Let’s hope that molds them into championship team we know they can be. They have to learn to calm down at crucial moments if they’re going to win it again

Big Flaug!!! #PutSomeRespeckOnHerGame
They need to convert those buckets and stop the crazy amount of turnovers. They need to learn to work the clocks as well. Their downfall will be their turnovers
Angel Reese the rebound Machine❤️💯
13:42 and 14:00 -- del Resario's two highly improbable baskets
Del is definitely the reason Angel know how to get Kamilla the ball. She may have missed most of her shots but it definitely helped in the long run
Last-Tear Poa did her thing 🔥🔥
Wait 20 rebounds 😮 odeeeeeeee
Hailey is being ignored by the rest of the team, especially poa. They won't throw her the ball starting in the 2nd quarter. This has probably been their problem all along, but it's just now becoming obvious.

Mulkey forced HVL down everyone's throat. She didn't earn anything, it was just handed to her and Poa doesn't like that. She's not that good either, so they don't feel guilty ignoring her. Also, behind the scenes, she very well may be an a-hole.
Everything one wants to prove that they can go against LSU girls it's that LSU girls needs to up there game just a little bit more and then they won't be making so many mistakes
This was a great physical game. There was no real 3pt threat, a lot of turnovers from Auburn. Van Lith came alive and Poa had inspired play. This is good going into SEC Tournament play...still have S.Carolina as the juggernaut favorite to win the SEC regular / tournament and possible NCAAWB title...#Forevertothee

Auburn player goes behind Mulkey as she is chasing a loose ball, because Mulkey is on the playing floor all the time. Never gets called. LSU though, is looking a little better every week.
