BATON ROUGE, La. (03/21/2026) — The LSU Tigers delivered an overwhelming offensive and defensive performance Saturday, dismantling the Texas Tech Lady Raiders 101-47 in front of 11,095 fans at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center.

From the opening tip, LSU established a level of control it would never relinquish. Guards Mikaylah Williams and Flau'jae Johnson orchestrated the attack, each pouring in 24 points in a wire-to-wire victory that featured zero lead changes and zero ties. The Tigers shot a blistering 56% from the field and asserted their dominance on the interior, outrebounding Texas Tech 44-27.

### How It Happened

LSU started fast, with a ZaKiyah Johnson tip-in opening the scoring just 19 seconds into the contest. The Lady Raiders kept pace early in the first quarter, using the three-point line to stay within striking distance. Back-to-back threes from Gemma Nuñez and Bailey Maupin cut the LSU lead to 10-6. After a Flau'jae Johnson three pushed the lead to 17-11, Maupin answered with another deep shot of her own to make it 17-14 with under a minute left in the period.

That was as close as Texas Tech would get. A 19-foot jumper from Mikaylah Williams at the 0:40 mark ignited a game-breaking run for the Tigers that spilled into the second quarter. Johnson opened the second frame with a layup, and a Jada Richard three-pointer at the 7:05 mark capped a 14-0 LSU surge, blowing the game open at 28-14.

The Lady Raiders struggled to find an answer, shooting just 25% for the game against LSU's relentless defense. The Tigers continued to pour it on, with a Mikaylah Williams three-pointer pushing the lead to 34-17. By halftime, LSU held a commanding 43-25 advantage.

The third quarter was a showcase of LSU's offensive firepower. The Tigers outscored the Lady Raiders 33-7 in the period, punctuated by a sequence of three-pointers from Bella Hines, Williams, and Johnson in the final two minutes that stretched the lead to 76-32 and erased any doubt about the outcome.

LSU continued its offensive clinic in the fourth quarter, with Jada Richard draining a 26-foot three-pointer in the final minute to push the Tigers past the century mark and seal the 101-47 victory.

### Turning Point

The decisive stretch occurred across the first and second quarters. With the score at 17-14 late in the first, LSU ripped off a 14-0 run that fundamentally changed the game. The run, started by a Mikaylah Williams jumper and capped by a Jada Richard three, turned a competitive contest into a 31-14 LSU advantage. Texas Tech was unable to recover from the offensive onslaught, and the Tigers controlled the game for the final 30 minutes.

### Stars of the Game

It was a two-headed monster for the LSU offense, with **Mikaylah Williams** and **Flau'jae Johnson** sharing top honors. Williams was incredibly efficient, scoring her 24 points while adding 7 rebounds and 4 assists. Johnson matched her with 24 points of her own, chipping in 4 rebounds and 3 assists. 

Inside, the Tigers received double-double performances from both **Amiya Joyner** (11 PTS, 11 REB) and **Kate Koval** (10 PTS, 10 REB), highlighting their complete control of the paint.

For Texas Tech, **Bailey Maupin** was the primary offensive threat, finishing with a team-high 19 points, 4 rebounds, and 3 assists.

### What It Means

For the LSU Tigers, this was a statement of intent. Their ability to score at will, both in transition and in the half-court, combined with a suffocating defensive effort, proves they are a force to be reckoned with. The balanced scoring and dominant rebounding demonstrate a well-rounded team clicking on all cylinders.

For the Texas Tech Lady Raiders, it was a difficult matchup against an elite opponent. While the team struggled to generate consistent offense, Bailey Maupin's performance was a positive takeaway. The game serves as a challenging benchmark and a learning experience against one of the SEC's premier teams.
