BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) --- Flau'Jae Johnson and MiLaysia Fulwiley scored 18
points apiece and No. 5 LSU set an SEC record for most consecutive 100-point
games with a 112-49 victory over Alcorn State on Thursday night.
The Tigers' sixth straight game with at least 100 points broke the record of
five set by LSU's 2022-23 national championship team.
LSU (6-0) is averaging a nation-leading 115.2 points with an average victory
margin of 60.2 points.
Mikaylah Wiliiams and Katie Koval each added 15 points and Grace Knox had 12.
Nakia Cheatham had 16 points for Alcorn (2-3), which had more turnovers (31)
than field goals (18). Maya Hunkin-Claytor contributed 11 points.
The Braves, playing the second of five SEC teams on their non-conference
schedule, trailed by 10 points with 3:08 left in the first quarter when the
Tigers went to work.
An 18-0 LSU run starting in the last three minutes of the first quarter and
stretching to the 7:14 mark of the second period sent the Tigers toward their
57-21 halftime lead.
Fulwiley scored eight of the Tigers' last nine points in the first quarter,
including a buzzer-beating 3-pointer to close the period. Koval, who came off
the bench for the first time this season because coack Kim Mulkey was
experimenting with her starting lineup, had seven points and six rebounds in
the second quarter.
LSU pushed its lead to 86-35 after three quarters. The Tigers reached the
100-point mark with 4:24 left to play on Koval's three-point play.
