All five starters reached double figures for No. 9 LSU (25-4, 12-3 SEC) on Thursday night as the Tigers ran away from Georgia (12-16, 3-12 SEC), 80-54. The crowd of 7,406 inside Stegeman Coliseum was the largest for a women’s basketball game at Georgia since 2012.
With the win on Thursday night, LSU locked the No. 2 seed in the SEC for the third year in a row and the Tigers will play next Friday in Greenville, South Carolina at 5 p.m. CT.
Angel Reese finished the night with a double-double after scoring 17 points and hauling in 15 rebounds. She now has 19 double-doubles on the season. Aneesah Morrow recorded her 17th double-double with 16 points and 10 boards. Morrow added a new season high of 5 assists.
“I never take that for granted,” Coach Kim Mulkey said of having two players who consistently get double-doubles. “I always tell our coaches, we see those kids everyday and we see what they do in games- we can’t take it for granted. What they do in getting double-doubles, Angel and Morrow, that doesn’t just happen. Those rebounds don’t just fall in their lap. Those points don’t just happen, They work in there.”
Hailey Van Lith led all scorers with 18 points that featured 4 made three-pointers and a perfect 4-4 from the foul line. Flau’Jae Johnson finished with 14 points as she played in her home state of Georgia for the first time as a Tiger. Mikaylah Williams rounded out the starting five that reached double digits with 11 points.
Javyn Nicholson led the Bulldogs with 17 points on 7-13 from the field and 5 rebounds. Asia Avinger added 10 points with a pair of three pointers. No other Bulldogs reached double figures.
The Tigers went 32-71 from the field for 45-percent compared to Georgia’s 21-58 and 36-percent from the field. LSU only allowed 9 turnovers while forcing 16 and scoring 20 points off those turnovers. LSU won the rebounding battle 43-25 and outscored the Bulldogs in the paint by 30, 38-8.
LSU is slated to return home for a match up against Kentucky on Sunday at 1 p.m. CT inside the PMAC on the SEC Network. It will be the final contest before the conference tournament that will begin on March 8th in Greenville, SC.
Morrow scored the first six of LSU’s points as the Tigers took a 8-5 lead before the opening timeout. Morrow was 3-3 from the field in the first three minutes of action. After the timeout, Morrow added a couple more and Williams knocked down a triple to force Georgia to call its first 30-second timeout. Avinger made a pair of threes to lead the Bulldogs on a 8-2 run that cut the LSU lead to two. The Tigers extended their lead to 9 before the end of the quarter as Van Lith connected on a three-point buzzer beater, her third straight game with a last-second shot to end a quarter.
After a quick bucket from Georgia, LSU went on an 8-0 run to take a 15-point advantage 4 minutes into the second quarter. Morrow reached double figures with 3:30 minutes to play in the first half. Williams split two defenders in transition to find Reese downcourt for an easy lay that gave the Tigers their first 20 point lead of the night. LSU took a 45-23 lead into the break after the Tigers outscored the Bulldogs 21-8 in the second quarter. Both Reese and Morrow finished the half with 12 points each while the pair combined for 12 of the team’s 22 rebounds.
LSU scored 24 points in the first half to outscore Georgia’s total points of 23. The Tigers were dominant on the glass with 9 more boards than their opponent, 22-13. Just one Bulldog scored more than six points while LSU had all five starters with 6 points or more in the first half.
The Tigers opened the third on a 7-0 run to move its margin to 29 before the media break just under three minutes into the action. Savannah Henderson broke the field goal drought for Georgia with a triple to move back within 30. Late in the quarter LSU was unable to score for the final 3:30, while UGA scored 14 unanswered points to make it a 15-point LSU lead heading to the fourth.
Morrow ended the 16-0 Georgia run with a second chance putback to put the Tigers back up by 15 with over 8 minutes remaining in regulation. LSU built off the much needed bucket to produce a 9-0 run and hold the Bulldogs scoreless for over 4 minutes. The Tigers held a 73-48 lead at the final media timeout. LSU rode it lead and cruised to its 7th consecutive win, 80-54. - Спорт
I am a lifelong S. Carolina Fan, however, I adore the style of play by Aneesah Morrow!!!! She is a BEAST!
They haven’t even peaked yet, no team has seen their best.
I've watched every game this year & at this point they have definitely turnt it up a notch
Once Angel develops that jump shot it’s over!!!
This is why I think she should stay another year and take that Covid year.
@@SierraSmith-mp7wv I agree! The wnba is always going to be there. She’s a certified lotto pick
The Showtime Tigers. Geaux Tigers
Good to see HVL silencing her critics (LSU fans)
I seen this coming… it’s all downhill for the other teams from here on out😅😅😅 they were trying to find chemistry and trust with all those new players, working out plays, working on defense and still have only 4 losses. However, ppl forget about the atomic bombs they have in the starting 5😂😂😂😂 and the bench is better than ppl think Ayo this is tooo good 🎉🎉🎉#LSUiscoming
Right like last year the bench in the finally n won the game....I think they will be the secret weapon waiting until the very end
Their only hope is for some other team to knock off South Carolina in the tourney. lol
That last play from LSU before the half, that’s what you call good basketball 💜💛
They played a lovely game...... well done lady tigers🎉🎉🎉🎉#Lsu
Aneesah went off🔥
I've been away for over 10yrs now and only started watching basketball regularly again because of this LSU team. Such a joy to watch!
The balance and scoring power spread across so many players is crazy. Any of 5 girls can absolutely light you up on a given day and they are defensively fierce. But there's something about their passion and belief that kicks in at points that takes them to another level. Love this team!
Georgia crowd was great.
I’m a huge fan of LSU good job tigers
18:53 Hailey went all the way to Baton Rouge with that shot
21:00 Just to be clear, we're not calling travel at all...
I love morrow game
This game was a blow out
Love the homegrown talent of Aneesha Morrow..Simeon stand up!!
Big 4!!!!!!!!❤
Hailey, Flau’jae, and Angel really told the haters to “shut the hell up” these past 3 games. 🔥🔥🔥Also, I don’t know if anyone has noticed this but….does it seem like whenever Hailey plays, her eyes are super wide open and she looks like she can’t breathe? The way I’d describe it is like an “out of breath deer in the headlights.” I don’t know if it’s a habit that she has that she either isn’t aware of or is aware of, but that’s just how it is for her or…..if it’s something that she just can’t control like a medical thing. Now that’s not to hate on her or pick on her because that’s not my intentions….she’s an amazing player and a beautiful young lady….that’s just something that I’ve noticed with a lot of her games, even going back to Louisville.
I think she opened up her eyes wide and seen all those hateful comments about her game and proceeded to put belt to azz😅😅😅
@@nextdayheir3329no not that….I mean even before she ever came to LSU, I noticed it with her Louisville games especially the one against Iowa….she seems to almost always have that look on her face when she plays and I was curious as to if it’s just a habit that she has, or if it’s something that she is aware of but simply can’t control that easily.
😂 Better than playing with her eyes shut.
it seems like that’s her “locked in” face. i’ve noticed it too 😭
@@Blommer-hk9lithat’s not what I meant 💀 she just always looks out of breath when she plays.
Finally🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉. Thank you❤❤❤
I know right!!

5:38 how is that not an intentional foul? 😂 she literally stuck her foot out and tripped her
Naaaatttty 2 years in a Row angel gone get 3 from LSU
Love lsu
Georgia CLEARLY scared to go in the paint
I think Mikaylah Williams has definitely hit a freshman wall. She's looking very fatigued out there.
I was thinking she has been quiet lately. . Hopefully she shakes back soon.
@haybaybay14 I think it's fatigue and injury
@11:00 mark i love dat move Angel! 💯💪🏾
Do you still upload South Carolina games ?
Here's the SC/Kentucky game from Robbie Robinson's channel: ua-cam.com/video/0nAysemJKDU/v-deo.htmlsi=Njej9wBtRU1HY1uI
In a perfect world, I would have 30 minute recaps of every SC game, but Robbie does such a great job uploading Gamecock content which allows me to focus on the long list of other game requests from fans.
Number 11 on Georgia got nice ball handle… she was crossing the hell out of hailey lol
it's possible full game maryland winsconsin pleasee
LSU women are on fire and prep'd for another Natty

who is the other white girl o the bench for lsu I never seen her play yet is she injured...
She’s a walk on.
I said same thing last year. All I see her doing is celebrating with her team. When ever lsu score 😂
Right? Good question.
She’s a great defensive player.
That's Izzy Besselman,she's healthy. She's a walk-on player ( non- scholarship). She and Amani Bartlett hardly ever play. It's ridiculous. If they can't play, that's two spots on the roster that could have gone to more productive players.
Bro WHY are all of LSU games on your channel but not South Carolina? Why are you acting like they are not a championship team and completely undefeated right now?!? Yes LSU is the reigning champ BUT to act like SC is not having a flawless season and don’t deserve the same amount of recognition OR MORE is crazy !
