Make it six straight for LSU women’s basketball after its most recent win on Wednesday as it took care of the Tulane Green Wave at home, 84-75.
It was LSU’s last game before heading to the Bahamas, where it will play in the Baha Mar Hoops Pink Flamingo Championship on Monday against Washington.
Here are three takeaways from the game against the Green Wave.

Aneesah Morrow established scoring inside

So far, the Tigers have had their best offense when they attack the basket. LSU struggled shooting the ball from beyond the arc, but inside is where they made most of their production.
The Tigers scored 30 of their 50 points in the first half in the paint and finished with 46 paint points.
Aneesah Morrow established their paint presence by going 7-10 from the field and scoring 15 points in the first half. Only one of those shot attempts was from 3-point range.
Morrow continued to solidify herself in the paint as she ended the game with 23 points and 16 rebounds, including five offensive rebounds.
After Morrow got her fifth double-double of the year, head coach Kim Mulkey spoke about her performance so far this season.
“She said it best, the kid just has a motor,” Mulkey said. “She’s constantly working. No one outworks her. No one outworks her in practice, no one outworks her in the game and everything she gets she deserves.”

LSU struggled to defend the 3-point line

A scary trend recently that LSU has been on the wrong side of is its 3-point defense.
Tulane came into this game only shooting 31% as a team from 3-point range, but in the first half, that number was irrelevant.
The Green Wave shot 44% from deep in the first half. The catalyst of the shooting barrage was Tulane’s Victoria Keenan, who scored 21 points with all of her points coming from 3-pointers. Keenan shot seven for eight from downtown and was giving the Tigers fits in the first half.
This is not the first time in this short season that the Tigers have had trouble defending the 3-point line.
In LSU’s last game against Troy, the Trojans shot 38% from three in the first half, and in the other game against Murray State, the Racers shot 43% in the first half as well.
However, it’s important to note that in both games, Troy and Murray State finished with poor percentages. The Racers overall shot 21% from beyond the arc and the Trojans finished at 18%.
LSU has been able to make adjustments when guarding the 3-point line in the second half, but as the season continues and it plays more talented teams, it can’t afford to have a bad first half when guarding the 3-point line.

Jersey Wolfenbarger added a spark off the bench

Coming into the season, nobody knew who Wolfenbarger was a player. At Arkansas, she played 65 games and averaged roughly six points per game and four rebounds.
But as LSU picked her up in the transfer portal, there was one thing that stood out: her height.
Standing at 6-foot-5, the Tigers needed the length after losing Angel Reese. Sa’Myah Smith was working her way back from a knee injury, while Aaliyah Del Rosario was someone that the team is still waiting to take that next step so it was a much-needed add to the roster.
Wolfenbarger, who is more of a forward, sometimes plays out of her position because of her height and gets moved to center when her name is called.
Against the Green Wave, she impacted the game from the bench, notching 15 points, eight rebounds, two blocks and a steal. She also drew five fouls from the defense when she was on the offensive end.
“I see a lot of confidence,” Morrow said. “I know that she came in, coming into a new team with a lot of new players, and you trying to see, where do you adapt within that team? And I feel like she’s getting a feel of it now. She always comes to pull me to the side if she needs any help or any questions about anything, and I feel like she’s just more confident playing.”
