Auburn don’t play like this against nobody but LSU😭 lsu been getting every teams best all season.
Let’s hope that molds them into championship team we know they can be. They have to learn to calm down at crucial moments if they’re going to win it again
Damm right!!!
Most definitely don’t want to see them in the sec tournament 😂
You're damn surely right 👍 also Mikayla Williams and van lith needs to shoot the damn ball both of these games against Auburn Mikayla Williams and van lith didn't score enough Mikaylas going to have to shoot the damn ball if you can't shoot attack the paint or something but try to get some scoring.
Well they are the reigning champions and have struggled a bit so wouldn’t you okay your best
Hailey and the buzzer beater…..that’s gangsta, and then she just casually went like “🤷🏼♀️ I did it let’s move on” right afterwards 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Lmfaoooooo 😂😂😂😂😂 the way the played Johnson’s song after the buzzer was hilarious
felt appropriate 😅
Which one did they play?
I was at this game last night and both Tigers gave it all they had. Auburn really have some ballers but the home court gave lsu an edge because the stadium was rockN all game
Homer officiating you mean!
Big Flaug!!! #PutSomeRespeckOnHerGame
Angel Reese the rebound Machine❤️💯
13:42 and 14:00 -- del Resario's two highly improbable baskets
They need to convert those buckets and stop the crazy amount of turnovers. They need to learn to work the clocks as well. Their downfall will be their turnovers
Wait 20 rebounds 😮 odeeeeeeee
Last-Tear Poa did her thing 🔥🔥
Del is definitely the reason Angel know how to get Kamilla the ball. She may have missed most of her shots but it definitely helped in the long run
Everything one wants to prove that they can go against LSU girls it's that LSU girls needs to up there game just a little bit more and then they won't be making so many mistakes
Hailey is being ignored by the rest of the team, especially poa. They won't throw her the ball starting in the 2nd quarter. This has probably been their problem all along, but it's just now becoming obvious.
Mulkey forced HVL down everyone's throat. She didn't earn anything, it was just handed to her and Poa doesn't like that. She's not that good either, so they don't feel guilty ignoring her. Also, behind the scenes, she very well may be an a-hole.
Honesty Scott Grayson is a beast
This was a great physical game. There was no real 3pt threat, a lot of turnovers from Auburn. Van Lith came alive and Poa had inspired play. This is good going into SEC Tournament play...still have S.Carolina as the juggernaut favorite to win the SEC regular / tournament and possible NCAAWB title...#Forevertothee
Great write up!!
Why is auburns coach wearing fake gucci???😂
Good eye! The sweatshops use preteens for the knockoffs and they lack stitching skills😂
cuz its cheaper to look good the to spend all that money on something that doesn't hold any value....
That’s not fake lol that’s a $3000 sweater she has on
WOW...lol..
Auburn player goes behind Mulkey as she is chasing a loose ball, because Mulkey is on the playing floor all the time. Never gets called. LSU though, is looking a little better every week.
Coach Kim needs to work on 3 things out of bounds play ...entry passes to the post and the wings AND PG TURNOVERS
How does KIM need to work on that? Yall say anything, if you’ve seen there practices THEY DO. She can’t get on the damn court & do it for them 😂
@@TACKHEAD Exactly, you can tell players what needs to be done and work on it during practice, but it’s up to them to execute come game time
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉geaux tigers.
Horrible job refs.... they allowed the game to be too physically, especially on the Auburn side.
What song that played
LSU celebrating in front Auburn bench 😭🙂↕️
Good game
LSU lost 4 game , IOWA lost 4 game let’s see the next who can beat SC
2nd one here lls
was crazy ta me is.. hailey van lith can TO da ball & not get subbed.. but da moment poa turn da ball over she’s benched.. van lith is only a better shooter dan poa.. soo much favoritism being showed between da two is ridiculous..
I'm going to say the refs allowed LSU to get away with a lot of fouls. So ya'll don't come for me, I have no dogs in this fight. Just staying what's obvious.
Nah some calls needed to go on auburn too. Kick in da head etc
first one hereee
for them to be the defending national champions and playing the team that gave them their first L of conference play, they played so bland. they won by 5 and got some bs fouls off auburn. they in for a rude awakening come sunday when tennessee come swinging.
Tennessee should be worried about themselves. I'll be in attendance watching my Lady Tigers open a can of whoop a...
The hate is real in these Streets
