Jasmine Carson isn’t a name many recognized before the national championship.
But now she’s got social media buzzing after her 21 points for LSU in the first half vs. Iowa boosted the Tigers to its first NCAA title.
A champion, Carson sat on the podium, brimming ear to ear:
I would definitely say this is the game of my life because I won a national championship on the biggest stage possible in college. But, when I woke up, I just wanted to win. I wanted to do anything my team needed in this game, whether it was defense, rebounding, anything, supporting them. I scored, and that’s what pushed us and got us momentum and I’m just proud of my teammates.
Carson scored just one point in the second half, finishing the game with 22 points.
Prior to the championship game, Carson had a three game scoring drought. She had only scored 11 points in the entire women’s tournament heading into the Sunday’s game, making her 22 point performance that much more spectacular.
Here’s everything you need to know about the woman who went 100% across the board in shooting in the first half of the 2023 women’s national championship game between LSU and Iowa.
