Overview
- LSU, which defeated Texas Southern on Thursday night, won 131-22 for a 109-point margin that is the largest ever in Division I play against a Division I opponent.
- The Tigers forced 38 turnovers and converted them into a 55-0 edge in points off turnovers, including a 40-0 second quarter that left Texas Southern scoreless for an entire period.
- Seven LSU players finished in double figures, with freshman Anna Minaeva leading all scorers with 21 points off the bench and multiple starters logging heavy minutes.
- Former LSU star Angel Reese returned to the Pete Maravich Assembly Center and was presented with flowers as the program put the spotlight on its recent success and visibility.
- The win is LSU’s second straight 100-plus point game to open the season and intensifies scrutiny of its early schedule as the Tigers prepare for tougher nonconference and SEC tests later this month and in December.
