Flau'jae Johnson entered the showdown against Texas averaging 19.6 points, 5.7 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game. However, she was listed as questionable on Saturday due to injury. Despite wearing a sleeve on her lower right leg, she suited up for the Tigers in the top-five matchup.
The LSU Tigers still took a 28-19 lead at the break despite having a hobbled Johnson in their lineup. She even led LSU in scoring during the first half, dropping nine points. Mikaylah Williams and Aneesah Morrow each scored seven points during that period for the Tigers, who kept the Longhorns' offense in check.

Texas struggled offensively in the first half, shooting just 7-for-37 from the field. LSU did a terrific job in containing Madison Booker, who missed all 11 of her field-goal attempts in the first two quarters.
The Longhorns battled back in the second half, outscoring the Tigers 46-30 to take the key home win. Booker overcame her poor start, finishing the contest with 16 points and 10 rebounds.
It was a disappointing defeat for the Tigers, who led by as many as 12 points in the third quarter. Williams led all LSU scorers, dropping 18 points on 7-for-19 shooting. Morrow had another monster double-double, scoring 15 points and grabbing 20 rebounds in a losing effort.
