LSU WBB Still Undefeated

The LSU WBB team has been on a roll this season, with multiple starters averaging double-digit points per game and an undefeated record. This past Thursday, the Tigers had to travel to Knoxville, TN, to battle the Lady Vols. Now something to highlight in this match-up is that not only are both of these teams ranked in the top 25 but Tennessee head coach Kim Caldwell has been coaching this season while pregnant. LSU head coach Kim Mulkey joked before the game that she “hoped that the game gets so exciting, I’ll (Mulkey) go down and help deliver it.”. Well, Kim Mulkey was right about the game being exciting, the game was a back-and-forth game that came down to the wire. It was a tied game, 87-87, with 8.5 seconds left in the fourth quarter with the ball in junior guard Kailyn Gilbert’s hands, she took a few dribbles to set up her defender and, with her speed, blew past her defender to lay in the game-winner. She ended the game with 22 points and helped LSU to move to 17-0.
