BATON ROUGE - No. 1 LSU defeated Queens, 112-55, on a historic evening in the Pete Maravich Assembly Center where the Tigers scored the third most points in program history on the same night they raised a 2023 National Championship banner and got their rings.
“This game is interesting,” Coach Kim Mulkey said. “I have been blessed to coach a lot of great post players, a lot of great point guards, and a lot of great shooters. We have that on this team. We can share the wealth, they can all score. But what we have to do is focus on the defensive end.”
Prior to the game LSU received its 2023 National Championship rings. Commemorating the program’s first NCAA Championship, the rings have a number of special features that help tell the story of last year’s team. The top of the ring features 102 brilliant white stones in recognition of the amount of points the Tigers scored in the game against Iowa, a NCAA Championship game record. One side of the ring features a puzzle piece shaped like the state of Louisiana and last season’s team motto ‘Piece It 2gether’ while the other side has the National Championship trophy with a singular purple stone to symbolize the program’s first national championship. The bottom of the ring has LSU’s tournament motto of Focus 4 Four, a nod to the goal of reaching a Final Four and the four quarters of effort that winning a NCAA Tournament game requires. The inside of the ring has the scores from all six of LSU’s 2023 NCAA Tournament wins. Each ring has the recipient’s name and number on it along with the year 2023 and last season’s record of 34-2.
The 2023 NCAA National Championship banner was also raised during the pregame ceremony to where it will forever hang from the East rafters inside of the PMAC.
“I made everybody look up at the Final Four banners (during my introduction press conference) and I made the comment that there is no national championship banner here and that’s what I came home to do,” Coach Mulkey said. “I got that monkey off my back, didn’t I? It was fun, it was fun to come home, it was fun to do that and now we have built this program back to relevancy and that’s where you want to stay. Do you know how hard it is to win a national championship?”
LSU will be back in action on Sunday afternoon as it hosts Mississippi Valley State at 2:00 p.m. CT in the PMAC.
LSU had a new starting lineup on Thursday night. Returners Angel Reese, Flau’jae Johnson, and Sa’Myah Smith were joined by newcomers Hailey Van Lith and Mikaylah Williams. Smith’s nod marked her third career appearance in the starting lineup.
Reese recorded her 36th double-double while at LSU, moving her into a tie with Ayana Mitchell for the second most ever by an LSU player, only behind Sylvia Fowles who had 86 throughout her career. Reese had 28 points and 14 rebounds, her ninth double-double in a row going back to last season. It was her 16th game with at least 25 points and 10 rebounds going back to last season, the most in the NCAA in that span.
Smith had a career-high with 21 points on 9-11 shooting, adding 8 rebounds. Aneesah Morrow scored 16 points and Johnson had 13.
Queens guard Nicole Gwynn led her squad with 26 points on 8-14 from beyond the arch after only making one triple in her last outing versus Ole Miss on Monday night. Gwynn was the only Royal to reach double figures. Alexandria Johnson scored nine points and no Queens player had more than three rebounds.
The Tigers were dominant in the paint, scoring 68 points there. They also dominated the boards, out-rebounding Queens, 49-21, including 13 offensive rebounds that lead to 23 second chance points. LSU shot the ball well at 63.6-percent and they were efficient at the free-throw line at 24-29 from the charity stripe.
Smith made her presence known early as she won the tip-off and proceeded to score back to back layups in the Tiger’s first two possessions. LSU scored its first three buckets off of offensive rebounds. The Tigers held a 16-7 lead at the media timeout with seven of its points coming from the foul line. Reese recorded a three-point play and pushed the Tigers past the 20-point mark to give LSU its first double digit lead of the night. Gwynn connected on her fourth triple of the night to put Queens back within eleven with two minutes to go. LSU took a 13-point lead to finish the first quarter up 33-20.
LSU forced a Royals timeout as it opened the second quarter on a 10-0 run that saw buckets from Smith, Johnson, and Reese. The Tigers held Queens scoreless for over five minutes to begin the quarter. Reese scored on back-to-back possessions to put LSU up by 31 as she broke the 20-point mark. Shaw hit a corner three to end the second quarter and put the Royals down by 26 before the half.
You know what amazes me is people come and watch lsu videos to comment about caitlin.. Caitlin couldnt care less her head is in the game and when the time comes the better team will win. What makes you all feel special about trash talking another female to make another look good? I mean both girls dont even know who you ppl are. 😂
Like fr the Iowa game is literally 2 videos before this one 😂😂😂
Right
Preach.. thanks for sharing this. I agree. Just enjoy these phenomenal young athletes.
@@iahall2011 yes lets also appreciate they have the easiest ranked non conference schedule of any team in a power five conference.
I agree should not be talking about Clark. Should be talking about the weakest non conference schedule of any power 5 team in the nation. Its pathetic really how there ducking what could be a much much much tougher schedule.
Even though they didn't need them the Refs had LSU backs in this one
They’re actually playing defense this game
Easy to play defense on a 🗑️ team
The other team is trash
And they still struggled
You posting today’s LSU game?
Queen coach I’m fire 🔥
Great win❤❤❤❤❤
CU ladies buffs are for real.
I get that people never heard of Queens college, so the attitude is like LSU could merely show up to the stadium and the win is guaranteed. You still have to play the game, and you still have to earn the win, so LSU did their part. A win is a win at the end of the day, so don't knock success when it's earned. Still, LSU needs to figure out their chemistry issues. Too often their offensive tempo gets bogged down by hero-ball, and players who shouldn't be running the point doing so. Speaking of point guards: this team really needs a true point, or for HVL to develop into that role sooner than later. Their lack of being in sync often leads to unforced turnovers, and their perimeter defense is going to cost them, along with their lack of size in the paint. Angel is a good rebounder, but not the most consistent scorer this year (although she's been raking in the second chance points)
They haven't played the legit contenders yet this year, but getting exposed doesn't matter anymore thanks to Colorado. This is too talented of a team to never win, so they'll manage to do that enough to get to the tournament with a soft schedule, barring no major injury problems. That's pretty much where it can all come crashing down if their chemistry and trust in one another never materialize over the season. If this team gets it together, a potential second title is in their future. If they don't... I'll be greatly surprised to see them get out of the round of 64.
🔥🔥🔥🔥
So NICE had 2 run it back TWICE once we get Jada Richard I think problem solved at point guard and HALEY can relax what you LSU fans think ? 😊
Is she hurt or something?
.naw they're just waiting her to respond and come to LSU
Yeah LSU 🟣 🟡 nice to see y'all back on track. Let's go lady tigers!
C.C. for Iowa Dropped 44 last Night plus the Win
Not an Iowa fan but that game was impressive ngl. Clark gonna be a problem in the WNBA when she goes
and won by 3 she has no help, you cant win the national championship like that💯
@ajahvearobinson2036 she has help, she just chooses to take 30+ shots every game. Iowa has a team full of shooters and Stuelke is actually doing good this season so far despite her foul trouble last game
CC is on a trash team and averages almost 30 shots a game. She is a decent player but her stats are highly inflated due to being on Iowa. During March Madness, Iowa will be in the weaker brackets, so they do not have to face, UCONN, LSU, or SC in the elite 8 or final 4.
Bro they can't keep depending on Clark hate to burst ur bubble yea she scored 44 but they also gave up 30 to Georgia Amoore and Barely beat Virginia Tech 😂😂
Defense a little shaky...this was a game they should work on pressing the ball some type of trap
At The next level Reese might be in trouble , That bully ball won’t work , WORK ON THE HANDLING AND SHOOTING
These CC stans are still mad iowa lost 😂😂 and she's going to lose again
I see Reese responded to the backlash after that loss to Colorado. She was a monster in the paint during this game.
lol....its like getting beat by another dude...and next day you responding by beating some girl...and acting tuff
They played a nobody team. They can’t do that against a real team.
@@LatinoHeat619 they going to win it all again this year why are you hating
@@JustinPierson-qd2kowait... you're serious?? 😂🤦🏻♂️
@@JustinPierson-qd2ko yeah truthfully the way they look early I really think SC should be the odds on favorite to win it all. Losing Boston did not hurt them at all The freshman guard is amazing Kitts and the rest of the length they have is going to make it tough.
People were sleeping on smith. Clearly one of the best players on this team. Maybe Kim didn’t need to portal over her with Morrow?
I could have a good game against queens so it's not saying much. I mean really have you looked at LSU's non conference schedule. Its a freakin joke.
@@AnthonyTomassi-y6j What does you "having a good game vs queens" have to do with smith playing good. Smith had 16 points against Colordao. @TheDisruptiveOne think smith should start over morrow because she is a true center.. and it allows angel to not have to play at the 5.
You are right with that one
Smith should be a starter
Do people not comprehend what they read anymore. I was not referring to her game against Colorado. I just said I would not get to excited for what she did agains queens I mean it was Queens after all. She is a good player never hurts load up so if you have a chance to add a Morrow to your team it's a good move. If smith takes away playing time from her for her performance Cudo"s to her. But she cant play 40 minutes so having Morrow is not that bad of an idea.
Van lith 🗑️ overrated nd defense liability
Don't worry people are going to find out how good they really are they got Virginia Tech coming up on the 30th
she's short.
If Reese doesn't learn how to shoot from 4ft - 10ft from the basket she's going to struggle at the next level. I'm sure very few actually attention but besides foul shots, all of her points come from under the basket. She can get by with her size in college but WNBA is bigger and faster.
I say make as much money while she can but also practice jumpers from 4-10 feet from basket.
She has a very limited skil set.
Yeah she should work on her jumper and a couple of low posts moves...and try and work on her layups
God damn Jethro finally somebody I can agree with. Thank you because every time I say something like that about Reese some dumb ass bitch has to make it a race thing. Look She is a great rebounder who does just ok when she is facing a big front line. She is too busy in the off season enjoying life instead of putting the time in the gym. Thats her choice and cant say as I blame her. But in saying that she will get eaten alive in the WNBA if she decides to go that route because that league is full of bigs that will eat her game for lunch as it stands now.Look Its ok and will get you through most college games but not the pros.
Wow , LSU , what team work , amazing talent by the ladies , congratulations , enjoy & have fun !
really your excited because they beat Queens college. ASUN conference 2300 students same conference as Vermont ,Binghamton, Maine. LSU has the easiest ranked non conference schedule of any power 5 conference team. Way to duck your way into the tournament. Its pathetic at best.
All that Long Nasty Ass Hair Weave Wigs an them Coackroach Eyelashes Should be Outlawed , it has No Place in the Game of Basketball -
AWWWWWWW IT AINT FAIR IS IT ? go cry to your mother
@@AnthonyTomassi-y6j It’s okay you still salty cuz they beat the great white hope team IOWA cry me a river😂🤣😂
@@jarelljones9576 dont get it what's not fair . They play a cupcake schedule is all I'm pointing out you ignorant MFKR.
Hater will always hate... LSU has responded well fact is they are the champions and hence the team everyone wants to beat.
Actually last year does not count for shit. it is a new year. I am pretty sure SC is the team to beat this year the way they just absolutely stomped 2 highly ranked teams and just look like they're pissed over what happened last year. But we will see January 25th.
They need to get number 11 more involved in being aggressive going to the boards
Give me a break!!! Why are they playing teams like this????
Exactly it’s a weak conference
it's not even the same division. CUNY is part of Division III of the NCAA, which means that they don't offer athletic scholarships.@@Lady_K2
Facts
I stop watching after the first quarter. The foul difference is crazy. I know you get some home cooking but this is insane.
LSU needs a PG it can't be HVL she's too used to playinng the 2
Poa
Totally agree. Two games in and I already miss Alexis Morris. She was a very competent ball handler.
Could be Poole because she's got good handles but she's looking thicker.
@@CarlRheem nah Poole need to get back in shape she clearly slowed down and did a terrible job taking care of the ball against Colorado
HVL is a real competitor with heart and serious skills, so it is highly probable that she will expand her skills as a point guard.
Fight ON LSU!!! Let’s get it!!!! We ain’t worried bout the nay sayers we gone ball
COLORADO BEAT THAT ...SS LSU
Queens ain’t have no bigs that could match up with Reese and Smith they got beat under the basket. Good win by LSU
Where are these Queens ranked?
Division 2
@@poutama_they said that it’s there 2nd year of being Division 1
@@emmauelcoleman702 oh well they ain’t ranked so ofc LSU is going to smoke em
@@poutama_ their first ranked opponent will be Virginia Tech on Nov 30th
I like how they play good team work morrow was great angel still unstoppable
So lsu plays 2 top 10 teams while iowa plays 5 this season.. this will definitely prove something for iowa if they are still top 5 at the end of the season. Plus iowa just beat a top 10 team while lsu loses to a top 20 team. Iowa plays 7 ranked with 5 top 10 and lsu plays 6 with 2 top 10. Make it make sense
They really need to get better on Defense
Agreed and hustle plays
YES TEAM WORK makes the DREAM WORK Reese with the help down low AMAZING GREAT JOB LADIES 🏀👏👏👏👏👏👏 HAPPY BIRTHDAY K POOLE 🎂👍
Why is Reese taking the ball down court?
because kim wants them to run. All the post do it. Morrow, Smith. Its all apart of their game.
It does not matter. Eventually, they have to compete in the tournament. Have a blessed day..
LSU I need for u too start faster that's what happened with Colorado can't let that happen again if u have one of the best teams on paper so let's go I watch a lot of games and see where u went wrong on defense and I seen a lot out of position players so coach get it together for the next game
Yea they got Virginia Tech coming up on the 30th
A lot of preseason hype for 3pts and 3Asts??🙄🙄
where was all this vs Colorado? ha
Colorado was ranked 20th in the nation. Queens is so far down the totem pole they are Division III of the NCAA, which means that they don't offer athletic scholarships.
@00:27, travel at that point. They don't call it any format of basketball it seems like, whether it be men's or women's. NCAA or NBA. Kinda sours the viewing experience and an unfair advantage to the dribbler for sure.
Well, at least this game serves as experience. 😅
LSUUUUUUUUU!!!!!! Angel REESEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!
Good crowd considering the opposition
Banner and ring ceremony
PMAC is packed every game since Coach Mulkey got there, and it was banner and ring ceremony
I wouldn’t come for a banner and ring ceremony. 🤷♂️
I would look at the schedule and wait for sec play.
@TheDisruptiveOne That's you, LSU fans are supporting their national championship team regardless of the opponent.
Suppppport woman's Sports!
LSU looking good
Real Queens ❤️🙏
🐯🐅
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Lsu should be 2nd after loosing first game 20th ranked team and Ucon 1st
Iowa should be first 2-0 and beat #8 VT
What team did Ucon play against again?
The new rankings haven't come out yet. But they wont be #1 come Monday. That's for sure
LSU will drop out of top 5, maybe just out of top ten. They need a quality win. That chance won't come till Nov 30 vs VT.
The rankings were set before anyone played a game. UCONN was #2 and wont drop unless they lose a game. @@vickyokoro7856
What I’ve noticed about these games….is that whenever they win, people in the comments don’t wanna accept it. The people in the comments wanna try to discredit LSU’s talent, shame them, and try to come up with every excuse possible for why they couldn’t have possibly won, even if the scores show who won, and during the after game conference the LSU girls as well as Mulkey give the opposing team some credit. It’s also sad when it’s black people specifically black women shaming these girls…..like it’s already bad enough that black women in sports are looked down upon, and not taken seriously by men most of who don’t think that women are as good as men…..but to have black women, shading a sports team that is predominantly black….that’s embarrassing and heartbreaking. Obviously everyone can have their opinions, but with LSU it is so obvious that a lot of people hate them because they’re mainly black, they beat a mainly white team, and they don’t want to see a team that’s predominantly black….win and celebrate their win.
No one is questioning their talent we question they're weak ass no conference schedule where the hardest no conference team they play is Virginia Tech and how come skin color comes up when we bring up legit argument I mean come om Virginia Tech has LSU and Iowa both on their schedule all i was looking for was a few tougher non conference other than the no name everyone know doesn't have a snowballs chance
‼️
now these are the tigers I KNOW
The whistle was kinda crazy 😂
Did lsu play a middle school team?
Reese gotta let point run the ball
i was js saying this
not everytime tho. Angel is good off the bounce.. she did that all last year and at her time at maryland.
Queens is ranked #361 out of 361 DI teams on Massey. LSU is now #24 on Massey. We won't know how good LSU is until they play someone in the top 100 which may be Virginia on 11/25.
Cc undefeated scoring 40 a game playing better teams
Fk CC she's not playing here
And still is Loser..
Reese, LSU 10 need to be more aggressive in the paint and more aggressive or defense.
I’m excited about women’s basketball this is going to be a great season
Caitlyn Clark is definitely the better player lol
She’s the best players in women’s college basketball she just don’t got help rlly
She can be the best player but Iowa can’t get no big recruits or transfers to come play with her !
@@chanie6892 that doesn’t take away anything from her being the better player than Reese.
@@Chill_Sonyou do know no matter how much you compare the two she still lost ! She can be who she is but nobody wants to play with her in all her years at iowa !
@@chanie6892facts 😂
LSU Conference is weak
