LSU Women's Basketball Routs Texas Southern 131-22, Largest Margin in Division I History
The ninth-ranked LSU women's basketball team beat Texas Southern 131-22 on Thursday night, November 5, at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, marking the largest margin of victory in Division I women's basketball history against a fellow Division I opponent.
Per ESPN, the 109-point margin surpassed the previous record of 108 points, set by Baylor in a 140-32 win over Winthrop on December 15, 2016, when current LSU coach Kim Mulkey coached that Baylor team. LSU outscored Texas Southern 40-0 in the second quarter and went on a 50-0 run bridging the second and third quarters.
Jada Williams scored 16 of her 18 points in the second quarter. LSU set a program record with 53 made field goals, while its 131 points were the second most in program history and its 36 assists the second most by an LSU squad. It was the second consecutive game in which LSU broke its program record for margin of victory, after a 129-35 season-opening win over Southeastern Louisiana by 94 points. LSU improved to 2-0.
Angel Reese, the 2026 WNBA Defensive Player of the Year and LSU great, returned to watch the game in person. LSU next plays McNeese at home on Tuesday, November 10.
