BATON ROUGE – The LSU women's basketball team hosts Mississippi State on Thursday, February 25 at 6 p.m. CT at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center in its new regular season finale. The Tigers originally were scheduled to play Vanderbilt on Sunday, February 28 before the Commodores opted out of the 2020-21 season in January.
LSU will recognize Joanette Batiste Boutte during the game as part of Black History Month and the Historical Hidden Figures initiative sponsored by the Advancement of Blacks In Sports (ABIS) and Black Leadership Association for Athletes, Administrators and Coaches (B.L.A.A.A.C.). Boutte was the first Black women's basketball and volleyball player at LSU, beginning in 1975.
