Flau'jae Johnson, No. 8 LSU run past Auburn 78-48 in the SEC Tournament

For an LSU team that had its share of struggles and drama earlier this season, the eighth-ranked Tigers appear as sharp as they were a year ago during their run to the national title.

Second-seeded LSU will face either No. 3 seed Mississippi or 11th-seeded Florida in Saturday’s semifinals. Whoever the Tigers face will have a challenge keeping it close if they keep playing this well. Auburn played LSU as tightly as any SEC opponent this season, winning 67-62 at home in January before falling 71-66 in the rematch a month later. Any chance of nailbiter ended quickly as Auburn missed its first 14 shots.

LSU’s Last-Tear Poa, starting in place of injured SEC freshman of the year Mikaylah Williams, had six points in the first quarter, which ended with LSU ahead 27-5.Honesty Scott-Grayson, who made the all-SEC first team and averaged 18 points per game, finished with four points. A frustrated Scott-Grayson also picked up a technical foul in the third quarter for shouting from the bench.
