The LSU Tigers earned their 11th SEC victory Thursday night against Tennessee, 89-73.

LSU celebrated their three seniors: Flau’jae Johnson, Amiya Joyner and Izzy Besselman. At halftime, jerseys, flowers and family members. LSU also played a special video at the end of the game, with a special message for the graduating Tigers.

Tennessee put up an impressive performance in the first half, forcing LSU to turn the ball over 9 times. The Volunteers had full defensive control, scoring 11 points off rebounds and 14 off of second chances.

After halftime, however, the Tigers came out ready to win. LSU was able to score 28 points in the paint while also scoring 10 points off of Tennessee turnovers. The Tigers would go on a 14-0 run and end the game with a point differential of 16.

Kim Mulkey is known for mixing and matching her starting five, who play together on the court. Tonight she found the perfect combination in Milaysia Fulwiley and Jada Richard, saying, “She and Jada on the floor together bring a new dynamic that maybe we didn’t see earlier in the year.”

Flau’jae has been at LSU for four years, bringing a national championship back to the Bayou her freshman year. Coach Mulkey says, “When I think of LSU and all the tremendous athletes that have played all the sports here, her name is going to be right up there with them.” Johnson’s senior night was extra special, as she was Mulkey’s first McDonald’s All-American to come to LSU.

The Tigers travel to Starkville Sunday in hopes of finishing out the regular season with a win against Mississippi State.
