Easily her best game at LSU. Think she has a couple years of eligibility left. Need her to start stepping up like that.

Seemed like they played through their big 3 and it opened up the game for players like Smith. That’s how it has to be going forward. It disrupts everything when Poa or Gilbert are running things.

It was beautiful to watch. Great team basketball all around. They play like that the rest of the way they can win it all!

Actually, if you all recall, this is how she was playing last season BEFORE SHE TORE THAT ACL. It looks like here towards the end of the season, she's feeling like herself again.

If LSU has any shot at winning this it will come down to her. We know we got the big 3 but her size and play will determine if we can beat the teams with the big girls like USC and South Carolina. Didn't watch the whole game tonight but my only gripe I have seen from her over the year is she gets lazy in the lane sometimes and lets girls go right around her for layups.

You nailed how she has been all year and how this is the her we need to go past the S-16. Last night she was on a different level. She was boxing out and following shots all night. Bodying up the FSU big girls. It’s like it clicked all of a sudden! 9-9 from the floor is legit.

She brought it. We have a chance to win it all if she plays this well.

Yeah she really shined but I’ll wait and see if it continues before I say she turned the corner. Here’s to hoping she does

She played really well; however, a lot of the credit should go to Aneesah. FSU would double her up down low which freed Smith for the easy lay ups after a pass from Aneesah. Aneesah had 7 assists I believe.

She’s getting back to basketball shape physically and mentally . People don’t realize what an injury like that does to players . Smith has a high ceiling if she continues to develop and shake back
