Kim Mulkey thinks her LSU team has room to improve in one key area before SEC play begins

This LSU women’s basketball team knows how to score.

If the Tigers hadn’t proven they could before, they most certainly have now, after they threatened to hit the century mark again on Thursday in a come-from-behind road win over Duke .

LSU ultimately fell short of 100 points. It had to settle for 93.

“And look how poor we played in the first quarter,” coach Kim Mulkey said.

To Mulkey’s point — before the No. 5 Tigers (9-0) got a win they could use to solidify their standing among the nation’s best teams — they first spotted Duke a 14-point lead. The Blue Devils eventually cooled off. But by the end of the night, they had, in fact, pieced together one of their best offensive showings of the season, showing Mulkey exactly what LSU needs to tighten up before SEC play begins Jan. 1.
