ALBANY, N.Y. — One year ago LSU went back to Baton Rouge carrying a trophy, and with it excitement and newfound fame. This time there is no trophy and no excitement. It’s been replaced by the disappointment of falling short.
It’s not the way Mikaylah Williams wanted to end her freshman season, but the Louisiana native knows what’s waiting for her when she gets home.
“I know our fans love us no matter what,” she said following her team’s Elite Eight loss to Iowa.
The partnership between LSU women’s basketball and Baton Rouge was a welcome shock for Jennifer Roberts, the Tigers' director of player personnel and influence.
