Flau'Jae Johnson's performance in LSU's loss to Alabama

Johnson is the Tigers' top scorer, but she came up short on Thursday. The junior averages 18.9 points per game and entered the SEC contest with a 37-game streak of scoring in double digits. Against Alabama, Johnson put up just six points, shooting 2-for-12 from the field.

The seven rebounds that Johnson recorded were above her 5.8 average, but she contributed just one assist. The guard attempted just one shot from 3-point range, which she missed.

LSU's leading scorer first appeared on the scoreboard two and a half minutes into the matchup when she made a free throw. She did not make a field goal in the first half.

The Tigers went behind quickly against Alabama, being outscored 23-16 in the first quarter. They entered halftime down 46-35. LSU made a second half comeback that took the game to overtime, but they were unable to come out on top.

Williams, who Johnson could be seen comforting toward the end of the game, led the scoring for the Tigers with 22 points. The sophomore guard averages 17.2 ppg this season.

Johnson and Co. will look to bounce back when they take on the Ole Miss Rebels next at Pete Maravich Assembly Center on Sunday.
