DURHAM, N.C. (Interstat) — The undefeated and top-ranked LSU women’s basketball team puts its perfect record on the line Thursday against Duke in a nonconference showdown at Cameron Indoor Stadium. The Tigers (7-0), reigning national champions, have dominated opponents by an average margin of 54.3 points this season. They are coming off a 112-35 rout of Washington State on Saturday where Flau’jae Johnson scored 16 points. LSU’s high-powered offense has scored no fewer than 101 points in a game. Duke (3-5) seeks a program-defining upset to halt a difficult start. The Blue Devils have dropped five of their last six, including an 89-59 loss at UCLA last Thursday. Ashlon Jackson scored 18 points in that defeat. Duke’s defense, allowing 71.6 points per game, faces its toughest test yet against the nation’s most prolific offense. The matchup features a stark contrast in trajectories. LSU has bulldozed its early schedule, while Duke has struggled against a slate that included ranked opponents South Carolina and Baylor. The Blue Devils will need a standout performance from forwards Toby Fournier and Delaney Thomas to contend inside. The game marks LSU’s first true road test of the season. Following this contest, Duke opens ACC play at Virginia Tech on Sunday, while LSU travels to face New Orleans.
