Going back to the final three games of last season’s NCAA Tournament, Johnson has scored 20+ points in 17 of LSU’s previous 27 games. She has scored in double-figures in 33 straight games.

She is just the third LSU player of the past 25 seasons with multiple 25/5/5 games in a season. Johnson has also recorded four double-doubles this season.
