Looking for another big game to watch before Super Bowl 59 starts? SEC women’s basketball has the sports world covered.
No. 4 LSU hosts No. 17 Tennessee in a Sunday afternoon showdown that got even more intriguing with the Vols coming off an upset win over No. 5 UConn. When LSU and Tennessee met last month in Knoxville, the Lady Tigers got a wild, last-second layup by guard Kailyn Gilbert to score a dramatic 89-87 win.
Led by the talented trio of Flau’Jae Johnson, Aneesah Morrow and Mikaylah Johnson, LSU (24-1, 9-1 SEC) has only lost to No. 2 South Carolina this season. Coach Kim Mulkey’s team ranks fourth in the country in scoring at more than 88 points per game, and a frenetic pace could be in store for its latest matchup. Tennessee is one of two teams in the country currently averaging more than 90 points per game.
The Vols (17-5, 4-5) are on the upswing under first-year coach Kim Caldwell, who is back on the bench coaching after giving birth to her first child less than three weeks ago. Only one of Tennessee’s five SEC losses thus far was by a margin of more than four points. Guard Talaysia Cooper leads the team at 17.6 points and 6 rebounds per game. She was one of four Vols’ players to score in double figures against UConn.
