LSU Tigers vs Auburn Tigers Match Preview – Players To Watch Out For, Head-to-Head and Prediction

The LSU Tigers are in action again to face a tricky SEC challenge. The defending champions will host Auburn at the PMAC looking for their 5th consecutive victory. This will be a shot at redemption for the Lady Tigers after their disappointing 67-62 loss to the visitors in their previous matchup. However, head coach Johnnie Harris will be in no mood to surrender to the might of Kim Mulkey’s crew.

As we prepare ourselves to witness this enticing clash, let’s have a look at the players who can make an impact.

Tigers Expected to Roar

If we talk about the Lady Tigers, two players have been instrumental in their 22-4 record in the competition so far. The double-double duo of Angel Reese and Aneesah Morrow has proved to be a nightmare for the opposition. Reese is currently their best performer with an average of 19.2 points and 12.5 rebounds per game along with a field goal percentage of 50.5. Her teammate and junior guard Morrow is not too far behind with her 17.6 points and 10.1 rebounds. Also, it would be careless of Auburn to ignore the contributions of Mikayla Williams and Flau’jae Johnson who happen to be the team’s best 3-point shooters.

On the other hand, Auburn is no short of talented players in their locker room. Their 5′ 9″ senior guard Honesty Scott-Grayson has the ability to breach through the defenses and cause trouble. Seemingly, she holds an impressive per-game average of 17.8 points. Further, Taylen Collins has some sparking skills in the team’s defensive front grabbing 6.6 rebounds in each contest. Moreover, JaMya Mingo-Young has the best accuracy of 32.1% from the 3-point range.

Moving on from the individuals, both teams have some noteworthy numbers to look into.

Seasonal Run for Tigers

Currently, LSU holds a much better record on paper. Out of the 26 games, they have been victorious on 22 occasions. Also, they are currently second in the Southeastern Conference points table. Contrastingly, the Auburn Tigers have nothing special to offer apart from their victory over LSU at home. They are currently 16-9 in the competition so far which places them at 10th on the points table.

If we go by the numbers, LSU clearly holds the upper hand over Auburn. However, it would be foolish to underestimate the visitors as they have clearly shown that they know how to take them down. We will have to wait and see which team will get the desired result at the end of the game.
