Exciting news: I’m moving into a full-time role

News: LSU is expected to make Kim Mulkey the highest paid women's basketball coach in the country. The 10-year, $32 million deal needs final approval from the board of supervisors, which meets Friday.

As for Kai Rivers, it’s bad news, per Jay Clark: an Achilles injury. LSU doesn’t yet know the severity, but they’re concerned it’s a tear or rupture.
If so, it’d be LSU’s 3rd this year. And the 2nd of Rivers’ career. Just brutal
While warming up on floor, Kai Rivers took an awkward tumble on a pass. Couldn’t put any weight on right ankle.

For Jasmine Carson, it took a few minutes for it all to sink in. Much like she was all game, Carson was calm postgame, unfazed by the celebratory chaos.
Inside the moment it hit her: LSU had won the title. And Carson was the hero.

Perfect example of Flau’jae Johnson’s defensive IQ. After the game, she said she made a quick decision to block the layup w/ her left hand, not her right, to avoid the foul.
