Aneesah Morrow tallied 23 points and 15 rebounds while two other Tigers topped 20 points as No. 5 LSU defeated Vanderbilt 83-77 on Monday in Baton Rouge, La., to remain unbeaten.
LSU (19-0, 4-0 Southeastern Conference), which is off to its second-best start in program history (23-0 in 2022-23), also got big nights from Flau’Jae Johnson, who scored 25 points, and Mikayleah Williams, who put up 20 points on 8-of-13 shooting.
The Commodores (14-4, 1-3) pushed LSU, going bucket for bucket with the Tigers for a half and entering the fourth quarter down just 58-57.
Vanderbilt trailed by three after Iyana Moore hit a pair of free throws with 1:26 to play. Williams and Johnson missed shots on the ensuing possession, but Morrow gathered another offensive rebound, her fourth of the game, and converted with a bucket to push the lead back to five.
Khamil Pierre led the Commodores in scoring (28) and rebounding (eight). Moore chipped in 23 points, while Mikayla Blakes had 12.
