BATON ROUGE — Angel Reese scored 30 and recorded her 19th straight double-double, tying Sylvia Fowles’ LSU record as No. 3 LSU holds off Arkansas 79-76 in a thriller Thursday night in the PMAC. Both teams battled all four quarters as it came down to the final minutes of the game that saw two lead changes and crucial free throws.

“It was a good game,”  We dominated the boards, which we did the last time we played them. Sometimes you leave and just say ‘that was a good game.’ It was a good game for women’s basketball. Good game for the SEC. Great student section tonight, first time we have seen them in forever.

In front of a raucous crowd and the student section dubbed “Kim’s Krewe,” Angel Reese had 30 points and 19 rebounds while Flau’jae Johnson had 19 points and 6 rebounds, hitting four key free throws in the games final minute to ice the game away.

“I did not even feel nervous,” Johnson said of stepping to the line twice with the game on the line. “I shoot that shot every day, and I make that shot every day. I just got to do what I do.”

Reese continues to tie and break records in her first year at LSU, recording a double-double in every game this year. It is the longest double-double streak in SEC history to begin a season. Fowles set her record throughout the middle part of her junior season in a stretch that ran from December 30, 2006 through March 3, 2007. Reese is averaging 23.9 points (1st SEC, 6th NCAA) and 15.4 rebounds (1st SEC, 2nd NCAA) per game this year.

“I just try to step up and be a leader and bring our team together,” Reese said. “Some of our teammates have not been in a moment like this, so I just tried to guide them and keep them poised and calm.”

 

Reese and Fowles are now tied for the second longest streak of consecutive double-doubles, trailing on South Carolina’s Aliyah Boston who recorded 27 in a row last season.
 

 

The Tigers are slated to take on Alabama in Tuscaloosa on Monday night at 6 p.m. CT on the SEC Network. LSU’s next home game will be Monday, January 30 at 6 p.m. on the SEC Network – a White Out game.

 

LSU dominated the glass hauling in 51 total rebounds compared to Arkansas’ 26. Just as they did against Arkansas on December 29 in Fayetteville, Reese and Williams combined to outrebound the entire Arkansas team.

The Tigers got off to a hot start as they opened up the quarter on a 7-0 run all within the first minute of the game. Arkansas called a timeout at the nine minute mark to regroup and responded with a three to snap the LSU run. Johnson led the Tigers on another 7-0 run as she scored 5 points within a minute. With four minutes to go in the quarter the Razorbacks put together a 6-0 run to shorten the LSU lead to seven. The Tigers ended the opening quarter on a five-minute scoring drought only making 1 of its last 8 field goals. LSU ended the quarter with a 22-16 lead. 

Reese broke the drought after sinking two free throws to extend the LSU lead back to seven. Carson scored her tenth points of the night as Reese picked up a block, drove across the court and found Carson on the wing for the open trey. At the first media timeout LSU led, 29-19, and looked to regroup as it was called for 4 personal fouls in the first five minutes of the quarter. After shooting 5 for 6 through the middle of the second quarter LSU ended the quarter 0-for-4 and went into the break with a 38-30 lead. 

A minute and a half into the third, Reese earned her tenth rebound to tie Sylvia Fowles’ record for the longest streak of double-doubles in program history (19). At the five-minute mark Reese had recorded nine points all in the third quarter. Reese then lost a shoe in transition to defense, picked up the shoe with one hand and made a huge block with the other hand. Reese scored 9 points in a row for LSU just before forcing a timeout with 3:30 left in the third. The Razorbacks came out of the timeout and scored five unanswered points to make it a 3-point game. Reese made two crucial free throws before time expired and gave LSU a 4-point lead to head into the final quarter, 61-57.  

Arkansas kept things close to start the fourth as it started to chip away at the LSU lead. Arkansas tied the game with 6:45 to play and then took the lead with a Daniels three to make it 69-66. Alexis Morris quickly responded on the following possession with a three of her own to knot things up at 69. The Razorbacks continued to find success from behind the arc as Daniels hit her second trey of the quarter to make it 72-69, Arkansas. Reese scored another tough layup with three minutes left in regulation to cut the Razorback lead to one, 74-73. The Tigers took the lead as Morris weaved through defenders and a finger roll finish made it 75-74, LSU. Arkansas won possession on a ball that was hit out of bounds and was then held to a shot clock violation by the Tiger defense with under a minute to go. 

With 20 seconds to go Arkansas’ Barnum put up a three that bounced off the back iron and into the hands of Reese. Johnson was fouled at midcourt and went 2-2 from the line to give the Tigers a 77-74 lead with 16 seconds left in regulation. L. Williams fouled out with 6 seconds to play and sent Samara Spencer to the foul stripe to shoot two, Spencer made both. LSU got the ball in quickly and got the ball to Johnson who was fouled and made two more free throws to make it 79-76. The freshman’s clutch four free throws within the final seconds secured the 79-76 victory for LSU.

BATON ROUGE, Ala. – For the conference leading fifth time this season, Angel Reese was named SEC Player of the Week on Tuesday, this time after two more double-doubles to make it 20 straight and break Sylvia Fowles’ LSU record.

Reese has led LSU to a 20-0 record as LSU is one of just two remaining unbeaten teams in the country. The Tigers will return to the court next Monday when they host Tennessee at 6 p.m. for a whiteout game in the PMAC.

In LSU’s 79-76 win over Arkansas on Thursday, Reese had 30 points and 19 rebounds. She put up 14 points and 14 rebounds Monday at Alabama to set the LSU record with her 20^th double-double in a row.

Reese currently leads the SEC in both scoring (23.7 ppg) and rebounding (15.5 rpg). She is in a land of her own as she averages nearly five more points than anyone in the league and nearly six more rebounds than the next closest player in the SEC. Her scoring averaged ranks fifth in the country and rebounding ranks second.

She has scored at least 20 points in 17 games and has reached 30 points three times. On the rebounding front, she has at least 15 boards in 12 games.

LSU is in a pretty good game with the Vols.  They are down by 1 to the Vols midway thru the 2nd period.  Got a good chuckle out of Kim going postal when the Tigers played matador D for a couple of series and gave up some easy points.

That was a hell of a game.  Mid way through the 4th period, I didn't think we had a chance of winning.

Kim was left with a failed roster, kind of like many of the LSU Coaches. Kim will get this team together, Kim is by far the better coach. It takes players. Kim and Dawn both started as Head Coaches in 2000. Kim had 3 NC, before Dawn had two. Winning %, Kim as a head coach 86%, Dawn 75%. 
 

I don’t think LSU/Woody could have found a better woman’s Coach. She will win a NC, when is the question. 
 

Just a matter of time.

In her second year at LSU, with a record of 46–6 (.885). Ranked in the top 5. It’s taken Dawn 15 years to get where she is. Won’t take Kim anywhere near that long. I’m enjoying this.

BATON ROUGE — No. 5 LSU (27-1, 15-1) matched the best regular season record in program history (2004-05) on senior day as the Tigers defeated Mississippi State (20-9, 9-7 SEC) 74-59 in front of a record crowd in the PMAC.

LSU will play in the SEC Tournament in Greenville, S.C. next Friday at 5 p.m. CT as the No. 2 seed against the winner of No. 10 Auburn and No. 7 Georgia 

The rowdy crowd of 15,721 broke the all-time attendance record for any event held in the Pete Maravich Assembly Center. 

Standout transfer, Angel Reese, continued to write her name in the record books as she tied LSU legend Sylvia Fowles for most double-doubles in a single season with 27. Reese scored 23 points and hauled in 26 boards. Reese’s 26 rebounds were her second highest of the season, she recorded a program record 28 against Texas A&M.  

Fellow transfer, LaDazhia Williams, dropped 16 and recorded 4 rebounds in the win. Alexis Morris put together another great performance and tied Reese to lead the team with 23 points. 

Louisiana native, JerKaila Jordan led the Bulldogs with 16 points and 4 boards. She was followed by the 6-5 center, Jessika Carter who dropped 10 and brought down 6 rebounds. Jordan and Carter were the only Bulldogs to score in double figures.   

Seniors: LaDazhia Williams, Jasmine Carson, Emily Ward, and Alexis Morris were all honored at halftime in front of the sold-out crowd. 

After dropping the first quarter 15-14, the Tiger fought back to earn a 6-point lead by the half. LSU maintained its lead the entire third quarter keeping the Bulldogs out of reach. The Tigers fed off of the PMAC energy to extend its lead to as much as 15 in the final quarter.
