Not sure they played the game of their lives, but the ball bounced there way a lot. They shoot, hit the side of the backboard and goes right to one of their players for an easy shot. We block a shot and it falls short right into their hands for an easy layup, ect....

LSU did not play a good game and had a chance at the end, but like I said the ball just bounced right for Duke and not us.

I believe that Duke was the more aggressive team from the start. They did get all of the right bounces and rolls. Until the second half they were the scrappier team, kind of taking a page from LSU's book.

I think the Lady Tigers were kind of in shock at the beginning, having already beaten Duke handily at their place where Duke never really showed much shooting. And here Duke came out making every shot they took. The two senior guards made everything they threw up. Mair averages 11 ppg, and she scored 22. The big girl Fournier normally makes 56 percent of her free throws, and she made 90 percent this game.

I think understandably the LSU ladies could have been thinking about UCLA, whom they'd just watched. They didn't come out with the same edge. Nobody expected this from Duke.

So well said. Hidden keys of the game was that LSU didn’t respect Duke. This keeps happening. Mulkey needs to look at this for next year

Karma is a bit@@.

When LSU played Duke earlier in the season a lot was said about Flonase not being happy with the way Kara Lawson played her on Team USA. When Flonase would do something good she would look at Lawson and scream. One time she even screamed “what the fuc@ were you doing”. Now, look who cost LSU the game Friday night with sorry perimeter defense guarding the three, Flonase. Karma is a beast.

Flonase hurt them so many times. Worst game of her career

This name-calling is corny and childish.

I think they shot their wad when playing us...they'll be beat by UCLA! Give 'em credit, they've evolved since LSU beat them earlier this year, but they're in for a beating!

And our wasted opportunities didn't help us..too many layups blown and of course, the refs were really tight on us. They missed lots of and-ones on Duke.

I love Flau'jae and will always remember her as a joy to watch. I will always appreciate what she brought to LSU women's basketball.

But can someone refresh me on this? Can anyone remember if Flau'jae hit any clutch baskets in high-pressure situations against top teams at the end of the game with the game on the line that won or saved the game for LSU?

I know MiKaylah has done it for several years now, and Milaysia did it this year.

Just asking for someone to refresh my memory. I don't remember any.
