BRYAN-COLLEGE STATION The Texas A&M women's basketball team is looking to defend Reed Arena against No. 13 LSU at 6 p.m. on Monday, Feb. 19. The first 1,000 fans that enter the north entry fan zone before the game will receive a black women's basketball t-shirt.

The Aggies (17-7, 5-6 SEC) are 11-3 at home this season behind their lockdown defense and dominant rebounding effort. The Maroon & White has held three SEC opponents (Vanderbilt, Auburn and Ole Miss) to their lowest scoring games of the season and has built the No. 15 ranked scoring defense in the nation, letting up only 55.2 points a game. Texas A&M is also ranked No. 6 in rebound margin (11.0) and No. 8 in rebounds per game (44.7).

Aicha Coulibaly has filled up the stat sheet throughout the 2023-24 campaign and erupted for a season-high 20 points in A&M's previous game versus Vanderbilt. The senior guard is top three on the team in scoring (12.5) rebounds (5.7), assists (2.2) and steals (2.1) per game.

No. 13 LSU (21-4, 8-3 SEC) is venturing to Aggieland on a three-game win streak and boast the No. 2 scoring offense in the country, averaging 90.1 points per contest.

Good day to put it all together and belong on the court with LSU.

LSU has had a couple of stumbles, so it's not a completely impossible task. I'd love to send the swamp witch back to Baton Rouge with a loss

We will need all hands on deck for a chance at this one.

Rogers and Sole Williams still out.

I sort of understood recognizing Bob Starkey as an LSU assistant last year. But we did it again tonight in year 2.

Really bad defense for A&M to start. Got to make them earn their points at least.

Gap

LSU up 11-4 after 5 minutes. 8 of those LSU points are uncontested layups. Our intensity is low.

Gap

6:14p, 2/19/24

Up to 6 uncontested LSU layups now in less than 6 minutes.

Gap

6:19p, 2/19/24

That was a really bad quarter effort and mistake wise.

Not enough movement by the Aggies on the offensive end, too much standing around and not moving to receive the pass.

Gap

6:30p, 2/19/24

We simply refuse to hustle back on defense. It is like half our team including our presumed leaders want to show their indifference.

Gap

6:35p, 2/19/24

Stats show LSU with 10 layups made in the first 15 minutes.

Fastbreak points stand at 14-2 after 15 minutes.

I expect better in year 2. Rogers being out is huge.

Joni needs to hire some assistants that know basketball

Gap

6:48p, 2/19/24

Down 36-14 at the half.

Totally uncompetitive. Too many people on the court for us with their intensity meter at about 25%.

I apologize. My first foray into women's Aggie basketball for the year. Whatever that was in the first half, it could barely be called basketball. I think I'll give them a few more years before I try it again. It is unwatchable. I miss Gary Blair.

Intensity meter has been an issue the last few games IMO.

14 points in a half for a D1 SEC "top" program. Pretty pathetic.

Taylor has a problem. Her team neither plays hard or smart.

Holy ***** Can't believe we can't even hang with tigers at all

They are better. We are not. And it isn't close.

Gap

LSU 53-22

Looking for a positive, MJ Johnson brought her intensity. Keep her on the floor please.

Gap

7:29p, 2/19/24

Down 30, we have decided that we want to compete. Please bring this level of everything to the tipoff in the future.

Nice 8-0 rally here.....

We had absolutely no chance in this game without Rogers. Misery.

Gig'em Aggies! c/o '98 W H O O P!

aggiedrjdub

7:45p, 2/19/24

We are shooting 7% from behind the arc and 28% overall.

Gig'em Aggies! c/o '98 W H O O P!

Gap

7:47p, 2/19/24

I didn't think we would win without Rogers, but we had no business being down by 30 points in the 3rd quarter either.

2nd year with the transfer portal shouldn't go this way.

aggiedrjdub

7:58p, 2/19/24

3 years of this is really unfortunate for a once proud program. I feel like we are in Texas Tech territory when they won the title. Forever chasing what once was.

LSU fans win too!

Successful black out game though since we played like we were at a funeral.

We are getting trolled so hard on Twitter/X from LSU fans. "Thank you for the extra home game" "4 points in a quarter?" Ugh. Man this is hard to take. I surely hope there are better days ahead. Love Barker, but I'm not sure she will stick around for this. She has a future beyond Texas A&M and I'm not sure how this is benefitting her at all at this point.

Corn dogs gunna corn dog. Kinda just have to live rent free in their heads…
