LSU women's basketball entered the NCAA record books with Sunday's dominating 101-47 victory over Texas Tech in front of a home crowd in Baton Rouge.
The No. 2 seed broke the DI women's record for most 100-point games in a single season with their 16th triple-digit scoreline. Long Beach State previously held the mark, tallying 15 100-point games during the 1986/87 season.
LSU tied the record in the first round of Women's March Madness, ousting Jacksonville 116-58 on Friday. The back-to-back blowouts made the Tigers the second-ever team to open an NCAA tournament run with consecutive 50-point victories.
"Obviously, as a basketball player, and just like a little girl growing up watching basketball, it's everybody's dream to have their names in the history books," junior guard Mikaylah Williams said. "So, it's truly a good feeling and a blessing to even be able to do this."
Williams co-led the team with 24 points against the Red Raiders, sharing the stat with senior guard Flau'jae Johnson. Amiya Joyner added a double-double with 11 points and 11 rebounds, while Kate Koval registered 10 points and 10 rebounds.
In her postgame press conference, LSU coach Kim Mulkey downplayed the record's significance.
"I don't think one thing about it," Mulkey told reporters. "That is not something that, when I'm in my rocking chair, I'm gonna tell the grandkids, 'You know what we did one year?' I'll forget it. But I won't forget those national championships, those conference championships."
