Despite LSU's star having a rough night, LSU pulls out a gutsy win

No. 6 LSU dominated Texas A&M, 98-54, behind 23 points and five steals from Milaysia Fulwiley. LSU (18-2, 4-2 Southeastern Conference) was up 21 points with six minutes left in the third quarter before using an 18-0 run to push the lead to 74-35 with two minutes left in the quarter.

Grace Knox got the run underway by scoring the first five points and Fulwiley scored seven points to keep it flowing. Knox had 19 points on 9-for-9 shooting.

In that period, Texas A&M committed four turnovers and missed five shots. This allowed the Tigers, who lead the nation in scoring, to put the game out of reach. The Tigers’ defense forced Texas A (8-7, 1-5) into 25 turnovers, leading to 41 points for the Tigers

.

It’s the fourth straight victory for LSU after the Tigers lost their only two games of the season in back-to-back contests against No. 11 Kentucky and No. 12 Vanderbilt.

Fatmata Janneh scored 14 points and Ny’Ceara Pryor added 13 but had six turnovers for the Aggies. Texas A&M lost its third straight and fifth time in six games.

LSU’s Flau’jae Johnson had a tough game, shooting 2 for 9 and finishing with six points.

The Tigers overwhelmed Texas A&M in the paint, outscoring the Aggies 50-14 to win the eighth straight in the series.
