The No. 8 LSU women’s basketball team (24-4, 12-3) took care of business on senior night beating Alabama (14-12, 5-10) 58-50 and clinched at least a share of second place in the SEC’s final standings.
LSU led for all but 23 seconds Thursday night and was comfortably ahead all night long. The closest Alabama ever got was three points and LSU promptly went on an 8-0 to squash whatever hope at an upset the Tide may have had.
Khayla Pointer had a much better night than her nearly disastrous 1-17 game against Florida. Pointer flirted with a triple-double going for 23 points, 9 rebounds, and 8 assists which moved her into second place in program history in assists.
