When the game started off, the Tigers looked out of rhythm scoring just 11 points in the first quarter. From that point on, the Tigers exploded outscoring Auburn 27-8 in the second quarter which put LSU in control for the majority of the game never allowing Auburn to get within 10 points in the fourth quarter.
LSU was able to get Auburn's DeYona Gaston into foul trouble which ended up being massive as she scored just 16 points as she was held to just 16 minutes.
Aneesah Morrow led the way for the Tigers scoring 21 points on 9 of 12 shooting while grabbing 14 rebounds recording another double double. Flau'Jae Johnson and Mikaylah Williams didn't have their best shooting day but, combined for 22 points.
The difference in the game was Kailyn Gilbert who scored 17 points off of the bench making 8 of 10 shots in 17 minutes.
