The Lady Tigers' season record now stands at an impressive 7-0, while the Dolphins fell to a challenging 0-1 start.

The Pete Maravich Assembly Center witnessed a remarkable display of basketball as the LSU Lady Tigers showcased their superiority on both ends of the court. With a total of 110 points scored throughout the game, they demonstrated an offensive clinic that left spectators in awe. Their scoring was well-distributed across all four quarters: starting strong with 29 points in the first and maintaining momentum to finish with 28 points in the last.
Defensively, LSU was just as formidable. They amassed an impressive total of ten blocks and eighteen steals over the course of play, which not only disrupted Jacksonville's offense but also catalyzed fast break opportunities for themselves resulting in a significant tally of forty fast break points.
On offense, assists were key for LSU's fluidity; they racked up twenty-four assists which is indicative of their collaborative play style and ability to find open teammates. This teamwork led them to shoot at nearly fifty percent from beyond the arc and forty-six percent from two-point range.

These errors proved costly as LSU capitalized by scoring thirty-two points off these turnovers alone. Despite putting up sixty-eight points themselves and making some headway with seventeen fast break points and nine second-chance points, it wasn't enough against LSU's robust defense.
Rebounding also played a crucial role in this contest; LSU outrebounded Jacksonville by more than double – fifty-four rebounds compared to twenty-six for Jacksonville – providing them numerous additional scoring opportunities through seventeen offensive rebounds leading to fifteen second-chance points.
