Fresh off a massive upset win over the then No. 14 ranked Iowa State Cyclones, the LSU women’s basketball team was rewarded with the No. 24 spot in this week’s AP Poll.
It’s the first time the program has been ranked since early on in the 2019 season.
“It is great to be recognized in the polls,” Kim Mulkey said. “We know it is only someone’s opinion, but it is welcomed. Our season is just beginning, and we know what lies ahead with SEC competition.”
It’s an impressive jump for the Tigers. LSU received votes in the AP’s preseason poll but after its loss against Florida Gulf Coast on November 14, the Tigers hadn’t received any votes at all.
