This was Morrow’s 4th straight game with at least 15 rebounds. With 1,412 career rebounds after Tuesday’s game, Morrow has cracked the top-25 for most rebounds in NCAA DI history.“She’s a walking double-double,” Coach Mulkey said about Morrow.
“At the beginning of the season, my shot was a little inconsistent,” Williams explained. “But the reps don’t lie. I just kept shooting and kept building and kept working. When you start to make them in the game, the rim looks real big.” Sa’myah Smith got a tough floater to fall as time expired in the first quarter to give LSU a 22-15 lead. Morrow led the Tigers in both scoring and rebounding in the first quarter with 7 points and 5 boards.
Morrow’s dominance was on full display in the second quarter, and the star forward was able to earn her 11th double-double of the season long before the halftime buzzer sounded. The Tiger defense was stout in the second quarter, as the Pirates turned the ball over 4 times and shot 4-16 from the field.
