williams pro talents already. I watch the NBA and there aren't a lot of women who can steal a ball and calmly drain a 3pt shot in transition effortlessly as if it's a lay up.... Mikaylah Williams is super good but Flau'Jae is very crucial right now. Angel needs to stop missing lay ups. Like if I were her coach... she'd be shooting 500 layups before AND after practice. That's Angels bread and butter. If Mikaylah Williams can shoot 3s in transition, Angel needs to shoot in the 80s or higher on lay ups.
Yea and angel just be coasting. She needs to be more aggressive.
I agree with most of ur assessments but van lith is a defensive liability and not too many other guards around the country is worried about her
To say Angel is that tall she is slow to get off the floor jumping and seems to always be off balance shooting layups. She needs to find a jump shot also. LSU as a whole needs to stop trying to block every shot committing crazy fouls especially when they don't have a deep bench.
Angel should definitely be making 60% of her shots. All the missed layups is why she has so many rebounds.
Good learning game for LSU, they’ll have a lot to improve on watching this film back.
1. Slow adjusting to breaking Ole Miss full court press in the second half.
2. Morrow got to find her footing in SEC play.
@@u2nice3079morrow will be ok.. Hailey needs to find her footing and I don’t mean chasing the other players from behind as they run past you going straight to the goal lol! Get your defense up HVL
I think LSU has just got to get faster...not lights out but just more on defense... Get ahead then slow control the game
@@the_one9801And to add to that please stop throwing the damn ball away she had 7 turnovers the first half POA gotta get more mins bc this won’t end well ! Oh HVL also need to stop all that damn fouling she foul out damn near every game
@@user-gc3fs1tm9c look HVL and the other four guards on the floor are simply playing out of their natural positions. Mulkey is going to have to play this team like it's five guards on the floor. They don't have a center or a true point guard or power forward but that's coach Mulkey style she just doesn't have the personnel for her system she gonna have to make adjustments based on the players she has IMO
the college games way better than the wnba by far
The sellout of fans in the stands helps!! If i were wnba id give away tickets to sell out
Absolutely
Yeah I thought I was the only who thought that
Women’s College Basketball Is Better than the WNBA Because they have more support from the fans then in the wnba
I appreciate the amount of people that came out those young ladies at Ole Miss deserve fans their defense is superb...Coach Yo program was the second choice of both FlauJae and Mikila if they had their fire power it be ugly
Im going to start watching their games..if they play at kentucky i will go.
@@kentuckylucky5762 looks like we’ll see you in Lexington on February 29th!!
Ole Miss is at UK on 2.29.24 🔥.
olemisssports.com/sports/womens-basketball/schedule
If only we can get that type of crowd every game hopefully this game make them come out more
HVL be pissing me off 😭
Mikaylah ball IQ and handling are impeccable #teamwilliams
Mikaylah Williams is something to see! 💜💛
Thank you ole miss for this fired up game. Haven’t seen lsu so worked up over defense in a long time.
Crazy thing is Mikayla is a freshmen and still haven’t reach her ceiling.
and she’s still the best player on the team too
Lots of room for growth
LSU needs to work on their offense during full court press. Good job pushing through it to get that win.
Flau'jae games is so tough.. She has to be considered DPO thus far in the season!!!!!! And the plays she makes offensively consistently each game are so smooth and rarely seen in the woman's game: double pumps at the rim, pump fake- euro step- up and under.. drive baseline into double team- split double team- one dribble to the middle of the court- pullup- bucket.. pin down screen- catch on the move- one dribble right- crossover to the left- pullup- bucket.. triple threat off the screen screen- jab left- drive right one dribble- ball in the air with one hand (showing it like Deion Sanders on Prime Time in open field)- finger roll with contact- Layyyyyyyy.. Like.... Chill out big 4 lol.
Mikayla embarrassed the shit out of Number 5 on Ole Miss 😂😂😂😂😂 I felt embarrassed for her
She also made some impactful plays on both ends of the floor in the second half.
I only have 6 things to say about that play:
"dun-dun-DUN dun-dun-DUN"
Sportscenter theme
Makila has really great offensive skills and just knows the game
That was epic lol
@@politicallil7060 I've been watching they play for years in the fiba 3x3! Her and Van L. Been on the US teams.
Im so happy they both chose LSU 😭
I just love this LSU group! Of course the championship group was amazing but this group is 🔥🔥🔥
Ole Miss has a wonderful coach and team!!!Great defenders in the SEC!!
Baby these chicks were hooping make no mistake about it...a great game
Ole Miss, you ladies played a really good game but you have to work on your shots. Mikayla Williams is always in the gym and it shows. This was a great game to watch, I know we will see Coach Yo and her squad again.
I wish Poa had more confidence
She has plenty of confidence.. Kim needs to give her the start!
She does if you watched her progress from last season but i agree this particular game she was off.
Over who ??@@the_one9801
i really have a love/hate relationship with hailey man…she makes amateur mistakes and makes tough sometimes clutch shots.
She needs to just be a shooting guard...was ok at point against teams that have so so guards..but when u get a fast good point guard especially a tall fast guard she cant defend well enough..i feel for her trying to learn guard duties as 4 yr player...up to Mulkey her call
Same…
@@kentuckylucky5762I feel like she is here to learn the point because in the wnba she is too small to play the 2.
@@datruth1294 yep she wanted to learn pt guard from mulkey....and have a better chance at winning a national championship. She would of played originally at baylor for Mulkey...but she wasnt a pt guard and would of had to sit bench as a shooting guard..so went to Louisville.

lol
😂😂😂
i love watching these games but they get away with SO many travels!
But get called for charging when not.. I counted 8 incorrect charging calls total on both sides..then 4 that were missed..way too many by refs at this level
Who think they winning the SC game?
They got a real chance if the play right
I think they have a real good chance but they’ve got to clean up the mistakes.: Also, HVL gotta get better, she had a lot of sloppy passes and she kept going to the side and getting trapped when they were being pressed.. after seeing that, other teams will probably put the pressure on her..
It's on Williams, she's the x factor. If they going to beat SC she's going to need bout 30pts. Everybody else will be held below their avg.
This was a good game and I enjoyed watching. I wasn't a fan of the "passive aggressive shade about Mulkey's outfit." It was catty and unnecessary. If you're a sport journalist talk about sports. Whether I like the outfit or not isn't the point. It was off putting.
I thought the same! Kim Mulkey has been on the scene for how many years now? Do we really need to discuss her outfit every single game? You watch a men’s game and the focus from the commentators is on the talent on the court - it should be the same focus on the women’s side. We don’t need an “outfit of the day” segment every LSU game. It’s so tired and not at all entertaining like the network thinks it is.
Yall know nobody dress like Mulky.
@@MH-pj2hnwhy do you expect a men’s commentator to speak on similar things that women commentators do. She’s been teased about her outfits before. It’s a joke. She even said that sometimes she’s like wth am I wearing.
Lsu love all
I honestly think HVL is being forced to be good poa is better then her defensively and offensively
Poa is not an offensive threat… check the numbers.. also Poa learned this system. HVL is learning it. Also ole miss played her like that because she beat them in tournament last season.
@@datruth1294 hvl is a turnover machine
They both have what the other needs. With Poa, we are essentially playing 4 on 5 against teams that can score from all 5 positions because she's not a scoring threat. With HVL, we are essentially playing 4 on 5 on defense because she can't defend if her life depended on it.
@@fitnesswithsarai5992this actually not turn. She actually runs the floor well. She turned over so many times in this game because they double teamed her and they are bigger than her so she couldn’t see the space. Plus she beat that same team last year so they were out to guard the way they did. But LSU has the best starting 5
@@datruth1294the last thing those girls thinking about is last year. They play how they played HVL, that on Mulky though she supposed had already coached that up.
HVl needs to work on getting the ball downcourt a whole lot faster. Ole Miss press was all over her.
Were it me, I would swap Van Lith and Williams in the 1 and 2.
It’s cause she is small. But she can move the ball. You’re asking a shooting guard to be a point guard when she’s been playing the same position for her entire life
@@youngbeauty1663 i agree that its not a natural fit for her, but i guess Mulkey will decide what to do.
HVL becoming a liability for lsu on defense smh
Becoming? Been that all season.
@@nottoomuch87 i agree
I have not been impressed considering all the hype coming in...
@@jondude5182 She had to do more at Louisville because she was the #1 player on the team so I didn’t expect her to do the same at LSU she’s playing with players that are better than her. She’ll come threw for them when tournament time comes around and they need her the most 💯
The turn overs are absolutely ridiculous by hvl
Good W LSU
SHOUTOUT TO THE TEAM
The press can cause issues for LSU. Their coach definitely needs to figure that out.
Time for angel to get in the weight gym they bullying my girl 💪🏾 go 🐯
If it wasn't for her height she wouldn't be worth the hype
Go LSU Lady Tigers! very competitive! Win lady Tigers!!
Can we please get the #15Utah vs Arizona game
We'll have it uploaded Monday morning
@@WomensBasketballAlliance u are awesome thanks
College games the best !!!
What’s that nickname that she called Aneesah ?
Big 4 defense
THEY MISS KATERI POOLE..
right. bc poa, as valuable as she may be, is not capable of running pg
Yep.. And smith..hope she is healing post op!! I also miss morris and jasmine😊..
@@kentuckylucky5762Heavy on Morris and jasmine I wish we could’ve got a True Point I like poa but nah that’s not enough her handles not where it should be and her abilities to read the floor
I miss her ! I knew when it got ready for SEC play she will be missed HVL just not it when it come to point
@@kentuckylucky5762ladazia Williams too bc when angel wasn’t hitting we could depend on Williams in the post
Ok girl ankles is outta here
Guys I've been looking at CROOKS from IOWA STATE i think she's a good baller for LSU next season
Did you see the elbow by angel Reese
THET MISS KATERI POOLE...
I mean...not really.. there are others I miss alot more
Angel gotta get more aggressive
This was a good road win but this team still plays too much selfish one-on-one basketball.
Selfish? All 5 starters were in double digits and everyone was passing to one another. Of course they have things to work on, but I don’t think “selfish” is accurate.
@@HannahHannahBoBana Yes, selfish. They take way too many difficult contested shots against double and triple teams when they could just pass to an open teammate.
Lsu was carrying in traveling so much the referee did not call any of them
Bro geaux be a ref then and stop whining and crying about a game.....WNBA isn't any better
Bruh on one of the first few positions they called Hvl for a carry.
The amount of turnover HVL has had in this game smh
When she kept going to the side and getting trapped and turning over the ball.:.ugh.. it drove me crazy.. you can bet other teams watched that and will be all over her…. I sure miss Luthor… Can you image what this team would look like if they had AM?
@@kekeinthehole exactly flajaue has improved significantly this season. So much confidence. Morrows is a beast. When MW gets hots she unstoppable. I thought that when hvl got to lsu she was going to ball out but i think they got her in the wrong position she should not be a point guard. AM was so clutch. If she was still playing omg it was going to be amazing.
Ole Miss will beat them in the SEC tournament
Nah. In march LSUis going to be a monster. A press won’t even phase them.
South Carolina gonna whip em real good!!
Great WIN but i wish we had Samia Smith back also gonna need a pure POINT GUARD also these two announcers GOTTA GO we they never played the game yet they have something to say if HVL continues to leave people open we are going to loose game Angel Reese needs to get better fast change her gameplay up she's still doing what she did last season
The referee cheated old miss
Bye. If you look at the box score ole miss had 27 free throws to LSU’S 22.
Ref looked the other way on Reese
straight arm layup.
Dirty player and whiner. 🤫
