While they fell just short on Sunday afternoon, Aneesah Morrow didn’t let a broken nose get in her way in the Elite Eight.
The LSU star broke her nose in the second half of the Tigers’ 72-65 loss to No. 1 UCLA on Sunday afternoon at Spokane Arena in Washington. That knocked them out of the women’s NCAA tournament and sent the Bruins, who earned the No. 1 overall seed in the event, into the Final Four.
Morrow briefly went down after taking an accidental shot directly to the nose from teammate Sa’Myah Smith — who was trying to guard UCLA star Lauren Betts at the time.
