A pair of LSU women’s basketball stars find themselves on the late-season watch list for the Wooden Award, which is given annually to the most outstanding player in both men’s and women’s college basketball.
[autotag]Angel Reese[/autotag] and [autotag]Aneesah Morrow[/autotag] grace the list, making LSU one of four programs with multiple players on the watch list. Morrow and Reese rank in the top 10 nationally in double-doubles with 13 and 13, respectively.
Morrow has been an impactful transfer addition this season, ranking in the top 10 in the SEC in scoring, rebounds, field-goal percentage and steals. Reese, meanwhile, leads the nation in 20-point double-doubles despite missing four games earlier in the season.
