The preseason women’s college basketball polls for the 2023-24 season were released on Tuesday, and for the first time in program history, the Tigers enter the season at the top of the rankings.
LSU ranked No. 1 in both the USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll and AP Top 25. Coach Kim Mulkey’s team earned 29 of 32 first-place votes in the former and 35 of 36 in the latter, with the remaining votes going to UConn in both polls.
The Tigers are coming off the first national championship in program history, and they look primed for a potential repeat this fall after bringing back stars [autotag]Angel Reese[/autotag] and [autotag]Flau’Jae Johnson[/autotag] while also adding All-American transfers [autotag]Hailey Van Lith[/autotag] and [autotag]Aneesah Morrow[/autotag].
LSU will tip off the 2023-24 season in Las Vegas against Colorado on Nov. 6.
