On Saturday Night, the LSU Lady Tigers put together one of their most dominant performances of the year to open the NCAA Tournament with a 103-48 win over the San Diego State Aztecs. LSU looked fresh after the extended time off especially stars Flau'Jae Johnson and Aneesah Morrow who finally had time off to get healthy.
After the game, Kim Mulkey was asked about the complete and unselfish play her team showed sharing the ball to which she said the following.
"I think your word unselfish is spot on and I said that to them in the timeout. We had a lot of ball reversal, we shared the ball, we also have a talented team and they don't have to share the ball sometimes they can take you off the dribble, and we did some of that tonight."Kim Mulkey
Kim Mulkey was then asked about how she thought Aneesah Morrow and Flau'Jae Johnson played in their first games coming back from injury.
"I think Aneesah got a little frustrated, 4-11 from the field I said those are great moves down there she was spinning down on the block and they'd rim in and out, just keep shooting it."Kim Mulkey
Kim Mulkey was asked about how her defense performed making San Diego State look for three pointers more than their season average.
"Yes but, they also missed some open looks, and we talked to them about it at halftime. Maybe we rushed their shots some but, they missed some wide-open looks."Kim Mulkey
Kim Mulkey was asked about the matchup ahead as LSU will face off against the Florida State Seminoles on Monday Night to which she said the following:
"I'm going to always say defense, make your free throws. We're getting ready to play a very talented Florida State team with the leading scorer in the Country, we got our hands full they have so much length and they alter shots."Kim Mulkey
