The LSU Tigers were in action again on Monday night as they faced the Texas Southern Tigers at home. With Angel Reese missing out yet again, the defending champions were looking to put on a dominant display at home. Head coach Kim Mulkey was hopeful that her team could repeat their performance from the last game in the absence of their Most Outstanding Player–Angel Reese.

Consequently, her team stepped up and delivered a thumping 106-47 victory over the Southern Tigers. The Lady Tigers proved yet again that don’t rely on a single player for their team’s overall success.
