Angel Reese continues to cement her legacy as one of the most electrifying players in college basketball, leading the LSU Tigers to their seventh consecutive win with a thrilling 78-72 victory over the Auburn Tigers. Reese’s performance was nothing short of spectacular, as she tallied 32 points, 16 rebounds, and 4 blocks to propel her team to victory.
The game, played at Auburn Arena, was a tightly contested battle from start to finish. LSU struggled to find their rhythm early, trailing by eight points at halftime. However, Reese’s leadership and resilience turned the tide in the second half. She scored 18 points in the third quarter alone, sparking a 15-2 run that gave the Tigers the momentum they needed. Reese’s ability to dominate in the paint and stretch the floor with her mid-range shooting left Auburn’s defense scrambling.
“Angel is a special player,” said head coach Kim Mulkey after the game. “She’s not just talented, but she’s also a fighter. When the game is on the line, she elevates her play and inspires everyone around her.”
LSU’s defense also played a critical role in securing the win, holding Auburn to just 12 points in the fourth quarter. Guard Alexis Morris contributed with key defensive stops and added 14 points of her own. The victory improved LSU’s record to 15-1 on the season, solidifying their status as one of the premier teams in the nation.
Up next, the Tigers face a tough road test against the Kentucky Wildcats. With Angel Reese leading the charge, LSU aims to keep their winning streak alive and continue their ascent in the national rankings.
