The LSU Lady Tigers and Central Michigan Chippewas tipped off at 11:15 on Saint Paddy’s day in the old St. John Arena on Ohio State’s campus. The Lady Tigers came into the game ranked in the AP poll, while the Chippewas were ranked higher in the RPI.
The game started off like many do, with the two teams playing tentative, before CMU started to find the bottom of the net more frequently, building a 26-16 lead after the first quarter. Presley Hudson, mostly outside, was 4-6 for 10 points, while Tinara Moore was 3-5 for 6, mostly inside.
