LSU’s single season leader in steals, Raigyne Moncrief Louis finished the 2016-17 season with 107 steals in 32 games played. With four steals against No. 3 South Carolina, Fulwiley jumped into the all-time top-10 at LSU for steals in a season, currently ranking 7th among LSU players.

After eclipsing 1,900 points against No. 4 Texas and becoming the 7th LSU Tiger to eclipse that milestone, senior guard Flau’jae Johnson inches closer to the 2,000 point mark.

Most recently, LSU junior guard MiLaysia Fulwiley had a career performance against the 17th-ranked Ole Miss Rebels with 26 points, lifting the seventh-ranked Tigers to a 78-70 victory. The fourth quarter defense for LSU shined against the Rebels, holding the home team to 0-of-17 shooting with the only points coming from seven free throws.

LSU overcame a 10-plus point deficit for the first time since the Tigers came back from 12 points down against Kentucky on February 23, 2025. In the last 6 24 of the game, LSU went on a massive 19-1 scoring run to secure the ranked victory.
