Flau’Jae inspires LSU to victory

The No. 7 LSU Tigers entered the game against Georgia following a 65-58 loss to No. 2 Texas Longhorns.

While a lot of fans expected the Tigers to secure victory against the struggling side, it was particularly straightforward, as they lost the second quarter (17-18).

LSU even encountered issues before the start of the game, with the team’s second top scorer, Aneesah Morrow suddenly having to miss the game due to an injury.

Regardless, the team had to turn up, and it was LSU's leading scorer Flau’Jae who rose to the occasion once again with 21 points, two rebounds, two assists and three steals, despite not being 100% fit.

However, others also provided adequate support, with Jersey Wolfenbarger scoring 16 points, and making 12 rebounds, while Sa'Myah Smith scored 11 points and grabbed 12 rebounds.

LSU are now 26-2 overall and 11-2 in SEC. They will travel to face No. 14 Kentucky on Sunday, hoping to make it two wins in a row, as they look to end strongly.
