🔼 Big Four. LSU women’s basketball leads the nation with four players on the Wooden Watchlist! Angel Reese, Flau’Jae Johnson, Hailey Van Lith, and Aneesah Morrow landed on the Wooden Award Women’s Player of the Year Watchlist. Players listed are strong candidates for the award, but others are still eligible for the midseason list, late season list, and National Ballot. With the way things are heading, Mikaylah Williams and Sa’Myah Smith could make an appearance!

🔼 Fall Fun. Spikemark released their fall rankings yesterday and the LSU women’s golf team landed at No. 11. Ingrid Lindblad remains the No. 1 amateur golfer in the world and is ranked No. 5 after two wins in three events this fall. LSU as a team won the Illini Women’s event and finished in second-place in the Cougar Classic. They’ll start the spring season in Puerto Rico February 4-6.
