Texas Longhorns at LSU Tigers
· We Back Pat
Williams scores 20 as No. 12 LSU hands No. 2 Texas its first loss, 70-65
After Williams' late 3 made it 66-59, she jogged back toward the defensive end with both arms triumphantly held high as an announced sellout crowd in the Pete Maravich Assembly Center erupted. The Tigers (16-2, 2-2 SEC) never let Texas (18-1, 3-1) get closer than five points after that.
Madison Booker scored 24 points, 14 after committed her fourth foul just 11 seconds into the fourth quarter. Kyla Oldacre had 16 points, 16 rebounds and three blocks. Jordan Lee added 12 points for the Longhorns.
Flau'jae Johnson, Milaysia Fulwiley, ZaKiyah Johnson and Jada Richard each scored 10 points for LSU, which led the entire second half.
Both teams scored far below their per game averages in a game defined by ramped-up and physical defensive play.
LSU came in averaging 101.8 points per game and Texas 91.9.
Texas committed 17 turnovers, with Booker losing the ball six times and Oldacre five.
Johnson, who'd scored 25 in a victory at Georgia on Thursday, didn't hit the 10-point mark against Texas until her driving scoop in transition as she was fouled hard and knocked to the floor by Oldacre. She converted the 3-point play to give LSU a 55-47 lead.
Texas led briefly in the first half but never by more than four points.
LSU, which led by as many as 13, took its first double-digit lead when Grace Knox hit consecutive layups to make it 43-32 after half way through the third period. The lead was still 11 when ZaKiyah Johnson and Fulwiley each hit layups to make it 50-39 after three quarters.
Williams had 11 points and three steals during the first half. Her third steal, from Jordan Lee, sent Jada Richard breaking the other wat for a pull-up jumper at the halftime horn that made it 30-25.
LSU is at No. 5 Oklahoma on Sunday.
