Tonie Morgan hits buzzer-beating 3 to give Kentucky a win at No. 5 LSU

by

What. A. WIN.

Kenny Brooks and his Kentucky Wildcats just went into Baton Rouge and took down the previously unbeaten No. 5 LSU Tigers with a buzzer-beating 3-pointer from Tonie Morgan to come away with an 80-78 victory, one of the biggest wins in program history.

Morgan finished the game with a team-high 24 points on 7/10 shooting (3/3 from deep) and a game-high 12 assists to go with three rebounds.

Teonni Key, who returned to the lineup after a brief injury absence in recent weeks, went for 17 points on 8/14 shooting with a game-high 16 rebounds.

All-American candidate Clara Strack chipped in 15 points (6/13 shooting) and nine boards.

This is arguably the biggest win thus far into the Kenny Brooks era, as LSU has been a college basketball powerhouse since Kim Mulkey arrived in 2021. Her Tigers have made three straight Elite Eight trips and won the 2023 NCAA National Championship.
