Flau'jae Johnson stats tonight: How did LSU star fare vs Auburn? (Jan. 5)

Junior guard Flau’jae Johnson delivered a solid performance as the No. 6 LSU Tigers defeated the Auburn Tigers 73-63, extending their undefeated streak to 17 games.

The LSU standout maintained her streak of double-digit scoring in all 17 games this season, finishing with 12 points, one rebound and one steal in 27 minutes. Johnson shot 5-of-13 from the field and committed three turnovers.

In the first half, Johnson managed only two field goals on seven attempts with one rebound and one steal. However, her fastbreak bank shot in the second quarter gave LSU a 19-16 lead and sparked a pivotal 25-8 run that helped the Tigers recover from another sluggish start.

Johnson made a greater impact in the second half, opening the third quarter with four straight points and adding four more in the fourth quarter. One of her highlights included a euro-step layup through contact, extending LSU’s lead to 25 points.

Although LSU went 0-for-6 from beyond the arc—their first game of the season without a three-pointer—they received crucial contributions from backup guards Kailyn Gilbert (Arizona) and Mjracle Sheppard (Mississippi State), both acquired through the transfer portal.

LSU will face No. 15 Tennessee (13-1, 1-1) on the road this Thursday.
