LSU-women’s basketball team fired from 3-point range-in.

Mississippi State, on the other hand, hit only 35% of its field goals and committed 19 revenue.

Williams star Sophomore, who fell a season high 37 points against Oklahoma added another 22 points on 8-of-16 shooting against the bulgers. Johnson added 20 points on 6-of-12-shooting, and Morrow tiled in 18 points and 20 rebounds.

The tigers began to rebuild their first half before through a productive second half.

LSU hit nine of its 16 field goals in the third quarter – enough to expand its lead by five points.

Then, the 3-pointer buried by Gilbert and Johnson buried to start the fourth of tigers for a double-digit victory.
