LSU's Mikaylah Williams and Flau'Jae Johnson Make History in Heated SEC Battle

The top-15 clash between No. 7 LSU and No. 13 Oklahoma on Thursday night wasn't just a high-stakes SEC matchup-it was a record-breaking brawl that saw tempers flare, history made, and Kim Mulkey livid over officiating. In a game that resembled a street fight more than a typical conference matchup, LSU rose victorious, 107-100, marking the highest-scoring SEC game in program history.

Names Were Etched in NCAA History

While the physicality and fiery fight dominated the headlines, LSU's sophomore duo, Mikaylah Williams and Flau'Jae Johnson, delivered a performance for the ages. The pair became the only Division I teammates in the last 25 years to each record at least 25 points, 5 rebounds, and 5 assists in a single game against an AP-ranked opponent.

Williams put on a shooting clinic, finishing with 37 points on 12-of-20 shooting, including a scorching 7-of-12 from beyond the arc. Meanwhile, Johnson put up her best all-around game with 25 points, 7 rebounds, and 5 assists, proving to be a perfect complement to Williams' offensive explosion.

Kim Mulkey Fumes Over Officiating

While Williams and Johnson were rewriting the record books, head coach Kim Mulkey was making headlines of her own this time for her heated reaction to a technical foul called on sophomore center Aalyah Del Rosario. The controversial call came after Rosario was assessed a flagrant intentional foul for an elbow to Oklahoma's Raegan Beers, a decision Mulkey vehemently disagreed with.

After junior guard Flau'Jae Johnson was called for a foul moments earlier, Mulkey's frustation boiled over. She snatched a clipboard from assistant coach Seimone Augustus and angrily smashed it, leaving Augustus momentarily stunned. Her outburst resulted in a technical foul, further escalating an already intense atmosphere inside the PMAC.

Despite her fury, Mulkey eventually regained composure, and LSU maintained its focus, holding off Oklahoma's furious fourth-quarter rally.

A Game for the Ages

The 107-100 final score set a new program record, for the most points scored in a SEC game, surpassing LSU's previous mark of 106 points against Florida last season.

Oklahoma clawed back from a 24-point deficit, capitalizing 11 second-half LSU turnovers to make it a one-possession game in the final minute. But as they has turnovers to make it a one-possession game in the final minute. But as they had all night, William and Johnson delivered in the clutch. Williams' dagger three-pointer with 24 seconds left sealed the win, ensuring the Tigers remained undefeated at home and moved to 7-1 in SEC play, just behind South Carolina.

The Tigers now turn their attention to a Sunday showdown against Mississippi State, while the Sooners will look to regroup at home against No. 12 Kentucky.
