While Flau'Jae Johnson is celebrating the success of her latest album, she will soon need to turn her attention back to No. 5 LSU, as the Tigers prepare to face No. 3 Texas (25-2, 11-1 SEC) on Sunday night.

The Tigers (25-1, 10-1) and Longhorns have already secured their spots in the NCAA Tournament, but this matchup will be a significant test for both teams as they gear up for the postseason. It will also make the race for the top spot in the SEC even more intriguing.

Johnson is averaging 19.6 points, 5.7 rebounds and 2.6 assists this season. After winning a national title with LSU in 2023, she is expected to play a key role for the Tigers in the final stretch of the regular season and the NCAA Tournament.
