Mikaylah Williams leads cold-shooting No. 12 LSU to upset win over No. 2 Texas

She was also clutch when it mattered most, too, with this contested three to extend LSU's lead to seven with just over one minute remaining:

LSU relied on its defense to support Williams' big effort, forcing 17 Texas turnovers, seven of which came in the opening quarter. The Tigers also clamped down on Texas' leading scorer, Madison Booker, who was forced to sit for nearly the entire second quarter after picking up two early fouls.

She still managed to score 24 points (10-of-16 FG), but her foul trouble definitely made it difficult on the Longhorns to keep pace. On top of that, senior guard Rori Harmon, who has stepped up and knocked down some clutch shots of her own this season, only had two points (1-of-7 FG) as Texas struggled to find any balance aside from Booker.

Entering Sunday, LSU was the highest-scoring team in the country with an average of 101.8 PPG. A lot of that, however, is due to the Tigers putting up at least 100 points in 11 games this season, something they have not done since conference play begin.

Back-to-back wins, including the upset over Texas, will help ease those concerns to a degree, but it is fair to wonder how LSU will fare throughout conference play as teams limit its scoring opportunities and the shots are not falling at the rate the Tigers were used to earlier this season.

Poor shooting aside, that did not seem to matter on Sunday as Williams took charge on offense and the LSU defense shut down a previously unbeaten Texas team to pick up the program's biggest win of the season by far.
