After a tough loss to the defending champions, the South Carolina Gamecocks, the LSU Tigers rebounded in commanding fashion with a 64-51 victory over the Texas A&M Aggies on Sunday. The win showcased the Tigers’ resilience as they returned to form on their home court.
Aneesah Morrow had an impressive performance, tallying 19 points and nine rebounds, but it was Flau’jae Johnson who stole the spotlight. Johnson led all scorers with 22 points, dominating the game from start to finish.
Her energy and focus were evident, as she seemed determined to bounce back from LSU’s previous loss on Friday. Johnson spoke about reflecting on her mindset after the loss to South Carolina.
“We sat and watched the film," Johnson said. “First, we looked at the things we did well because that’s where you’ve got to start. But for me, I was pissed, I’m a competitor."
"I could barely sleep. I was like, man, for all the good things we did, the rest of those things are fixable. The turnovers we had, the free throws, we’ll be alright.”
Johnson’s determination was on full display against Texas A&M, as her aggressive play and leadership set the tone for the Tigers, helping them control the game throughout.
The win was a much-needed confidence boost for LSU, who fell to No. 7 in the latest AP poll following their loss to South Carolina. The Tigers will now shift their focus to an exciting matchup on Thursday against No. 15-ranked Oklahoma.
