With 1:08 left in the game, Tameiya Sadler knocked down a 3-pointer, putting Ole Miss ahead by six points.

The basket gave Ole Miss the separation it needed with the right amount of time left on the clock to secure the upset win over LSU 85-77.

It was Senior Day at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center, where Aneesah Morrow, Shayeann Day-Wilson, Amani Bartlett and Last-Tear Poa were all honored at halftime with Senior Day festivities.

It was a day full of celebration and memories, but the scoreboard when the clocks hit zero made the festivities seem long forgotten.

“The saddest day of your life is when you hang that jersey in that locker and you can’t get to put it on again, and some of them won’t ever put it on again when they leave college,” Mulkey said. “I do feel bad for the seniors losing on their Senior Day.”

Morrow still shined on Senior Day, however, as she led LSU with 28 points and 12 rebounds. She shot 10-of-17 from the field and 1-of-2 from three.

With her performance on Sunday, Morrow became the second player in women’s college basketball history to record 100 double-doubles.

“It means a lot to me and my family,” Morrow said. “They’ve helped me so much throughout this journey…no matter what people throw at me, I’m going to overcome it.”

Mikaylah Williams was right behind her with 25 points along with three rebounds and five assists. She shot 7-of-14 from the field and 2-of-4 from three.

Kailyn Gilbert, who made the start in Sunday’s matchup, scored 11 points on 4-of-10 shooting from the field, and 1-of-2 from three. Mjracle Sheppard came away with another impactful performance off the bench, adding eight points and five rebounds.

“Mjracle brings a lot of energy. She had four steals which is outstanding,” Mulkey said. “She’s just active. She plays really really hard.”

Along with the end result on Sunday, the Tigers faced more obstacles than the opponent in front of them.

For starters, Flau’jae Johnson did not play, and it isn’t planned that she will do so through the SEC Tournament.

Kim Mulkey told LSU Radio prior to tip-off on Sunday that she plans to “shut down” Johnson through the SEC Tournament, as she is dealing with shin inflammation. Johnson wore a boot on her right foot, and Mulkey intends to rest her to assure she is healthy for the NCAA Tournament.

“I don’t think Flau’jae’s best basketball has happened in the last couple of weeks, so let’s rest her,” Mulkey said on LSU Radio. “It’s just not worth it.”

While that obstacle is out of LSU’s control, some of its adversity was self-inflicted.

Ole Miss shot 57% from the field in the third quarter after shooting 33% in the first. KK Deans gave Ole Miss its first lead of the game off a made 3-pointer with less than a minute left in the third quarter.

LSU led by as much as 15 points earlier in the third quarter.

“We just didn’t break, we locked in on our defense, and our shots started falling,” Deans said. “We poured into each other.”

Deans scored 17 points on 4-of-12 shooting from the field and 3-of-10 from three for the Rebels, and 15 of her blank 17 points came in the second half.

Tameiya Sadler led Ole Miss with 19 points on 5-of-15 shooting for the Rebels, and Starr Jacobs was right behind with 18 points on 7-of-8 shooting.

In addition, LSU’s 27 fouls as a team put Ole Miss at the foul line 26 times. Fortunately for LSU, the Rebels shot just 65% from the free throw line.

“I thought that we missed a good amount of free throws, but in the clutch, we made the ones that kept the advantage,” Ole Miss head coach Yolette McPhee-McCuin said.

But Ole Miss’ struggles at the foul line were canceled out by LSU’s 23 turnovers. Ole Miss had 15 turnovers.

“Their offense is one of the best in the country, and our defense is one of the best in the country, so it’s really what we do,” McPhee-McCuin said.

Fouls also hurt Ole Miss, as the Rebels totaled 23 fouls as a team. LSU reached the foul line 28 times, and it made 75% of its foul shots.

With the regular season now in the books, all eyes are now on the postseason. Unfortunately for LSU, it goes into the postseason off back-to-back losses.

But the Tigers’ postseason will start in Greenville, South Carolina, where LSU will begin its SEC Tournament journey.

The Tigers secured a double-bye in the tournament with a Top 4-seed, and will be the No. 3 seed behind Texas and South Carolina.

With that seeding, LSU will tip-off from the Bon Seccours Arena in Greenville on Friday at 7:30 p.m.

“When you don’t have all your weapons, all you can do is go out there and compete,” Mulkey said.
