Despite losing star forward [autotag]Angel Reese[/autotag] to the WNBA draft, the LSU women’s basketball team is gearing up for what should be another special season in Year 4 under coach [autotag]Kim Mulkey[/autotag].
The Tigers enter the year ranked No. 7 in the preseason AP Top 25, and they have several players who received preseason accolades from the SEC media. LSU’s top returning stars in [autotag]Flau’Jae Johnson[/autotag] and [autotag]Aneesah Morrow[/autotag] were named preseason Co-SEC Players of the Year ahead of what should be a big season for both.
Unsurprisingly, they were each named First Team All-SEC preseason selections. [autotag]Mikaylah Williams[/autotag], who impressed as a true freshman last season, is a preseason Second Team All-SEC selection.
The Tigers reached the Elite Eight last season where it fell in a rematch against the Iowa team it beat to win a national championship the prior year. LSU will hope Mulkey’s team is set for another deep run next spring.
