LSU faces one of its toughest SEC schedules in five years, including three ranked opponents in the first five conference games, after rebounding struggles against Kentucky.
- On Sunday at Memorial Gymnasium, Vanderbilt Commodores beat LSU Tigers 65-61, updated Jan. 4, 2026.
- Despite nonconference dominance, LSU Tigers finished with the nation’s best rebounding margin and bench, but Kentucky Wildcats dominated the glass Thursday, exposing vulnerabilities in SEC play.
- The game featured Vanderbilt's Mikayla Blakes scoring 32 points and LSU shooting 36% with eight turnovers in 10 minutes, disrupting LSU's offense.
- The defeat leaves LSU with two straight SEC losses, and Kim Mulkey, LSU head coach, warned of a brutal early SEC schedule packed with multiple tough opponents this year.
- Mulkey said `We've got to get more production from a few other players` and noted LSU younger players must learn quickly as she evaluates the new-look LSU roster in January.
