The LSU women’s basketball team passed their first big test of the season Wednesday with a nine-point win against No. 14 Georgetown.
The Lady Tigers will ride their two-game, season-opening win streak to New Orleans to take on Tulane (2-0) on Saturday with vengeance on their minds.
The Green Wave eked out a 54-52 win last season in the PMAC en route to a 22-10 regular season record and a trip to theWomen’s National Inivitational Tournament.
With the win behind the Lady Tigers, LSU coach Nikki Caldwell said the team took a day off before refocusing their efforts on Saturday’s showdown.
“The thing you worry about after a big game like Georgetown is: What are you going to do against Tulane?” Caldwell said. “This group is showing that they’re mature enough to go and start the season on the improve.”
Senior forward LaSondra Barrett said she’s confident the group will mesh as the season progresses and that improvements are on the horizon.
“As the season goes along, we’ll just kind of settle down,” Barrett said. “It comes over time. We’re going to take care of the ball a lot
