BATON ROUGE, La. (Interstat) — In a display of overwhelming dominance, the LSU women’s basketball team delivered a commanding 108-55 victory over Missouri in a Southeastern Conference matchup Sunday afternoon at a raucous Maravich Assembly Center.

The game was effectively decided by a devastating second-quarter surge from the home team. Leading 23-14 after the first period, LSU unleashed a 31-point second quarter, holding Missouri to just eight points. This 31-8 frame stretched a nine-point lead into an insurmountable 54-22 halftime advantage, showcasing a stark contrast in offensive efficiency and defensive pressure.

The most important part of the contest was this decisive second-quarter run, where LSU’s superior athleticism, rebounding, and shot-making completely dismantled Missouri’s schemes. The Tigers from Baton Rouge forced repeated turnovers and capitalized on second-chance opportunities, turning a competitive opening into a lopsided affair.

The sophomore guard from Columbia, South Carolina, filled the stat sheet with 22 points, 11 rebounds, four assists and three blocks in 28 minutes, orchestrating the offense and contributing across the board. She was one of six LSU players to score in double figures.

Flau’jae Johnson scored 16 points, while Bella Hines contributed 11 off the bench. Reserve center Kate Koval was highly efficient, scoring 13 points and grabbing seven rebounds in just eight minutes of action.

Missouri, which fell to 16-13 overall and continued to struggle in conference play, was led by Grace Slaughter’s 14 points and Chloe Sotell’s 11 points and seven rebounds. The visiting Tigers shot a frigid 24.2% from the field and 25% from three-point range. Their offensive rating of 69.1 on 80 possessions underscored a day of profound struggle against a swarming LSU defense.

Conversely, LSU operated with precision, posting an offensive rating of 140.4. They shot 46.9% from the field, outrebounded Missouri 30-8 on the offensive glass, and converted those extra chances into a barrage of points. The 30 offensive rebounds were a pivotal statistic, leading to 30 second-chance points and constantly resetting possessions.

The LSU defense was equally formidable, registering seven blocks and eight steals while consistently disrupting Missouri’s offensive flow. The home Tigers improved to 23-4 on the season and maintained their position near the top of the SEC standings.

A crowd of 11,278 watched as LSU methodically extended its lead after halftime, scoring another 31 points in the third quarter and cruising through the final period. The final margin of 53 points surpassed the pregame spread where LSU was favored by 34.5 points. The combined score of 163 points went under the over/under line of 160.5.
