The No. 5 LSU women’s basketball team will look to match the best regular-season record in program history as Kim Mulkey’s squad goes for its 27th win on Sunday evening against the Mississippi State Bulldogs.
It will be senior day for the Tigers (26-1, 14-1 SEC), and they will honor [autotag]Jasmine Carson[/autotag], [autotag]Alexis Morris[/autotag], [autotag]Emily Ward[/autotag] and [autotag]LaDazhia Williams[/autotag] at halftime of the game against MSU (20-8, 9-6 SEC).
“Senior day is coming up Saturday at five o’clock against maybe the hottest team in the SEC right now,” Mulkey said in a release. “They are really, really playing good to get off that bubble and get to the NCAA Tournament.”
LSU has already locked up the No. 2 seed at the SEC Tournament, though a South Carolina loss on Sunday would allow the team to grab a share of the conference title with a win. The Bulldogs, meanwhile, have won five of their last six and sit in a logjam in a tie for fifth in the league. A win would go a long way for both its conference seeding and NCAA Tournament hopes.
[autotag]Angel Reese[/autotag], meanwhile, will aim to match [autotag]Sylvia Fowles[/autotag]’ school record 27 double-doubles against the Bulldogs on Sunday. Here’s everything you need to know to follow this game, which tips off at 5 p.m. CT on the SEC Network.
