Tigers vs Longhorns Game Recap: LSU collapses in payoff period to hand Texas first place in SEC

LSU failed to sustain its strong second-quarter spurt, allowing Texas to fight back in the second half and secure a seven-point win. The Longhorns and the Lady Tigers were in a defensive battle from the start, combining for only 47 points in the first 20 minutes.

The score picked up in the third period, with both teams scoring in the 20s but Texas had enough firepower in the fourth, piling up 21 points to overcome a five-point deficit and take home a 65-58 win against a distraught LSU team, who could only manage nine points in the final quarter.

LSU's offense was horrible in the fourth period, only Mikaylah Williams and Flau'jae Johnson scored for them, as Texas (26-2, 12-1 in SEC) employed suffocating defense to snatch the victory away from the Lady Tigers (25-2, 10-2).

Both teams shot 33.3% from the field but Texas shot a perfect 21 of 21 from the free-throw line as compared to LSU's 13 of 19.

The Lady Tigers and the Longhorns picked up 44 rebounds each and Texas ruled the assists department, 13-7. They also ruled the steals (10-9) and blocks statistics (6-3) to secure the win.
