Flau'Jae Johnson and the No. 7 LSU Tigers suffered their first loss of the season against the No. 2 South Carolina Gamecocks on Jan. 24 before bouncing back against Texas A&M on Jan. 26. Johnson was frustrated with how she struggled to shoot the ball in these two games.
Johnson uploaded a video of the "Best of Both Worlds with Flau'Jae Johnson" podcast to YouTube on Thursday. The main topic she addressed was LSU's performances in their previous games, especially hers.
Against South Carolina, she was limited to 13 points and four rebounds on 6-of-18 shooting from the field and 1-of-4 from beyond the arc. The following game against the Aggies, she finished with 22 points and five rebounds but shot 7-of-18 overall and 0-of-5 from downtown.
"We haven't shot the ball particularly well," Johnson said at the 14:45 mark. "Me, me. I haven't shot the ball particularly well, bro. Um, I went 0-for-5 from three, bro. I don't remember the last time I went, 0-for-5, 0-for-anything in the game from the three.
"I've been in the gym, though, like, I've been working on this shot. Y'all know how much I'll be in a gym, shooting on the shot machine, bro, I gotta lock in, bro. Like, I don't know, I really gotta lock in on my shooting form, like, my technique."
