Mikaylah Williams reacts to Ja Morant's praises after Kim Mulkey's LSU cruises over Seton Hall

LSU guard Mikaylah Williams reacted with authority to the praise of Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant after dropping 22 points in the No. 5 Lady Tigers' 91-64 victory over Seton Hall in the Basketball Hall of Fame Women's Showcase on Tuesday night.

The six-foot guard shot 8 of 16 from the field including 6 of 11 from the 3-point line. She paired with Aneesah Morrow and helped LSU secure its 13th straight win in the 2024-25 women's college basketball season.

Williams and Morant wear similar No. 12 jerseys for their respective teams and the Murray State standout was quick to recognize the 19-year-old star's explosion for the Lady Tigers and delivered a four-word post on X that said:

"mikaylah williams !!! da goods"

Minutes after Morant's post, WIlliams responded to the tweet and said.

"it's in the 12 blood"

Williams has been one of the top contributors for LSU this season, averaging 15.8 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.6 steals in 12 games. The sophomore has shot 47.6% from the field, including 39.2% from 3-pointers, and a 90.9% from the free-throw line.
