BATON ROUGE – The No.
All five of LSU’s starters scored in double figures led by Khayla Pointer who had 19 points, seven rebounds and seven assists and Jailin Cherry put up a season-high 16 points with five rebounds and four assists.
LSU jumped out to an early lead and never trailed in the game.
LSU got off to a 6-0 start with contributions from Pointer, Aifuwa and Morris before Texas Tech got on the board with a pair of free throws.
Texas Tech made the first shot of the second quarter one minute in to geti within five of LSU, 20-15.
Pointer hit a baseline jumper with time in the half winding down, scoring LSU’s final nine points of the half and led a 7-0 LSU run as the Tigers took a 29-26 point lead into the break.
At the 2:06 mark Morris stripped the ball, starting a fast break where Pointer found Aifuwa on a no-look pass to build a 15 point Tiger lead.
After LSU scored the first four points of the quarter, Texas Tech scored the next four, keeping it close enough to mount a late run.
