Johnson, Reese lead No. 8 LSU into SEC Tournament finals in a 75-67 victory over Mississippi
Associated PressGREENVILLE, S.C. — Angel Reese said she and defending national champion LSU will be ready for No. The latest came Saturday when guard Last-Tear Poa, already playing for injured freshman Mikaylah Williams, was taken off the court on a stretcher after hitting her head hard against the court behind the basket in the fourth quarter of the eighth-ranked Tigers 75-67 win over Mississippi to reach the SEC Tournament finals. LSU coach Kim Mulkey said she was told Poa’s scan came back clean and she had movement in her limbs. “And tonight I’m going to rest up and then I’m going to do it again.” South Carolina trailed by 11 at LSU earlier this season before winning 76-70 in overtime. RULE CHANGE Mississippi coach Yolett McPhee-McCuin said LSU’s Poa got hurt because of college basketball rules regarding the call of a block or a charge that allow defenders to move in front of those on offense to draw a charge.
