Flau'jae Johnson stats: How did LSU star perform vs San Diego State?

Flau'jae Johnson and the third-seeded LSU Tigers barged into the second round of the 2025 March Madness on Saturday night, trouncing the 14th-seeded San Diego State Aztecs 103-48 at Pete Maravich Assembly Center.

Johnson was one of six players to score in double figures for the Tigers, who reached the second round of the NCAA Tournament for the 25th time in program history.

Johnson made a triumphant return for the Tigers after missing the previous three games because of right shin inflammation. Coach Kim Mulkey opted to rest Johnson in the SEC Tournament to give her injury time to heal ahead of the Big Dance.

That decision paid dividends for LSU as Johnson was back with her best in the game against San Diego State. She led the Tigers in scoring with 22 points. She shot 9-for-15 from the field, including 4-of-7 from beyond the arc. It was the first time since Feb. 20 against Georgia that Johnson has scored at least 20 points in a game.

Flau'jae Johnson, who collected two rebounds and issued two assists, also was a menace on the defensive end. She racked up four steals and two blocks in 22 minutes of action.
