“We understood the importance of this game,” LSU coach Nikki Fargas said. “The people who came out to support us, we feel that. They made a difference. It was good to have a rowdy crowd. We definitely have to take care of home.”
The win marked LSU’s second consecutive win against selection committee Top 25 teams and the third over a Top 25 team this season.
“The support of our fans is always key to us,” senior guard Raigyne Louis said. “That was a big boost for us.”
