The LSU women’s basketball team is on an extreme hot streak right now.
In the past six contests, the Tigers, led by coach Kim Mulkey, have scored at least 100 points. Yes, you read that right. This ties the all-time women’s college basketball record for six straight games of scoring 100 points. Guess which team previously held the record? The 1981-82 Louisiana Tech Bulldogs, a team that the young Mulkey played on. Talk about a wild coincidence.
Mulkey has now accomplished the incredible feat twice in her career, once as a player and once as a coach. It helps that her Tigers are also 6–0 to start the season.
Here’s a look at the six contests from LSU this season. The Tigers are the first SEC team to achieve this impressive streak.
And, here’s a comparison to Mulkey’s Louisiana Tech squad from the 1981–82 season when they completed six consecutive 100-point contests.
LSU will be back on the court next Friday against Marist with a chance to take the streak to seven games.
