LSU Mounts Second Half Comeback in 85-66 Win Over Alabama
BATON ROUGE – No. 13 LSU trailed Alabama by 10 at halftime on Sunday in the PMAC, but the Tigers ratcheted up its defensive pressure in the second half and battled to win the game, 85-66.
Aneesah Morrow, who finished the game with 9 points, went over 2,000 points in her college career. Angel Reese led the Tigers with another doubled-double, scoring 27 points and grabbing 19 rebounds.
Guard Aaliyah Nye scored a team-high 19 points for the Crimson Tide, and guard Jessica Timmons led in assists with 6.
Alabama built its lead in the first half by shooting 8-19 from deep, but LSU did not allow the same looks in the second half and limited Alabama to six made threes in the second half. The Tigers also got their offense rolling, doing a good job of sharing the ball and being relentless on the boards while hitting open shots.
LSU improves to 21-4 (8-3), while Alabama falls to 19-7 (6-5). LSU will be back in action on Monday, February 19, visiting Texas A&M at 6 p.m. CT in Bryan-College Station.
