The Tigers' opponent is a familiar one to coach Kim Mulkey — just not in the conference it used to take place in. No. 4 LSU tipped-off at 6 p.m. CT against No. 15 Oklahoma at Pete Maravich Assembly Center on Thursday in the first meeting between both programs since the Sooners joined the SEC conference from the Big 12 in the offseason.

The No. 5 Tigers (20-0, 5-0 SEC) haven’t beaten South Carolina since 2012, which means their losing skid in the matchup now spans 12 seasons, two coaches and 16 games. Even under Mulkey, LSU is 0-4 against the Gamecocks, one of only two Division I teams with more wins than the Tigers over the last four seasons.

There was a stretch where Aneesah Morrow, Mikaylah Williams, Flau'jae Johnson wasn't on the floor vs Texas A&M. What Kim Mulkey thought here.
