The Tigers got monster performances from a pair of standouts in [autotag]Angel Reese[/autotag] and [autotag]Jasmine Carson[/autotag], who each scored 25 points in a win that saw them walk away holding new records.
Reese is the first SEC player over the last 20 years to total 25 points, 15 rebounds and five assists in a conference game. Carson, meanwhile, tied the LSU school record for most made threes against a conference opponent with seven in the win on Sunday afternoon.
