Angel Reese watches LSU score 131 points in historic 109-point rout of Texas Southern

Angel Reese returned to LSU and saw the Tigers' 109-point win over Texas Southern, the largest by a D-I team over another D-I squad.

Alumna Angel Reese returned to watch her alma mater LSU women's basketball as they shattered NCAA records on November 5, 2026, with a 131-22 victory over Texas Southern. The Tigers, led by head coach Kim Mulkey, limited their opponent to just 22 points, setting a new program high and tying their season opener record of 129-35. Seven different players scored in double-digits, with no opponent player reaching double-digits.

Jada Williams scored 18 points and seven assists, while Mikaylah Williams scored a team-high 20 points.

Senior MiLaysia Fulwiley led the charge with 15 points and six assists. Freshman Anna Minaeva, a 6'5" Russian import, entered the game as a rookie and scored 21 points off the bench. Reese praised Minaeva during the game, hoping the Atlanta Dream would draft her in the WNBA. Reese, the 2026 WNBA Defensive Player of the Year, was honored by LSU athletic director Verge Ausberry during halftime with flowers, a golden crown, and flowers in the shape of the brand "Bayou Barbie."

Coach Mulkey praised the support from fans, saying the crowd made it a special homecoming for her. She hopes her players will carry the same pride and support for their alma mater after their college careers.
