LSU's Fulwiley shines in key matchups, leading Tigers to victories over Missouri and Ole Miss

MiLaysia Fulwiley delivered standout performances in LSU’s recent SEC matchups, scoring 22 points with 11 rebounds against Missouri in a 108-55 victory and then posting a career-high 26 points in a comeback win over No. 17 Ole Miss, 78-70, according to multiple reports from Yahoo Sports. Her scoring was crucial in LSU’s rally from an 11-point deficit in the final eight minutes against Ole Miss.

The dominant win over Missouri extended LSU's home winning streak and tied the school record for the largest margin of victory in an SEC game. LSU outshot Missouri significantly and controlled the boards, further showcasing the Tigers’ strength at home, where they hold an 11-2 record this season.

In the tight contest against Ole Miss, Fulwiley's late-game layup and steady free-throw shooting helped LSU complete their rally. Ole Miss was led by Cotie McMahon, who contributed 25 points, but LSU’s defense and clutch playmaking proved decisive in the Tigers’ victory.

Both wins keep LSU firmly entrenched in SEC competitiveness, as the Tigers are currently ranked No. 6 or No. 7 in major polls, preparing for a key upcoming home game against Tennessee. Fulwiley’s scoring consistency remains a critical factor in LSU’s quest to maintain momentum deep into conference play.

Looking ahead, LSU’s performance under Fulwiley’s leadership will be pivotal as they aim to advance in the SEC standings. The upcoming matchup with Tennessee, a strong shooting team, will test LSU’s home dominance and resilience on both ends of the floor, making Fulwiley's role increasingly important for the Tigers’ postseason aspirations.
