After winning the first national championship in LSU women’s basketball history in just her second season, [autotag]Kim Mulkey[/autotag] has been named as the Allstate Sugar Bowl’s Top Collegiate Coach in the State of Louisiana.
Mulkey was joined by a list of finalists that included her fellow title-winning LSU coach in [autotag]Jay Johnson[/autotag], as well as Tulane football coach Willie Fritz and Delgado baseball coach Joe Scheuermann.
The Tigers went 34-2 led by a number of transfers highlighted by [autotag]Angel Reese[/autotag], who set an NCAA record for double-doubles in a season. It was Mulkey’s fourth overall national championship after winning three in her previous job at Baylor (2005, 2012, 2019).

While the Tigers lost pieces like star point guard [autotag]Alexis Morris[/autotag], they return Reese while adding a pair of highly touted transfers in [autotag]Hailey Van Lith[/autotag] and [autotag]Aneesah Morrow[/autotag].
With another very talented roster in place, the Tigers may enter the 2023-24 season as the favorites to repeat.
