No. 3 seed LSU was eliminated from the 2025 Women's NCAA Tournament on Sunday with a 72-65 loss to UCLA, the No. 1 overall seed. The defeat came despite 28 points, four rebounds, four assists, two steals and two blocks from star guard Flau'jae Johnson.

It was a very emotional post game press conference for the LSU Tigers. For Flau’Jae Johnson, her junior season concludes in the Elite 8 for the second straight season after winning the national championship as a freshman. The LSU superstar struggled to keep her composure in discussing the game.

But junior guard Flau’Jae Johnson wasn’t about to give up until the final buzzer forced her to. She drilled one more 3-pointer from the wing while Tigers coach Kim Mulkey shrugged her shoulders from the LSU sidelines and outstretched her hands. It was too late. But she appreciated the effort nonetheless. That’s Johnson for you.
