Takeaways Northwestern State: The Demons were completely overwhelmed in this intrastate matchup after they scored the last six points of the opening quarter to trail by 10.

LSU: With a guard-heavy roster, coach Kim Mulkey is relying heavily on full-court defensive pressure and a quick tempo. She’s sending in reserves in waves to keep her team fresh.

Key moment Leading by 10 points against an inferior opponent at the end of the first quarter, LSU turned up the defensive heat. The Tigers’ full-court presses and solid rotations resulted in Northwestern having more turnovers (18) than points (14) in the second and third quarters combined. LSU outscored the Demons 50-14 over those periods to take a 74-28 lead at the end of the third.

Key stat Northwestern State missed 21 of 22 shots during a stretch that began late in the second quarter and didn't end until Mya Blake made a layup with 7:16 left in the game.

Up next Northwestern State is home Tuesday night against Arkansas Baptist.

LSU hosts Charleston Southern on Tuesday morning in the Tigers’ annual “Field Trip” game, which schoolchildren from the surrounding area are invited to attend.
