No. 9 LSU put together a historic night at the PMAC, rolling past Texas Southern 131-22 on Thursday for a school-record 109-point margin of victory.
Freshman Anna Minaeva led the Tigers with 21 points on 9-of-12 shooting. Mikaylah Williams added 20, Jada Williams scored 18 with four 3-pointers, and ZaKiyah Johnson had 17. MiLaysia Fulwiley finished with 15 points, five steals and four blocks, while Grace Knox scored 15 and Lola Lampley added 10 — seven LSU players in double figures.
After a competitive first quarter (25-13), LSU flipped the switch. The Tigers outscored Texas Southern 40-0 in the second quarter and stretched a 50-0 scoring run through the middle of the game. LSU shot 60 percent from the field (53-of-89), piled up 36 assists and 61 rebounds, and forced 38 turnovers. Texas Southern shot 15 percent and finished with six points after halftime.
According to ESPN Research, the 109-point win is the largest margin by a Division I team against a Division I opponent. It is also LSU’s second straight 100-point game to open the season after Monday’s 129-35 rout of Southeastern.
LSU improves to 2-0 and hosts McNeese on Tuesday, Nov. 10, at 7 p.m. CT at the Maravich Center (SEC Network+).
