Johnson and Morrow return in form as LSU dismantles San Diego State 103-48 in the NCAA Tournament

BATON ROUGE, La. — Flau'Jae Johnson scored 22 points, Aneesah Morrow had 12 points and 12 rebounds, and LSU overwhelmed San Diego State 103-48 in the opening round of the women's NCAA Tournament. Morrow increased her nation-leading double-double tally to 28 in her first game since hurting her left foot during a March 8 loss to Texas in the Southeastern Conference Tournament. Johnson, who missed that tournament with a right shin injury, exhibited the explosiveness, shooting touch and all-around panache that has made her one of the game's more popular players. LSU, which is the third seed in the Spokane 1 region, next hosts No. 6 seed Florida State in a second-round game on Monday night.
