Last year, LSU won it all, with Angel Reese shining as the Lady Tigers took down the Iowa Hawkeyes and Caitlin Clark in a historic NCAA title game. A little over seven months later, the then-No. 20 Colorado Buffaloes gave LSU the business, serving the then-No. 1 Lady Tigers their first loss in their first game of the season.
It was shocking and a cruel reminder of how fickle success truly is in sports. The defeat was a result of a plethora of factors—from a poor second quarter, a starting five that didn’t mesh and Colorado’s Aaronette Vonleh catching fire, scoring 24 points on 11-for-15 shooting from the field.
Following the loss, head coach Kim Mulkey made adjustments to the rotation, placing Annesah Morrow on the bench. The move worked, as Morrow has scored in the teens in the three games since becoming the now-No. 7 Lady Tigers’ super sub. Another positive after the negative start to the season has been the emergence of Mikaylah Williams. The freshman guard went off against Kent State, scoring 42 points as she missed just five shots in the dominant win. Thanks to her play—and a relatively gentle schedule—LSU is back to its winning ways, currently sitting at 3-1 on the season.
