"LSU (7-0) bested the 43-year-old NCAA record of six straight 100-point games, set by the 1982 Louisiana Tech squad that went on to win the inaugural NCAA women's championship. That team was led by an All-American point guard, Kim Mulkey - the same Mulkey who coached the Tigers to the NCAA title in 2023, and whose team is among the contenders to compete for another crown in the spring."
"Flau'Jae Johnson, one of two first-team all-Southeastern Conference returnees on the Tigers' roster, scored the record-breaking basket, putting in a layup with just over six minutes left in the fourth quarter for a 101-40 lead. Mulkey went deep on LSU's bench, with all 11 players scoring as the Tigers shot 53% from the field and made 15 of 18 free throws."
"Seven players finished in double figures for LSU, led by ZaKiyah Johnson's 19 points. Reserve Kate Koval had a double-double of 17 points and 10 rebounds, and Flau'Jae Johnson and Amiya Joyner added 16 points apiece. MiLaysia Fulwiley, Grace Knox and Jada Richard each had 11. Justine Henry had a game-best 21 points and Lexie Tarul added 11 points for Marist (2-5)."
LSU improved to 7-0 with a 113-53 rout of Marist in the Reef Division semifinal at the Paradise Jam. The win marked an NCAA record with the program's seventh straight 100-point game, surpassing a 43-year-old mark set by 1982 Louisiana Tech. Seven LSU players scored in double figures, led by ZaKiyah Johnson's 19 and reserve Kate Koval's 17 points and 10 rebounds. Flau'Jae Johnson delivered the record-breaking basket and the entire bench contributed, as all 11 players scored. Marist received 21 points from Justine Henry in the loss.
