BATON ROUGE, La. -- - LSU guard Alexis Morris showcased her speed, shooting touch and veteran savvy, punishing Tennessee for its apparent preoccupation with dominant Tigers post player Angel Reese.
Morris scored a career-high 31 points, stirring a raucous sellout crowd with a series of clutch transition layups in the fourth quarter, and third-ranked LSU remained unbeaten with a 76-68 victory over Tennessee on Monday night.
“I had to be the player to stay poised because I’m experienced. I’ve been here before," Morris said. “I got my first few transition buckets and was like, ‘OK, this is pretty easy. I might as well use it to my advantage.’ And that's what I did tonight, push it in transition and put the pressure on them.”
Reese had 18 points and 17 rebounds for her program-record 21st straight double-double for LSU (21-0, 9-0 SEC). Reese's highlights included a transition layup while being fouled during a pivotal 11-0 run after the Lady Vols had pulled as close as 53-52 in the fourth quarter.
Jordan Walker scored 19 points and Rickea Jackson added 17 for Tennessee (16-8, 8-1), which has lost two straight, albeit to two top-five teams (No. 5 UConn being the other).
Jordan Horston scored 11 for Tennessee, which nearly rallied from a 14-point deficit in the second half before the Tigers' final surge kept the Lady Vols at arm's length in the final minutes.
“It was competitive - got away from us there in the second half,” Tennessee coach Kellie Harper said. “Obviously, Alexis Morris made some really, really tough shots and put up a lot of points.”
Reese was held to just four points and four rebounds in the first half, when she was trying to avoid foul trouble. She ramped up her aggression after that.
“With her, it’s really difficult to keep her completely off the boards," Harper said. “With her length and her strength, she just has position early, and it’s really difficult because she has such a knack for the ball.”
LSU led by as many as nine in the first half after Last-Tear Poa's 3 made it 32-23 late in the second quarter.
Tennessee closed to 34-31 after Jackson scored inside to open the second half. But 3s by Jasmine Carson and Morris helped LSU start to pull away again. Morris' free throws ignited an 8-0 run, capped by Reese’s driving layup that made it 48-34 in the middle of the third quarter.
Tennessee went more than four minutes without scoring before Jackson's layup made it 48-36.
Tennessee then began defending the entire length of the court. That disrupted the Tigers, who did not hit a field goal for the last 5:45 of the third, allowing Tennessee to pull to 50-47 on Puckett's 3 in the final minute of the period.
The Vols were as close as 53-52 after Jackson's free throw, but Morris responded with a driving leaner while being fouled for a three-point play. Soon after, Reese converted a steal into a transition layup as she was fouled. Morris then scored twice more in transition, sending the crowd, and LSU coach Kim Mulkey, into a triumphant frenzy.

Morris showed out, played like she in the running for player of the year.
I have to admit, because of LSU’s soft schedule I was one of the many doubters and naysayers against Kim Mulkey and her LSU Tigers. Boy, I was so wrong! After this game, I can see them beating Stanford and giving South Carolina a tenacious run for their money. I wouldn’t bet against LSU. They made me a believer.
Can’t control schedule
And now they are national champions; I crack up because I start at the beginning of the season watching all their games to see how in the world they got from a soft schedule to a championship...this is a Lifetime made-for-television movie...
nah but alexis morris doin thangs
Can't wait for them to play south carolina.
@yumpladukfoo not never
Thank you for uploading this video
The haters are still looming!! Kim Mulkey chose the schedule she did because she lost all her scoring & while starting 5 after last year. She had no idea who she’d even have on the team besides the recruits. But to mesh this team like she has says a LOT about the 🐐 KIM MULKEY! 21-0 regardless who you’ve played is a GREAT start!
Say it louder for the folks in the back!
Nobody was hating calm down buddy LSU isn’t special. They haven’t won shit. People were skeptical of there placement on the AP poll because they faced no challenges pre-conference schedule which teams should try to bolster their wins in the top 25 but they didn’t have to do that for some reason, they got top 10 for being undefeated against scrubs. That was the issue, they are doing well now because SEC is tough so congrats now.
@@torrinbianchi5283 Why did you reply to my comment talking about calm down lmao? You the one hyped replying with a paragraph, kiss my ass.
I'm a fan of LSU I predicted they would be where they are now but did Kim tell u thats why she chose a weak schedule? Otherwise ur comment is a dumb one because a lot of teams lose top players especially with the transfer portal look at Maryland and other teams .thats not an excuse to have a weak schedule
@@anthonytaylor7928 Kim had a whole press conference about it, get off my my comment lol. Does it really matter that much to you? 😂 You seem so pressed!!
Mulkey has rebuilt the Lady Tigers into a great great team! Geaux Tigers!
The game was awesome, but the outfit from her head to her toe was even better. All Pink is normally in October for Breast Cancer Awareness, but hey, it worked in January 😂😂😂😂Geaux Tigers💜💛💜💛🙅🏽♀️💯
Well they did it
Lady vols are playing much better but we need horston and Jackson to be on the same night it’s either one or the other and that’s not gonna beat a really good team plus 16 to
No they are not they need better coaching their offense is Soo predictable they stand around too much and their interior defense is terrible they need to hire a coach outside the program and leave the nostalgia in the past
@@anthonytaylor7928the lady vols have improved on the defensive end and in turnovers if we were to play lsu and beginning of season we would have lost by 20+ and had over 20 to so yes we have improved but tell yourself whatever have you watched every lady vol game to say that or are you just saying that cause your a lsu fan and have nothing better to do but down a team but lsu was better than us on this night
@@Navi.michael17 I'm a fan of womens college basketball as a whole I watch a lot of teams I'm partial to South Carolina but I'm objective heck south Carolina have a problem with outside shooting I'm not to partial to say that it's just an opinion I think Tennessee needs to move on to a different coach plain and simple
@@anthonytaylor7928 I do think some of kellie coaching needs to improve lsu went on like a 12-0 run I believe and didn’t call timeout like call timeout after 8-0 to slow the momentum
5:25 is exactly why Tennessee needs better coaching their half court offense is so predictable they dribble handoff but every one stands around no back door cutting or nothing
Number 14 been falling the whole game
Realize there's only one team in the state of Louisana that's won the women's national championship and it's not LSU
Now, there are two teams in college basketball that have won championships and Kim Mulkey was a part of both.
Now it's two and Kim Mulkey is part of both, one as a player and the second as a coach
Angel Reese is going to be a A’ja Wilson
Cap
@@nicolepierson4416 is u stupid so u don’t see that their game is similar, didn’t say she gone be as good as a’ja…. Kobe is not as good as Jordan but their game is similar
Love her 😂
Y’all couldn’t cut the highlights down at all?
