The LSU Tigers and head coach Kim Mulkey made history Friday night with a 113-53 victory over Marist at the Paradise Jam tournament. It was the seventh consecutive game in which the Tigers had scored 100 or more points, breaking an NCAA record that stood for 43 years.<\/p>\n

In 1982, Louisiana Tech recorded six straight 100-point games before going on to win the inaugural women\u2019s basketball championship. That Bulldogs team was led by none other than Mulkey, who was an All-American point guard and has coached the Tigers to a 7-0 start this season.<\/p>\n

The winner of six NCAA national championships as a player and coach, Mulkey is used to setting standards. Mulkey won titles as an assistant coach at Louisiana Tech in 1988, as the head coach at Baylor in 2005, 2012 and 2019, and with LSU in 2023.<\/p>\n

However, she wasn\u2019t aware of this particular record until she was informed after the game<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t realize it till after someone said something about it to me just now,\u201d Mulkey said after Friday\u2019s win. \u201cWe don\u2019t talk about that; I\u2019ve never discussed that with any of these kids. It\u2019s not something that\u2019s high on our priority list.\u201d<\/p>\n

With her team currently ranked fifth in the country, Mulkey is looking to lead LSU to its second-ever national title this season. Despite featuring eight additions, the Tigers have jelled quickly. They are averaging 112 points per game, with seven players averaging double figures.<\/p>\n

In Friday\u2019s victory, Mulkey brought in all 11 available players; every one of them scored. LSU has been aided by the return of All-American Flau\u2019jae Johnson for her senior season, averaging 17.1 points per game on 53 percent shooting. Johnson won a national title with Mulkey in 2023.<\/p>\n

LSU\u2019s smallest margin of victory so far this season is 31 points. Contributing to that is a lighter nonconference slate than in previous years. With a dramatically different roster, Mulkey said she took a different approach to scheduling this year. Her squad has yet to play a power conference team.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf I had known that with the eight new players that we were going to score the ball the way we do, I might have scheduled differently,\u201d Mulkey said<\/a>. \u201cBut you\u2019re scared to death with eight new players, and only got two returning players who got significant minutes.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Tigers look to continue their record-breaking start Saturday night in the Paradise Jam Reef Division championship game against Washington State.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The LSU Tigers and head coach Kim Mulkey made history Friday night with a 113-53 victory over Marist…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":320945,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[4,450,451,164248,3,452,453,2664],"class_list":["post-320944","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-breaking-news","tag-breaking-news","tag-breakingnews","tag-headlines","tag-lsu-lady-tigers","tag-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topstories","tag-womens-college-basketball"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/320944","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=320944"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/320944\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/320945"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=320944"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=320944"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=320944"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
