[Music] [Applause] [Music] thank you mank y know's name hey Ma ladies and gentlemen C5 way time yeah yeah yeah z z z z z let me see your shoulders work I mean I don't know what y came here to do but uh I come out the scuff without a scuff puff puff I don't Huff though yellow damond up close catch a sunstroke at your front door with a gun St knock knock who D how it won't go just a jungle so have the utmost Texas A&M in Maroon it is basketball time in Baton Rouge the tip won by Angel Reese this is Van lip we'll check the starters for you in just a moment for the Tigers van Li kicks it to Reese open but doesn't shoot goes Baseline tries to work low goes up with it and a jump ball is called as Reese was quickly contested defensively by Lauren we 65 is a red shirt Junior but you don't always see a lot of that size as Angel Reese Rogers kulali a transfer from Auburn Jones Barker and we the starting five for Texas A&M and this is the same starting five that Texas A&M has used in every game this year it's a bit un usual to have that kind of consistency LSU with Johnson Van lith Williams Reese and Marrow the opening quintet LSU has used seven different starting lineups this season and this particular lineup has been on the court most of the time still looking to get on the scoreboard and there is the first bucket a pass in LSU has missed layups early l Johnson gets to the rack but can't score with the right hand from the left side and that's war and wear again they're trying to figure out how to shoot over 65 Roger snaps it down to her teammate for the lay in four nothing first bucket for we and LSU in nearly a three-minute drought to open the game here's the lob down in traffic the Reese puts it on the floor comes back down there's contact they do not give up a lot of free throws in a game the agies themselves are making just over 12 and a half a ball game but opponents are making less than 10 meanwhile Angel Reese has attempted one 118 that leads everybody in division one so as we talked about already as Lauren we has impacted three or four possessions already by herself Lynn can they use ball fak spread it out to get themselves to the line I guess and that's more than anybody else in the country pull up jump shot with some Fade to it doesn't quite get there by Barker Williams can tie or take the lead with the three it's run down by Reese snaps a pass to marrow and scores from the left side and found Morrow who was recognized before the game for snatching her 1,000th rebound look at that spin move inside a powerful move Aisha kabali that's her first bucket I'm not sure kabali was so smooth on that move she didn't sneak in an extra step that didn't get called but she made it look good and was able to get two for the agies Johnson penetrating gets to a stop gives it to Reese she'll take the shot and Nails it looking around and then finally offered the shot and Drew the bottom of the net well that Defender you're talking about to is Lauren we she wants to stay on the inside we'll see if Reese does that again if it starts to pull her out away from the paint six of piece LSU warming up after a slow start going scoreless in the first three minutes and Barker loses the dribble on the six of piece as we slide under the six-minute mark remaining in the opening period in Baton Rouge van lift leans over the dribble guarded by Rogers van lith gets it down to Reese and she's open 525 to go into the opening period marrow guarding and that one is drained from deep but not deep enough for three points as janah Barker from Marietta Georgia now has her first bucket and let's see if this is going to count it is that's going to be Barker second here in the first what almost 5 minutes here's another look just one solid dribble to bucks that shoulder in with the body contact but you can see why Barker gets up she thought it was an offensive foul dipping that shoulder without flailing that arm and more of a lean instead of just a a throw like that they call it on Barker that's two quick ones on her she's averaging 13 points of contest Morrow is averaging 182 with N9 and 1/2 rebounds she's a very good free throw shooter 83.6% on the year a three from way back rolls out offensive rebound Reese contesting and got in the way of Lauren we and here comes van liip this is Morrow on the trail hand off to Johnson Reese calling for it down low but Johnson's going to take it to the left side misses with the left hand Reese is there in traic this has been a heck of a start for Reese eight points five rebounds in the first quarter kick out for a three ball and it Nestles in now that's only her fourth made triple of the Season she is not known as an outc courtt shooter but she got that one to go joy taken 17 attempts before that one then lip spinning and just gets it away from a 5-second call in fact she did not by the way you mentioned with that Colorado game you know they were 20 LSU was one coming in tonight's game LS was seven Colorado's up to five a three ball is on the money Rogers that I mentioned they kind of got back to Lady Tiger Pace now hit five of six last tier POA will check can as the first substitute for LSU van lith for three open and Nails it that left van lith wide open what a terrific pass by Johnson but the layup does not score from where she was wide open and just left that one moris BS from Georgia comes into the game for Texas A&M Reese working hard to defend kabali and that's going to be a shot clock violation that long heave POA lobs it down in traffic good catch by Reese puts it up draws the foul 13 turnovers a ball game just by listening to the sound Reese bags both free throws and 10 points early in the first quarter for her she's got six rebounds 10 points and six boards for re in the opening period then lift cannot defend the driving Hilton but the shot is high off the rim Here Come the Tigers the other way fade for BL got it 15 18 ft away from the batet but straight up with that no need to fade away from it green over po misses off the rim the rebound bounces deep to Reese six to shoot three to shoot and that will come up short from the corner uh he from 40 ft misses off the window As Time expires she gets three rebounds in the next three quarters she'll have her 42nd double double as a lady tiger Johnson Reese Williams POA and Morrow on the floor for the Tigers Rogers Hilton kulali Jones and we for Texas A&M that lob was intended for Rees but it had no chance and Hilton makes an easy steal so a turnover for the Tigers and an unforced error Rogers dribbling around the three-point line seven on the shot clock and a drive and a strong shot and it's put back Texas A&M 13.2 turnovers per game that's second best in the league still at six here two minutes into the second [Music] quarter Morrow with the rebound POA brings it up snaps it down to Reese feeds Williams three ball up and in Mel Williams can be a streaky shooter and she by far leads LSU in converting three-point shots if the lady tigers are able to find avenues like that to dribble they'll be able to play that inside outside game lead Del Rosario LSU's tallest player at 66 a freshman from Santo Domingo Dominican Republic and that lane violation cost LSU a point Ben lith is back in The Fray as well he Wheels around stutter dribble takes it down the left side puts it off the window and scores just tough as Nails huh she just puts her head down she knows how to get to the basket down the lane up and in tough drive by Haley vanl and a scoop is good by Rogers off the right side then LIF uses the Del Rosario pick and will take the three and Nails it the rim and the other one out Court we've seen her do this a couple of times in her career so far in Bat Rouge but we definitely saw it at her previous stop in Louisville where she can get on those scoring streaks that was her 15th converted triple of the Season looked like she was going to try to draw a Char she averages probably one to two a game certainly one again from Cincinnati has only been there eight times now for Williams FES right dribbles left F fires and drill Rogers lobbing it down and it's lost out of bounds as kabali Ball moving lot body movement van Li tries to slice it over to Reese and that was well anticipated by the agies defense and then on the other end a little walk at the free throw line straddles it Morrow step back Deuce last couple of times the Tigers have been a little bit off-kilter offensively this is going to go for Rogers and she's fouled Rogers has six points in this quarter re scraps her rebound she's a approaching a double double in the first half that was rebound number eight to go along with 10 points make it number nine to go along with 10 LSU battles for it flaz Johnson eventually comes up with the tip ball well you can just see the intensity the body's hitting the floor something you don't often see in a lot of the schedules in preseason oh absolutely that's going to be a technical foul y that's going to be a technical foul on joany Taylor who was showing her jumping ability when she used to be a player she might be close to getting thrown out if she do watch it well they gave her a chance to go back to the to the hudle and then she just kept coming on I thought it was going to be six on five Texas A&M against U she's dressed like their uniform so she could have Blended they wanted a foul on Ana Morrow and when they didn't make the call and the ball went the other way Joanie Taylor found herself 6 seven feet out on the floor watch oh this is when it's already gone down and in fact that's janah Barker pulling her back remember Barker has two fouls they're pulling he's she's pulling Taylor back so she doesn't get thrown out and eventually it had to come and Williams will drop the first free throw in yeah there was a block out of Ana Morrow probably a good 6 seven feet from the basket and when Morrow was fighting for it trying to go over the back not so in the second quarter she's got nine points and they've all come in this period oh she snaps the pass right into the hand here come the agies loping down and the lob pass is in the hands of we who van lift puts it on the floor takes it down the right side of the lane comes up and shoots with the left hand but pronounces it like the country India and she'll shoot it right here and Nails it 11 points that little spark plug guard has been effective in the first half against the Tigers offensive rebound by R who else a first half double double in uh approximately what 16 minutes and now 12 points for her KK green is in the game number four in Maroon she's a guard and look at Rogers again can anybody get in the way of India Rogers she has been spectacular in attacking the much taller tigle Maro takes a pass and misses the layup WI where for three no Williams big rebound ALU will let her shoot that all day she's only taking two attempts for that before that one they Rosario with the left hand get off the bench at the last stoppage and gets her first bucket Barker On The Run shoots the floater and scores the number of points that Texas M gives up in a game and we've got a a foul away from the ball as she now has the only two points in the first half off the bench so last game and a half three bench points all by Del Rosaria Parker takes an ill-advised three and the ball is ripped out of the hands of a couple of Defenders by fla Johnson she Scoops up a wild shot there's contact and she's going to go to the free throw this will be free throw attempt 12 and 13 LSU is already gone north of that the Tigers have been a really good free throw shooting team as a unit there an 8-second difference between the clocks as we close out the second quarter 4435 LSU 7 seconds on the shot clock that's tipped Away by D Rosario and a whistle get the rebound and that's because we while she looked good on that free throw she made them both LSU will have time now as it works it into front court with 8 seconds to go Williams at the top Williams kicks it out left side she'll take a three offline Del Rosario Taps it to nobody and this first half is over it was frenetic it was physical Texas A&M had an early lead LSU came roaring back LSU is being outscored in the paint in this ball game 20 to 14 by Texas A&M only twice this year has they been outscored in the paint the opening loss to Colorado and their last game which was a win in Oxford against Old Miss this will be the third shot of this possession Jones hanging shooting and scoring off the window 4439 LSU by five as Texas A&M tries to cut into the lead in the third quarter and re snaps the P you just get it you hope your teammate is cut timing play and it worked beautifully for the Tigers my my my in a variety of shots and LSU has not been able to effectively keep her from tallying points in this game 4641 the lead is five again then lith will try to make it eight and she does LSU by eight van lith is holding her ground and that's going to be an offensive foul well you ran into it that was what the problem was man let stopped right there clearly an offensive foul Williams and that's going to be an offensive foul yes it is in officiating and they have been consistent doing it all season long and more and Texas F Johnson got caught on the wrong side of kabali pass went F went up top they went the other way with the pass and all she had to do was Spin and go to the basket Reese one dribble gets close to the rack can't score two aies going down bumping into each other we to Jones he'll take a three on line but a little long that's tipped by Williams she's prancing in the front Court scores or misses with the left hand it's put back in but there was a whistle 86.4% rattles in the first one but when you hit 2930 straight before you finally missed one over a span of what and of course made her Mark and and then some winning four gold medals she played all together on five USA basketball teams from 21- 23 and kabali out in front and Texas aan m like sluggish start to this third quarter for LSU similar the way we saw them start the game in the first quarter Johnson scooping and in the third quarter marrow with a very strong rebound after the jump shot Miss LSU's lead is 10 marrow down to Reese fakes left spins right draws the foul Morrow to Reese and re Reese at the line as just for the record tonight I was going to say she hadn't missed a free throw but she is seven for eight at the strike Johnson gets it down low and that left-handed attempt does not come close by Barker Barker has not had a good night so far for the agers remember she had two early fouls she was frustrated kind of mentally checked out of the ball game and then physically got checked out and reefs will go right back to the line that a lot of players can't to try to get her hands on those rebounds and right now 15 points number one in points per game free throws attempted and free throws made but opponents for Texas A&M are making basically nine a ball game LSU's almost doubled that up and we still have borrow another one of those excellent free throw shooters 83.6% on the year number four in scoring number 12 in rebounding last year Rogers tries to dump it low it's tipped and the outlet pass down to Rees and Reese had it knocked Away by the hustling LSU has scored D straight points and mace 15 points 14 rebounds five assists that's sneaky very nice sliced between a couple of Defenders and lay it in Texas A&M's gain is certainly Auburn's loss she led the alurn Tigers in points rebounds and steals the last two seasons re scores again from Maro now BS gets by Reese lays it up misses Reese there for the rebound and it's poked away and a foul called on Barker meanwhile guess who's back at the free throw line again put your feet in the shoe trees to fit him what if there's two imprints of Angel Reese's shoot there you go one of the last 12 it's a drought scoring drought for the agies of more than two minutes and a nice move shot clock at eight COA at the Top Kicks it left side a long one in the air a long one it's good boy Kim Moi was quarterbacking that entire play hand up on Haley van lift wi to go told Michaela William to start making the move and that's why Kim M's out on the floor you know with all the Sass and the sizzle of women's basketball these days you're looking at a person in Marrow who just quietly comes and does her job and then some every night and has adjusted her game to match up with a player in Angel ree where the two of them playing at different schools last year the tops in the country battling on the inside with points and rebounds and now figuring out how to do it together and both of them averaging very well throughout the season on a consistent basis we blocks it out of the hands of Del Rosario as Hilton is dribbling around pulls up takes a shot no good rebounded by Barker and there's a foul defensively for the Tigers Barker at the [Music] [Applause] strike we mentioned that uh Texas A&M came in with a well-deserved reputation for playing defense LSU tonight has scored nearly 20 points more than Texas A&M is allowed per game coming into this contest goes back to what I was saying earlier about did you just feel the intensity and Victor for the moment or through three quarters of this game the number one offense offensive foul about dirty work that's a lot of the Dirty Work that doesn't get a lot of attention when you're laying your body on the line drawing that contact and she 22 times this year has drawn offensive fouls we had question before the game who wins this battle the number one offense against the number one defense in the country right now by a whopping margin it's the number one offense yeah LSU is pulling away here in the second half now at 73 points that's the most A&M has given up all season Williams with an overthe shoulder blind pass it's ticked out to Van Li her three won't go puts it back in there is a foul and POA and Van LIF go through some sort of routine I think that foul is going to be on Barker who stepped out trying to jump it's her fourth if it is here's another look as Michaela Williams and then watch this one-handed sling out to the wing and it is on her she just kept running towards van lith didn't jump but then ran right into her as van lith was coming back down so give van lith three opportunities at the line oh the way Reese is hitting passes to Van lith like that Morrow few minutes but she's getting dangerously close to a triple double and now 14 A&M on average had given up less than 49 points a game coming into this one LSU at [Applause] 76 to mention that's the most allow Greese with a season High 17 rebounds now tomorrow will go to the line Barker fouls out and Sydney BS replaces her BS is out of Leonia georia and she has played a couple of times Off the Bench tonight see now that was that was fun you don't see it a lot but you saw Barker there school's not even in session and the students that have come and packed this place were going left right left right readying for her to sit down she grabed the water bottle stood in front of the chair and then took a couple of quick left right left right and looked at like come on come on and then she sat down she smiled they all gave her some Applause that's fun to see sure sort of like the Simon says show we saw at halftime yeah exactly I mean she having a good time you're down 25 at least she's enjoying the moment Texas A&M is having a difficult time lately finding points even Rogers has slowed down a bit look at this it almost went Rogers with a slight of hand move as she was flying through the air she tried to make that possession magical at halftime already above her season average but just four now in the last two coming from the more than her season's average of 11 and just above what's LSU averages for the season puts it on the floor beats her Defender and then loses the dribble on the Baseline here comes kabali kulali with a strong move she scores with the left hand and now this player who starred at Auburn before she came to Texas A&M drops the free throw to complete the three-point play she's got 16 look at CLA Johnson take the lane LSU by 20 6 minutes and some change to go we'll check some other SEC scores in just a moment for you're up 20 and the player we focused on at the beginning of the game Who came in averaging 20 and the SEC is only sitting on eight yeah yeah weer throws it away he was out visiting with them weling him asking how everybody was doing it goes back inside after Texas A&M hopes that kabali is okay she's certainly an important player they'll need in the SEC no question about that Texas a as able to get inside for the bucket LSU's lead is 20 with 423 to go and lith stutter dribble stops in the lane kicks it tomorrow this is Johnson and she gets to a stop and that is a travel Rogers for three got it hell you got five players trying to figure out how to guard one who wears number one they can't do it ree snaps it out for an open 14-footer and it's and didn't get it there and that's knocked Lo by Williams as she batted it out of the hands of we Williams fakes right dribbles left and uses the taking a lot of three-pointers hav needed them that lift knocks it Loose momentarily Rogers is able to get it back average about four and a half three-pointers so they're above their season average that's Michaela Williams who lost it that's Jones that got a hand in there and deflected it and then van lift with the deflections got the breakway Johnson oneon-one lays it in with the left hand 16 Van lift 14 and Johnson 10 for the [Music] Tigers 75 seconds to play LSU is going to win its third SEC game and it's 16th in a row that Target in the first game since then LSU has learned its lesson has gotten better and better and it's going to be fun that helps us do this and enjoy it each and every time we do it it's been a pleasure indeed it has matchup in the SEC that that student line might already be forming for that game it might it might Rogers quick release got another one oh she's been besselman is in the game for LSU wearing number 14 and white a crowd [Music] favorite that's Izzy besselman defending down low we've got a [Applause] whistle LSU by 17 this could be the last possession delz leans over the dribble so the tigers making some late substitutions as Angelica valz the 57 fresman from the Bronx New York will just dribble it out and LSU is on its way to its third consecutive SEC Victory to open the season it's done here in Baton Rouge Tigers 87 Aggies 70 sluggish start for these teams to start this ball game but then when ell Sho found its rhythm
