Flau'jae Johnson's boyfriend Chris Hilton Jr. celebrates her 12th 20-point game of the season
Flau'jae Johnson continued her dominant season for No. 5 LSU on Sunday, as the junior guard registered another 20-point performance—her 12th this season—in the home game against Texas A&M.
Johnson's beau, Chris Hilton, celebrated her outstanding outing on his Instagram story by adding @ballislifewbb's post that highlighted Johnson's impressive stat.
The 5-foot-10 Savannah, Georgia, native is averaging 19.7 points, 5.9 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game for the Lady Tigers. She has been instrumental in Kim Mulkey-coached LSU's 21-1 record, with the team only losing to defending champions South Carolina in the previous game.
It was one of the matchups where Flau'jae Johnson did not reach the 20-point mark as she finished with one of her lowest-scoring outputs of the season with 13 points. Besides, she had the worst shooting game as she made just 6 of her 18 shot attempts (33.3%).
"Me personally, I'm getting out of my shot, moving to the left, moving to the right when I shoot the three. Just got to stay in my shot, but shots are going to fall," Johnson addressed her shooting struggles after the game (2:46). "As long as we do what we do on defense, shots are going to fall, and that just goes to show how great we could be."
Flau'jae Johnson is shooting 47.8% from the field. The last two games are one of those rare instances where her efficiency dropped to below 40%.
