Tigers Gamer: Gilbert’s heroes help LSU survive Tennessee – 103.7 Games

After removing Missouri’s tigers, LSU’s sixth ranked women’s basketball team returned to its home floor to host the 19th Tennessee volunteers. Kailin Gilbert took over the second half and was a major factor for LSU, as he beat Tennessee 82-77 to improve up to 25-1 and 10-1 in the SEC game.

How did it happen:

It took about three minutes to get into the rhythm of the LSU and Tennessee game. Flau’jae Johnson and Sa’myah Smith scored the first two minutes to give the “tigers” in the beginning of 4-0.

Michael Williams hit the first three points of LSU to raise her team early before Tennessee took his first lead at 9-2. Zi Spearman scored twice as Ruby Whitehorn and Spair jewelry went into the paint to put the volunteers of the lady 11-9 in the middle in the first quarter.

The rest of the opening period has been back and forth with three changes in lead over the last five minutes. Williams hit a few jumps and Mjracle Sheppard scored twice, including one arrangement that tied the game to 18. Whitehorn scored seven points in three baskets in the last three minutes. By the end of the quarter, LSU kept a narrow lead of 22-20.

The second quarter was also full of action. Johnson scored the first four points before Morrow became an opportunity as Spearman fouled in the game. This bucket was the beginning of the 7-0 mileage, which put the tigers nine with six and a half minutes before the half.

Then Tennessee began to light him behind the rainbow as Spear knocked back from the back from the three -point line and reduced the LSU lead to three. Jada Richard made the second three for the Kim Burlm Team in the 2:46 brand, and Williams struck another shot to come out with seven minutes. The only other shot that was made at the time was a Spear, who made another shot from the city center to cut him to a four -point game aimed at the dressing room.

LSU entered half up 41-37. Tigers went 0-4 to their last four possessions.

The first three minutes of the third quarter were not in favor of the Tigers, as they missed their first six shots and turned the ball twice. At that time, Lady volunteers went to 7-0 to climb three. Williams ended with the LSU drought point, but the free throws and nuts of Taleysia Cooper supported Tennessee 47-43 with less than six minutes to go to a quarter.

The last 5:38 was dominated by Kailin Gilbert, as she scored 10 points for LSU, twice as a three -point scope, a medium -range jumper and a charity pair to lift his team with four.

Cooper continued to score for Lady Vols, attracting a few more fouls to Tiger’s players and entering the paint to cut her to a two -point game. Gilbert, however, scored one and knocked out an average jumper to finish his impressive third quarter of 15 points.

Richard struck pulling to lift the tigers with six before Sooning made a free throw with three seconds to go in the period. Williams looked like he had made three three, but he had been waving after a review, showing that the ball had not left his hands before the clock hit zero. LSU was still 62-57, heading for the fourth.

Tennessee started the last quarter at 9-3 run to get one out. Four Lady Foolcoer players scored this running with Tess Darby, making their first shot. The only shot for the tigers was three from Gilbert.

Then Tennessee continued with three minutes of drought, with LSU continuing with 8-0. Putting on Whitehorn ended the land for the Vols and was their only bucket by 2:42, when Cooper chose Gilbert’s pockets and went to the coast to the shore for the transitional bucket.

The ability of Morrow and One was good and put LSU with eight before Tennessee continued 6-0. After two minutes left, Whitehorn scored twice in paint and knocked out a few free throws to make a two -point game with 23 seconds S

Gilbert and Morow made all four free throws late to help secure the 82-77 win for LSU, giving them their 25th victory for the season. Tennessee fell to 17-6 in the loss.
