Flau’jae Johnson gives LSU women the spark they need to pull away from Missouri
After Angel Reese finished a layup through contact, Flau’jae Johnson, crouching a few feet to her right, slapped the floor three times.
Johnson didn’t score that basket halfway through the second quarter Thursday against Missouri. She didn’t even assist it. But she did set it up by hustling in transition, closing a large gap with a heavy sprint and sailing across the lane to block an open layup attempt by a Missouri guard.
With that block, she jolted the LSU women’s basketball team in its 92-72 win in the Pete Maravich Assembly Center, providing the spark that the No. 7-ranked Tigers (14-1) needed to break free from a close battle, and ultimately, distance itself from a pesky Missouri squad in their Southeastern Conference opener.
LSU, the nation’s leader in free-throw attempts and makes, didn’t earn a trip to the foul line until Reese drew contact on that layup. At that juncture, four minutes of the second quarter had ticked away, the game was tied 27-27 and LSU had already committed three turnovers in the period.
From that moment on, LSU outscored Missouri (9-5) by 20 points.
Missouri’s trapping zone defense clogged LSU’s driving lanes, shrunk its windows for entry passes and kept Reese and Morrow off the glass, limiting the opportunities they could find for second-chance points.
In the first half, LSU grabbed only two more rebounds than Missouri. It shot only eight free throws. And it allowed Missouri to grab seven offensive boards and convert 5 of 16 attempts from 3-point range. Missouri star forward Hayley Frank, with her 3-point shooting prowess, pulled Reese away from the rim and out on the perimeter, where she hit four shots from long range.
It all meant that LSU had to fight for the win. Missouri erased its usual advantages in rebounding and free-throw attempts peppered it with 3-pointers, outscoring it by 15 points in the category across the first two quarters. The Tigers from Baton Rouge had to find an advantage elsewhere.
Which they did — after finally earning trips to the foul line. LSU finished the night shooting 17-of-21 at the free-throw line, where they gained a 10-shot advantage over Missouri.
Largely thanks to six free throws by Reese, Last-Tear Poa and Mikaylah Williams, LSU closed the first half on an 8-0 run and entered halftime with a seven-point lead.
From there, Johnson and Williams gave LSU another wave of scoring that pushed its lead to 17 halfway through the third quarter. First, Williams nailed a 3-pointer, LSU’s first of the game, from the left wing. Then, Johnson buried a 3 from the exact spot on the next possession, before grabbing a rebound and finishing a coast-to-coast layup through contact on the other end.
Johnson, in her best outing of the new season, finished with 24 points, five rebounds and three steals. She shot 11-of-17 from the floor. Only one LSU player, Poa, earned minutes off the bench before the score was out of hand.

It’s All Madsen In Missouri High Limit Tilt – SPEED SPORT
WHEATLAND, Mo. — It was all Kerry Madsen on Saturday night at Lucas Oil Speedway as the 54-year-old native of Australia, who’s now based in Knoxville, Iowa, picked up his first Interstate Batteries High Limit Sprint racing victory.
Madsen led all 30 laps to earn the $12,000 prize. He outdistanced runner-up Sue Lynch by 2.79 seconds with Tanner Holmes finishing third.
“The car’s been super quick every time we’ve hit the track,” Madsen said, noting several competitive runs in the early portion of the High Limit schedule. “The car’s been quick every night, which gives you a lot of confidence.
“We haven’t drawn well in dashes and had some little stuff going on. We drew a good one (tonight) and the car was good and we got the job done. I’m pretty happy.”
That changed this time as Madsen beat Holmes in the dash, to claim the pole position for the feature.
Madsen said his young crew chief Ty Wolfgang has “done a great job” getting in sync with him. Communication has been a big key.
“I know it sounds weird, but just hanging out together,” Madsen said of the driver-crew chief chemistry. “Dinner and a beer and just talk about racing. You do that and it might be a Wednesday night, but something clicks. He’s been real receptive with that stuff and that’s great.”
Madsen, a former Knoxville Nationals 360 winner, paced the early going after starting from the pole, with Holmes in close pursuit. Action slowed on lap six with Chase Randall and Danny Samms III tangling in turn two for the first and only yellow of the event.
Lynch moved into second on the restart as Madsen opened a 1.5-second lead by lap nine as Holmes dropped to third. Madsen’s margin swelled to nearly two seconds by lap 11 – but Lynch tracked down the leader and cut the deficit to a half-second at the halfway mark on lap 15.
As the race continued until green-flag conditions, Madsen settled into a one-second advantage as Lynch and Holmes tried to keep pace. Madsen poured it on in the late stages, cruising to the checkers by nearly three seconds over Lynch.
“Hopefully we can keep rolling like this all year. Obviously, you can’t win every night, but being quick and running well is going to be awesome,” Madsen said.
Lynch, 28 from Cowansville, Pa., said the team found some steering issues and gave him a fast car. It just was not fast enough to stay with Madsen on Saturday night.
“We were battling steering issue in the dash and it was pretty obvious,” Lynch said. “We just didn’t have time to change it and we just tried to make it the best we could. Really the car was super good. The guys busted their butt all night. It’s a testament to the team. We’re working hard and hopefully one spot better real soon.”
Holmes, a 22-year-old from Jacksonville, Oregon, came home third with Daison Pursley fourth, Hank Davis fifth and Rico Abreu charging from 11th to sixth.
“Our best night of the year,” Holmes said. “We’ve got to race a little bit during a break with High Limit these last few weeks. Some of those nights when we got our teeth kicked in taught us a lot.”
Fast overall qualifier was Sye Lynch at 13.342 seconds out of Group A. Aaron Reutzel led Group B with a lap of 13.469 seconds. Both were well off the track record for 410 Sprints held by Rico Abreu at 12.829 seconds on June 29, 2024.
The finish:
Feature: 1. 55-Kerry Madsen[1]; 2. 42-Sye Lynch[3]; 3. 13-Tanner Holmes[2]; 4. 9-Daison Pursley[4]; 5. 17GP-Hank Davis[5]; 6. 24-Rico Abreu[11]; 7. 7BC-Tyler Courtney[12]; 8. 77-Giovanni Scelzi[6]; 9. 19-Brent Marks[9]; 10. 26-Justin Peck[10]; 11. 88-Tanner Thorson[15]; 12. 21-Brian Brown[14]; 13. 28-Jace Park[23]; 14. 87-Aaron Reutzel[7]; 15. 19JR-Joel Myers Jr[20]; 16. 45X-Rees Moran[21]; 17. 5-Brenham Crouch[19]; 18. 44-Chris Martin[8]; 19. 19H-Kaleb Johnson[22]; 20. 87X-Logan Seavey[17]; 21. 36-Jason Martin[16]; 22. 9R-Chase Randall[18]; 23. 24D-Danny Sams III[13]; 24. 2-Miles Paulus[24]
