Three things we’ve learned from LSU women’s basketball’s red

The No. 5 Tigers (8-0) have scored at least 100 points in every game they’ve played this season. Until Friday, when LSU rolled past Marist in the Paradise Jam tournament on the U.S. Virgin Islands, no NCAA team had ever hit the century mark in seven consecutive games.
