- HAMMOND, La. - Flau’Jae Johnson led the Tigers past Southeastern, 73-50, on Friday night in head coach Kim Mulkey’s return to Tangipahoa parish as she secured her first double-double of the season. Johnson led all scorers with 17 points with 11 rebounds and 4 steals.
“Flau’Jae is recovering from the flu and she’s come off the bench like a superstar,” Coach Mulkey said. “That’s what I tell kids all the time - it’s not about starting, it’s about production. She was our spark against Kent State. She was our spark tonight.”
There was a record crowd inside the Pride Roofing University Center of 7,500 to see Coach Mulkey in her homecoming.
“Let’s talk about this great crowd,” Coach Mulkey said. “Kudos to Southeastern, their athletic department. I was proud of Southeastern. I was proud of my team. I was proud of everybody in that arena. When I took the job at LSU, I said I wanted to come back to this state and be a positive and I felt like tonight, this was a positive for women’s basketball in our state.”
Three other tigers eclipsed double figures in LSU’s 23-point win over the Lady Lions. Mikaylah Williams dropped 13 after breaking the LSU freshman scoring record on Tuesday earlier this week. Hailey Van Lith added 12 on 5-7 from the field with 2 three-pointers.
Transfer Annesah Morrow wasn’t the only player to earn her first double-double of the season. She joined Johnson as she put up 10 points and 10 boards in her fifth game at LSU. Last-Tear Poa broke a record of her own as she had a career-high six rebounds.
SLU’s Hailey Giaratano, a distant relative of Coach Mulkey’s, and Kennedy Paul each had 12 points to lead their squad. Giaratano went 4-14 and added 4 rebounds while Paul was 5-10 with a three and six boards.
The Tigers totaled 41-percent from the field compared to SLU’s 37-percent. LSU out rebounded SLU 44-29 and scored 34 points in the paint. LSU made 17 of its 20 free throws while the Lady Lions only made 5-9. The game was tied four times but LSU never trailed and had its largest lead of 29.
“Angel (Reese) was not in uniform tonight,” Coach Mulkey said. “Angel is a part of our basketball team and we hope to see her sooner than later.”
LSU will return to action on Monday night as it hosts Texas Southern at 7:00 p.m. inside the Pete Maravich Assembly Center as the team travels to the Cayman Islands Classic over the Thanksgiving break. The Tigers are slated to play Niagara on Friday at 12:30 p.m. and Virginia on Saturday at 4:00 p.m.
The Tigers battled early as SLU hit three-pointers on its first two attempts from the field to tie it up 6-6. After things were knotted up 8-8, Williams and Johnson combined for a 8-2 run to make it 16-10 with four to play. LSU extended its lead to 10 as it held the Lady Lions scoreless for the final five minutes of the opening quarter.
LSU extended its margin through the start of the second as four Tigers scored in the first three minutes of the quarter. Johnson crashed the offensive board for a put back lay to push LSU to the 30-point mark. Rebounds on the offensive glass allowed LSU to keep at least a ten point lead for the most of the quarter. SLU outscored the Tigers 21-20 in the second to head into the break down by 9.
LSU scored 14 of its first half points from the free throw line and 16 of its total was secured inside the paint. SLU was 4-9 from three point range while LSU connected on 2-9. The Tigers hauled in 22 boards and only allowed SLU to pick up 3 of its rebounds on the offensive glass. Johnson came off the bench to lead all players with 11 points on 5-7 and 7 rebounds.
The Tigers held its lead as they did not allow an SLU field goal in the first five minutes of action. LSU earned its largest lead of the night as it outscored SLU 12-2 in the first five minutes of the Third quarter. After the media timeout Johnson found Van Lith in the corner for a pull-up trey and gave LSU a 22-point advantage. Johnson followed a play later with a coast to coast finish to bring her total to 17. LSU went on to hold the Lady Lions without a free throw until the final minute of the quarter. The Tigers headed into the final quarter with a 62-38 lead.
Johnson secured her first double-double of the season with just under eight minutes to play as she picked up her sixth defensive rebound, tenth total. Van Lith eclipsed double digits as she hit her second trey of the night to add 12 points total for LSU. The Tigers were outscored 12-11 in the final quarter but its 22-7 third quarter boosted LSU to its fourth straight victory.
Flau'jae just gets better and better, whether its off the bench or whatever... she balls out either way🔥🔥
I think her mom wants Kim to let the girl loose it's FlauJae time now
It's her team now they got Reese out the way... nice move for her mom... so now her daughter can be the dominant star get that recognition as the teams megastar. It's not Reese fault she got sucker punched, but I'm sorry the Bible is clear "trust no man" or women for that matter its always someone plotting to get your spot and it's usually the person standing right next to you pretending they supporting you. I'm telling you that girl's mom is a slick operator and shrewd as they come. But hey hats off after all when it comes to money it chess and Reese just got checkmated.
Flau’jae is truly an all around ball player 🔥
1. She’s great in the post
2. She’s great at the perimeter
3. She does the basics that a lot of players don’t…like “FOLLOW YOUR SHOT!” That’s how she gets so many rebounds and she box out
4. She plays her own pace in either post or perimeter (most of the time).
5. AND she (joyfully) looks for her teammates
Williams right with her tho ❤
Definitely, grabbing a ticket 🎫
If she “follows through” with her shooting mechanics….won’t need to rebound a miss.
@@marcusb.3038 I totally agree but her awareness (early in her career) to understand not ever shot she takes is going in but how she recovers is equally as important is only a benefit to her team. It’s a confidence builder.
Imagine: Shot a three, miss it, get your own rebound, and then get a and 1.
@@mermaidmia8499 good to follow your shot. But, if you know where to put your hands on the ball, know what dominant finger(s)(put on the center of the ball)you are, not let your guide hand affect your shot in any way, keep your elbow in line with the basket, when releasing the ball put elbow above the ear, then you’ll be like Mikayla Williams, shooting 67% from the field. That opens the game up for you and your teammates.
@@marcusb.3038 That is definitely the truth “mechanics” are a major part of the game. That’s built “more” in the off season with reps. Playing where your at in the season and knowing your weak points while making adjustments for them is a vet move. Every player has their strengths and weakness but adjusting for them in season and correcting during off season is key. Nobody perfect.
I love this team so much it’s all going to come together by tournament time. Flau’jae Mikaylah and Aneesha together in the lineup is dangerous 💯
LSU defense is getting much better. Team synergy on the offense is still a work in progress. Can still see some ball-hogging and forced shooting. Lady Tigers, ask not how many points you can get for yourselves, but how many team points you can pile over your opponent. Look for a who's in the best position to score with high probability and it's not always you. Geaux Tigers!
Facts
I have been screaming this for weeks! They would rather take a forced bad shot than pass to the person in the best position to score, and that's because they haven't learned to be a team yet. Everything is so individual.
Reese plays this game is so close hats off to southeastern they played a great game
Love the way you play. And you and your mom were wonderful on the Rap game,
Half of the people at the game are there to see Angel Reese!!!! Think about that Kim Mulkey!
See her do what? Drama queen.
@@Umakemelaff Rebound,score, and play defense and look good while during it.
No, they are there to see two louisiana teams play, and their hometown legend back home.
@@Umakemelaffgrown ass man…😂 tighten up
.......1/5th😂
LSU...right now...reminds me of the movie...Lean on Me...LSU Lady Tigers will need its best player...Angel "Bayou Battlefield Barbie" Reese...ALL IN...if they expect to weather the storm from South Carolina and the rest of the stout women's NCAA basketball field if they expect to successfully defend their title in the 2023-2024 campaign...Angel will be ok...and...better...from her current "valley" experience right now...To the "Caitlin" crowd with selective amnesia...Caitlin Clark did the same "Can You See Me" jesture to HVL...Yes...that HVL who is now on the Lady Tigers roster this year who was at Louisville last year...If Angel is not your cup of tea...then that's fine but be civil and fair in your critique and no athlete is an "Angel" when it comes to competitive banter and wanting to be the best...including Caitlin...
Nobody cares
@@DankDankPancake People will care when this " sleeping giant" wakes up and SEC conference play starts...LSU and South Carolina games this year will be " epic"...
Good game can't complain great too see 2 L teams play and i know we're about hear drama about why REESE didn't play god's plan nuff said LSU LADIES 👍🏀👏👏👏
Our daughter interviewed 2 of these players on the court right now. J.Pierre and M.Williams while they were in high school. Our daughter ( Jada Ward)was a sideline reporter for LGR- Louisiana Girls Ranking.
BIG 4 cooking 🔥🔥
GEAUX TIGERS!!!..🐅💜💛💍🏆
So what happened with Angel Reese ? Why isn’t she playing with them 🤨👀
you can tell a lot by the teams bench
Big JENeral JEN PIERRE. And SLU GREAT GAME!!!!!
Let me explain to why Angel was barely played last game since people are trying to create drama around this team Angel was being doubled and tripled teamed KIM MULKEY saw what was going on and to keep her from getting injured decided to keep her safe
@@reshimarene she still has to work on her defensive game her shot Blocking when she MASTERS it she'll be even better 🤗
I bet that's the largest crowd the womens team has ever had.
I feel so bad for all the LSU ladies who can’t seem to shake the Reese notoriety. The championship should have had more talk about Alexis Morris and Flau J. Let the girl go be her and shine the attention to the LSU girls.
can you post arizona vs memphis?
where is angel?

She’s got homework to do😂
@@richard_M7116Angel Reese is seeking God and praying she knows the devil is at her door only God can tear down stronghold and fight the devil in JESUS name
@@richard_M7116 Nah this is fake issue to distract for the real issues
If I was her I'd be at home figuring out how to graduate and get gone with my degree. I don't see her returning to the team because there is really nowhere she could play on the floor. She is the odd person out. I'd sit the year then transfer to a school that could use her skill set because LSU doesn't need anything she has to offer. Its unfortunate that she advocated for recruits that actually wind up leading to her replacement. I know that's got to hurt. Hope baby girl lands on her feet.
Angel thinks she is the system, Harden style, coach Mulkey showing who is boss 😂😂😂
Flau’jae….😂
LSU has one of the weakest non-conference schedules in the country. It’s called record-padding. It’s hard to vote against the number 1 rated team in the country in polls when they don’t lose……but, they’re not playing any real competition. It’s disappointing that LSU has decided to go this route instead of challenging their team and better preparing them for March with a schedule worthy of a top tiered program.
They'll be challenged during conference. Relax buddy.
LSU heard that weak non-conference schedule stuff last year and still won the championship.. So now what?..🤫
@@jigenprime6613it’s not about being able to win a championship anybody can win one. it’s about the fact these girls/fans should want better for their program. they should want to be able to say they beat uconn @ uconn, or they beat stanford @ stanford, or any of the other powerhouse programs that are not in the sec. the fact these high level recruits could probably go through their entire collegiate careers without playing uconn/stanford/ucla, etc. is extremely sad. considering folks want to call them the best. you can’t be the best until you beat the best. 🤷
@@jjaylannianybody can’t win a NCAA championship please stop.
@@mojo_pheeFacts💯
The drama team😹 .... i hate to say it ... but SC is winning this year
At this point it’s anyone’s game. Hopefully SC this season don’t lose at the wrong time. Baylor vs SC would be an interesting matchup in a tournament.
Who df cares the same team doesn’t win every year, LSU won the school their first ever natty women OR men & beat IOWA who had Caitlyn Clark considerably the best women bball player ever & Monika C that would be enough for me.
@@allebesu7049definitely not the best ever , that goes to breanna Stewart who only lost 5 games and won 4 championships in her college career
Y’all said SC was winning last year and they didn’t lol
@@WO2411 Caitlin decided to be ultra intincts in the final four ... and LSU Jasmine was on drugs in the finals ...so God happened
They not playing nobody they only playing small schools
did you just start watching basketball or something?
@@kweezy2377 no I’ve been watching basketball the Mississippi Valley State have no chance of beating LSU anytime any day I like Connecticut Huskies because they’re not scared to play competition in nonconference
@@adonishickembottom4770they lost to an unranked team what are you talking about
@@cantgetright6508 yes but they always competing for a national championship
@@cantgetright6508bro don't act like UConn lost to a nobody to NC state who had won back 2 back ACC titles before Virginia Tech won the tournament last and plus they played Maryland and pretty much spanked them LSU has played no one but Colorado 😂😂
I hope LSU fall on their face again - my bet is no NCAA Champs in 2024 for any sport!
Their sports teams are always about ?the coach's authority and less about enabling the best players' abilities!!
Name the sport and you'll find examples of their authoritarian tendencies...
for goodness' sake, lighten up, progress is not about YOUR LEGACY, Dodos!!
Don't let hate feel your heart it's just ladies college basketball have a cup of JESUS and relax
This dude needs a xanax
Oh my God😳
@bbickham5715 I don't think it's hate. when humans see injustice or unfairness why would we want this to succeed?
at the end of the day y’all still don’t know what’s going on, y’all talking based off assumptions…if you not in the locker room everyday STFU !
it's Lith....not Leeth
