LSU defeated Iowa to win the NCAA Women’s National Championship for the first time in the school’s history. Along with star player Angel Reese, another lady tiger who stepped up big when the lights shined the brightest was senior guard Jasmine Carson, whose career game aided LSU in setting two game records. They scored the most points in a quarter for a Women’s NCAA Championship game (32), as well as the most points in a half (59).

But the real story here comes from how she was perceived during her breakout performance. Prior to the championship game, Carson was not nationally recognized, as she scored a combined 11 points in the first five tournament games leading up to the championship. Then produced nearly double that in just two quarters!
Jasmine Carson showed up BIG when it mattered most

After going 5/5 from three in the first half, her name started trending on social media. With the help of Lil Boosie, Jasmine Carson’s name became “LSU’s Ice Spice”.
Nah Boosie said jasmine Carson is LSU’s “ice spice”
