The accolades keep rolling in for LSU’s national championship basketball team.
LSU earned a best team nomination while [autotag]Angel Reese[/autotag] was recognized in the breakthrough athlete category.
LSU went 34-2 and took the sport by storm in March on its title run. LSU’s national title win was one of the most-watched games in the history of the sport.
Reese rose to prominence at Maryland the year before and was always seen as an impact transfer but at LSU, she reached another level.
Reese averaged 23 points and 15.4 rebounds per game while receiving All-American honors.
LSU enters next season as the favorite to repeat. Reese will be back along with the addition of top transfer [autotag]Hailey Van Lith[/autotag]. Pair those two with the past two [autotag]Kim Mulkey[/autotag] recruiting classes, and you have the most talented team in the country.
Among the greatest names in all of sports 🔥
LSU was nominated for an ESPY as the best team and Angel Reese is up for the best breakthrough athlete award!
