Flau'jae Johnson and the then-No. 6-ranked LSU Tigers coasted to an 83-77 victory over the Vanderbilt Commodores on Monday. The star guard, who has a NIL value of $1.5 million (per On3), may have had her highlights, but she decided to put the spotlight on her teammates, particularly Aneesah Morrow.

Johnson led the Tigers in scoring with 25 points on 10 of 21 shooting, with five rebounds and four assists in 38 minutes. Morrow played the entire game as she finished with a double-double of 23 points and 15 rebounds on 10 of 19 shooting.

On Tuesday, Johnson took to her Instagram story post and posted a highlight of Morrow scoring against a Vanderbilt defender. She only needed one emoji to express her thoughts about Morrow's play.

"😮‍💨," Johnson captioned.
