BATON ROUGE - Mikaylah Williams set the NCAA-era LSU freshman scoring record with 42 points on Tuesday afternoon in the PMAC during the annual Field Trip Game, as the Tigers took down Kent State, 109-79.
Williams was 15-20 from the field including 5-8 from three with 7 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals. Totaling 42 points, she set the NCAA era LSU freshman record and became just the 11th player in program history to total over 40 points and the first since Cornelia Gayden set the LSU scoring record with 49 points (2/9/1995). Maree Jackson had games of 45 (vs. UNLV on Feb. 12, 1977) and 44 points (vs. Northwestern State in the AIAW State Tournament on Feb. 26, 1977) as a freshman in 1976-77.
“I wouldn’t say I wanted the ball every time,” Williams said. “My teammates just knew that I had the hot hand so I applaud them for getting me the ball. I was just executing on the shots.”
“She’s a special talent,” coach Kim Mulkey said of Williams. “It was one of those moments where the rim feels as big as the ocean.”
Aneesah Morrow was close to an unusual double-double. She had 17 points and 9 steals, one shy of tying the LSU record. She also had 8 rebounds to push her close to a triple-double with 2 blocks and 2 assists as well.
“I’m very active on defense, and coming here to LSU I had a goal to do better defensively. Just knowing that I’m undersized in the post and trying to play on the three. Just capitalizing and being versatile on the court.”
Hailey Van Lith, Angel Reese and Flau’Jae Johnson also scored in double figures for the Tigers.
Kent State’s Katie Shumate totaled 22 points as she went 4-6 from beyond the three-point-line. Other Golden Flashes to reach double figures were Jenna Batsch and Bridget Dunn with 16 and 11, respectively.
Coach Mulkey will return home to Tangipahoa Parish on Friday night as LSU is poised to go on the road to face Southeastern at 7 p.m. CT inside Pride Roofing University Center.
The Tigers will hit the road for the second time this season as coach Mulkey will make her return to Tangipahoa parish as LSU takes on Southeastern Louisiana on Friday night at 7:00 p.m. inside the Pride Roofing University Center in Hammond.
LSU went 42-74 for 57-percent from the field compared to Kent State’s 26-60, 43-percent. The Golden Flashes out-shot the Tigers from deep as they totaled 14 to LSU’s six. LSU scored 42 of its points off turnovers and only gave up 13 takeaways. The Tigers used its size advantage down low as LSU scored 58 of its points inside the paint.
Kent State’s Dunn kept things close early by knocking down two threes in the opening three minutes to match the Tigers total and make it 6-6. Kent State held an 11-8 lead at the first media timeout after the lead changed three times in the opening five minutes. A fast break assist from Williams gave Reese her first bucket of the game for a three-point-play that tied the game at 13. Williams went 2-2 from the foul line to bring the Tigers within one to end the opening quarter, 17-16.
Made layups from Morrow and Williams to open the second quarter gave LSU its first lead since two minus into the game. Reese added four points of her own to make it a 8-0 run as the Tigers went up 24-18. Shumate put the flashes back within one as she scored five unanswered just before the media timeout. SMith and Reese combined for all but two of LSU’s remaining points in the half. The Tigers took a 2-point lead into the break, 30-37.
The Golden Flashes lit up the three point line in the opening half as they went 7-16 for an impressive 43.8-percent. LSU was 0-6 from beyond the arc. Shumate led all scores with 17 points on 5-11, with 4 triples. Reese and Williams were the only LSU players in double figures through the first half, 11 and 10 respectively.
After Kent State regained the lead in the first minute and a half of third quarter play, Williams hit LSU’s first three of the game to take a two-point advantage. LSU built upon this lead to go on a 14-2 run and take an 11-point lead into the media timeout. Williams marked a new career high of 22 as she hit a top of the key jumper to give LSU its largest lead of the night, 15.
LSU scored seven points in the first 50 seconds of the final quarter to go up by 22 and force a Kent State timeout. Williams and Van Lith went on to combine for 28 of LSU’s 38 fourth quarter points. The Tigers cruised to a 30-point win as LSU marked its third straight game breaking the century mark.

I must say looking at past few games this season: Flau jae has also upped her game more since last season Smya Smith hands down got it going on this season Angel Reese making them free throws count more this season, you go girl! Poa is a lil secret weapon as a pg 💯 HVL is perfect at n2 and you can tell she hasn't exploded yet! She has a lot to offer and we here for it A. Morrow we ppbly haven't seen the best of her yet but i feel like with that body she can be the beast in defense if she could tighten that D otherwise her offensive game is game! M.Williams girl keep that confidence and power, youre the G! You also got the body to become beast at defense, toughen the defense you good Would love to see abit more of that Rosario she seemed to have some potential anyway Geaux Tigers!

These last few LSU games have been frustrating to watch not gonna lie....the first game they were moving the ball so well and coming off screens...now there's too many silly turnovers, not getting enough defensive stops, rebounds and missing free throws like crazy...got better in the 3rd and 4th....idk what's happening but Imma need them to get it together quick!

Huh??? They moved the ball well the first game? They actually loss that game to Colorado. & The last 2 they won. Last game angel hit 8 out 9 free throws & went for a double double 1 being the boards. They rebounded excellent in this game & morrow had 9 steals & you talking about wasn't enough defensive stops. The last game vs msv they held them to 47 points. Like what team you watching. Now I do admit they do need to get in a flow of moving the ball around in a more organized way. But they good though

I liked seeing Angel shoot that three and hit that elbow jumper. If she can consistently hit those shots LSU will be tough to beat. This is hard to be on this team. So much fire power…I think it would be easy to get “lost in the sauce” and not even see the court. Then if you see the court, someone like Williams is doing her thing. You might not even score.

@@sandrashange3593You can’t make a shot that you don’t attempt. One of the areas that Angel needs to improve on is her outside shooting. She said she has been working hard on that aspect of the game over the summer. So it was encouraging to see her at least attempt it in a game. If you have children, it’s like when they take baby steps…you encourage them. It doesn’t matter if they fall…does it? We expect that don’t we?? Why? Because before long they’ll be running.

I think what Mulkey should try doing is for at least 1 week during practices, have at least 3 of the girls each time not be in the actual court each day….they can still be in the building practicing but not physically on the court, and the rest of the girls have to practice learning how to fend for themselves, and not looking over at the ones sitting down like “what do we do now?”. That will teach all the girls to not over-rely on each other for their wins especially with the key players: Angel, Flau’jae, and Last-Tear. Now as for Angel, people are gonna try to discredit her and shade her talent simply because she’s a black girl…..every player has their moments when they just aren’t feeling the room sometimes and either do too much, or not enough which is normal and it happens. I think by Mulkey taking Angel out for a while, that teaches the girls not to rely on her so much.

Ok, if you turn the BS Cheerleaders off and just watch the game, at this point in the season, getting into the forecourt, two people touch the ball before a shot is taken regardless of the defense being played on the shooter. (Get the ball, dribble into a crowd, take a shot) Only one time did the highlights show four passes before a score. Yeah, yeah, why does it matter if they win. Well, let me remind you of the name of the State of Colorado. It's not like there isn't a great deal of talent on the floor but the seeming lack of team play just seems like a problem. Well, that's the coach's problem but it makes watching them let Kent State be competitive for 3/4 of the game doesn't seem right. Finally when LSU decided to play defense, they broke it open. If the goal is winning another National Championship, playing this way is a My Left Foot way of doing it. Congrats to Williams for giving us a reason to cheer. Geaux Tigers.
