Flau’jae Johnson’s stepdad Ameen Brooks drops 2-word reaction for LSU teammate’s IG dump
LSU star Flau'jae Johnson's stepdad Ameen Brooks showed his support for her teammate Jada Richard. On Monday on Instagram, the freshman guard shared several photos of herself in Sunday's 64-51 win over Texas A&M.
Brooks responded to the photos with two words:
"I believe."
Richard came off the bench to score seven points to help LSU beat A&M. The freshman guard has been impressive, despite seeing limited time. She is averaging 3.3 points, 0.5 rebounds and 0.9 assists on 41.5 percent shooting per game.
Flau'jae Johnson's LSU defeats Texas A&M despite poor scoring
LSU star Flau'jae Johnson had 22 points and five rebounds in the Tigers' 64-51 win over Texas A&M on Sunday. However, she was unhappy with LSU's performance.
"Personally, I think we could have did way better," she said (Timestamp: 1:08). "We had a couple of defensive lapses where they shot off near kills, which is like three stops in a row. So, we got to clean that up on defense. And, they was at the free-throw line. We put them at the free-throw line.
"So, you take away those free throws, they score about 10 points in the first half."
The Tigers struggled with scoring as they were limited to 31.9% against the Aggies. However, LSU limited the visitors to 31.4% shooting.
LSU's biggest strength was the defense and rebounds, with Aneesah Morrow reaching 1,538 career rebounds in the game, cementing her place in the top 10 in NCAA Division I history.
LSU forced 21 turnovers and grabbed 52 rebounds, with its 30 offensive rebounds being the most in a Southeastern Conference game in program history.
"Thirty offensive boards, 21 turnovers,” LSU coach Kim Mulkey said. (Timestamp: 11:36) “That’s rebounding, and that’s defense, and when it’s tough for you on the offensive end, that’s what keeps you in ball games, and that’s what helps you win ball games. And I know I’ve preached that since I’ve been here, but this is a great example of it today.”
Up next, No. 7 LSU (21-1, 6-1) will host No. 13 Oklahoma (16-4, 4-3) for the annual whiteout game on Thursday night.
