In what was going to be the final game inside the Pete Maravich Assembly Center regardless of result, the LSU women’s basketball team’s magical turnaround season came to a harsh end at the hands of Ohio State.
The biggest weakness on LSU’s team this season was defending the three-ball and that was the worst possible mismatch against Ohio State’s incredible shooting from three. The Buckeyes buried LSU to the tune of 10 threes on 22 attempts and it felt like more.
LSU had a pair of small leads. Khayla Pointer started the game off with a three on the opening possession to give LSU a 3-0 lead and then the Tigers scored a quick five points to grab an 8-4 lead with 5:03 remaining in the first quarter.
