LSU stays unbeaten

Brandon Harley

No. 5 LSU stayed unbeaten with an 80-63 victory over Florida on Sunday in front of Tigers great Shaquille O'Neal as Mikaylah Williams scored 22 points and Aneesah Morrow recorded her 18th double-double of the season.  Flau’Jae Johnson scored 19 points for the Tigers. They will carry their second-best start in program history into a much-anticipated matchup at second-ranked South Carolina on Thursday.


Shaq   watched his daughter, Florida freshman Me’Arah O’Neal. She finished with no points, seven rebounds and four fouls. Liv McGill led the Gators with 21 points.


The Tigers trailed Florida by six points after the first quarter but outscored them by ten in the second and seven in the third to build a double-digit lead that the Gators never could overcome.  The Tigers turned it into a lopsided contest by scoring the first 17 points of the fourth.


Morrow had another big day at the office, finishing with 20 points and 10 rebounds for her 92nd career double-double, tying her with former Oregon star Sabrina Ionescu for the second most (behind former Oklahoma standout Courtney Paris) in NCAA women’s history.


The Tigers have been very impressive all season, but the real test will come against the Gamecocks. It will be the third-ranked opponent for LSU and the highest ranked.


South Carolina has a formidable lineup, known for their strong defensive play and effective rebounding. Their depth allows them to maintain high energy and pressure throughout the game, often wearing down opponents. Additionally, their talented roster includes several players capable of scoring from various positions, making them a versatile and challenging team to face.
