Flau’jae Johnson’s LSU Career Ends in Buzzer-Beater Loss to Duke

Ashlon Jackson dribbled away from Flau’jae Johnson and sank a rim-rattling 3-pointer at the final buzzer to eliminate LSU from the NCAA Tournament. As Duke celebrated its thrilling 87-85 victory, Johnson walked toward the LSU bench in disbelief, burying her face in her hands.

The heartbreaking loss marked the end of a legendary run for Johnson, a McDonald's All-American and national champion. The senior guard, expected to be a top-five WNBA draft pick, expressed regret for the result but thanked the program for everything it gave her.
