The regular season is in the books, and LSU’s women’s basketball team is turning its attention to the NCAA Tournament. It’s a No. 3 seed and looking to defend its national title this season behind last year’s star Angel Reese and transfer addition Aneesah Morrow.
Both were honored by the USBWA All-American teams, which were released Tuesday. Reese is a First Team All-American, while Morrow was named an honorable mention.
Reese has double-doubled in 12 straight games, and she became the first player since Vanderbilt’s Wendy Scholtens in 1989-90 to lead the SEC in scoring (19.0) and rebounding (13.1) in back-to-back seasons.
Morrow, meanwhile, is a transfer from DePaul and is averaging 16.3 points and 10 rebounds on the season. She also leads the team in steals (87) and blocks (41).
