Mikaylah Williams led No. 5 LSU with 19 points as the Tigers struggled for almost three quarters before pulling away for an 87-61 win against Louisiana Tech in the Compete 4 Cause Classic.
The Lady Techsters were a national power under legendary coaches Sonja Hogg and Leon Barmore. Hogg guided them to a pair of national championships and more than 300 wins across nine seasons, then turned the program over to Barmore, who led them to another national title and 11 30-win campaigns. Hogg and Barmore were co-head coaches from 1982-85.
The Compete 4 Cause Classic transcends the boundaries of the basketball court. This event is designed to promote community engagement in New Orleans, allowing student-athletes to leverage their platforms for positive change. The focus on inspiring underrepresented youth in the area adds a layer of significance to the competition.
