The LSU Lady Tigers improved their record to 11-0 after a hard-fought victory over the Southeastern Louisiana Lions, with the final scoreboard reading 63-55. The Lions now stand at a record of 0-11.
In an intense matchup at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center, the home team LSU Lady Tigers showcased their determination and skill on the court. Despite trailing by three points after the first quarter, they bounced back in the second quarter with an impressive 22-point performance against just eight from their opponents. This turnaround was pivotal for LSU as it set them up for success in the remainder of the game.
The Lady Tigers' defense was particularly noteworthy; they tallied eight blocks and ten steals throughout the game, disrupting many of Southeastern Louisiana's plays. Their offensive efforts were equally commendable, with a field goal percentage of 41 and free throw percentage rounding to 57 percent. They also dominated inside scoring with 32 points in paint and capitalized on turnovers by scoring 18 points off them.
Rebounding was another area where LSU excelled; they outrebounded Southeastern Louisiana by a significant margin—43 rebounds to their opponent’s 32. Of these, an impressive number were offensive rebounds (14), which provided crucial second-chance opportunities that resulted in thirteen second-chance points.
On offense, assists played a key role for LSU as they accumulated fifteen assists over four quarters, demonstrating effective ball movement against Southeastern Louisiana's defense. However, turnovers were an issue for both teams; while LSU turned over the ball eighteen times themselves, they managed to force fifteen turnovers from their opponents which contributed to several fast-break opportunities.
Southeastern Louisiana put up a valiant effort despite falling short on this occasion. They had nine steals and four blocks but struggled with shooting accuracy across all fronts – field goals (41 percent), two-pointers (43 percent), three-pointers (33 percent) – which ultimately hindered their ability to keep pace with LSU’s scoring.
