LSU women’s basketball began its quest to repeat as national champions on Monday with the first practice of the season, and as an added bonus, it was held at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center and was open to fans.
In total, 2,500 fans attended the practice, according to a release. It was the first of 30 practices the Tigers are allotted over the next 42 years before they begin the season against Colorado in Las Vegas on Nov. 6.
“Talent is there,” coach [autotag]Kim Mulkey[/autotag] said at her pre-practice press conference, according to a release. “We can score the ball at a lot of positions, really at all positions. And we have lots of depth. I can’t hide that. When you come and watch us, it’s a very talented team offensively. We have a good mixture of returning players and newcomers.”
The Tigers return stars from last season in [autotag]Angel Reese[/autotag] and [autotag]Flau’Jae Johnson[/autotag], and they also added a pair of All-American transfers in [autotag]Hailey Van Lith[/autotag] and [autotag]Aneesah Morrow[/autotag].
With those pieces, this looks like a team primed to compete for another title.
