Morrow sets LSU tourney record with 36 points, No. 9 Tigers beat Florida 101-87 to reach SEC semis

Morrow and Williams highlight LSU's growth and domination

The senior forward's 36 points were the most ever by an LSU player in conference tournament history and tied for the ninth-most overall.

Mikaylah Williams chipped in with 16 points and eight assists for the Tigers, who played without leading scorer Flau’jae Johnson, who is out for the tournament with a shin injury.

The Tigers (28-4) didn’t need their star on this night.

Morrow set the tone in the first half with 16 points on 8-of-10 shooting and nine rebounds, helping the Tigers build a 53-34 halftime lead. Most of Morrow’s points came on feeds to the low post, mid-range jumpers and off of offensive rebounds.

Liv McGill had 16 points and Jeriah Warren had 14 to lead Florida (16-17).

Takeaways Florida: The Gators lacked the height and body size to match up against Morrow and LSU made them pay repeatedly with passes into the low post for easy baskets.

LSU: The Tigers were 22 of 28 from the foul line.

Key moment Kailyn Gilbert made a twisting, underhand layup between two defenders and drew a foul for a three-point play to put Tigers up by 15 with 21 seconds remaining in the third quarter, thwarting a Gators rally.

Key stat LSU outscored Florida 46-28 in the paint.

Up next LSU will face No. 1 Texas, a 70-63 winner over Mississippi, in Saturday's semifinals. Florida's season is over.
