LSU women’s basketball added an impressive win to its resume on Wednesday afternoon. The Tigers beat No. 20 NC State 82-64 to capture the Pink Flamingo Championship in the Bahamas.
LSU was a 5.5-point favorite and there were questions about the Tigers entering this one after needing a final-second bucket to beat Washington on Monday. But LSU answered the call and played its best game of the year, given the opponent.
Forward [autotag]Aneesah Morrow[/autotag] posted her sixth-straight double-double with 20 points and 15 rebounds. [autotag]Mikaylah Williams[/autotag] led the team with 24 points and sunk four shots from behind the arch.
LSU got a much-needed bounce-back performance from Williams after she struggled against Washington.
It was another productive day for Flau’Jae Johnson, scoring 16 points and coming up with a steal.
LSU outrebounded the Wolfpack by 20 and outscored NC State by 10 points in the paint. That’s what [autotag]Kim Mulkey[/autotag] wanted to see after the Tigers have struggled in the post at points this season.
Next up for LSU is a home meeting with North Carolina Central on Dec. 1.
