LSU WBB 2025-2026

[JellyBean]

LSU has some solid players. That SEC, especially the clear favorites, is going to be a battle.

 

[sivad40]

True, she didn't make many final fours, BUT she has a 100% winning percentage when she does make it, Four Final fours produced four NCs

4 out of 5. In 2010, Baylor lost to UConn 70-50 in the National Championship Game. That was Griner's freshman season and Tina and Maya's final season playing together.

Hines can flat out score. In all honesty, I hated to see her go to LSU simply because I was afraid she could get lost in the shuffle of all the guard talent the Tigers have. She's not quite the physical specimen of some of those ladies, but she can score in bunches.

I think she was the first one to commit to LSU. She committed in March last year, the rest of class rounded out by the fall.

Per Gary Redus on an interview I saw online, Bella has been the 2nd leading scorer in the scrimmages they’ve had all fall so it’ll be interesting to see how much she’ll play. LSU definitely could use some more 3 point shooters to stretch the floor

To be precise, Mulkey's Baylor Bears lost to UConn in the semis that year, not the finals. UConn defeated Stanford in the 2009-10 NC game. Kim is 4-0 in National Championship games.

Yes I was wrong. That was her only semifinal loss.

And I was “wronger ” than you.

LSU might be the most athletic team in the country this season. Going to win some games off sheer physical ability.

Losing Fulwiley and Watkins didn’t help South Carolina, which probably holds that “title” most years.

"Most athletic team in the country"??? Based on what? Size? Jumping ability? Speed? Endurance? None of the above? Whatever your answer is, I think there will be teams in the SEC who will challenge that notion, as well as the upper teams in the ACC and Big Ten.

"Going to win some games off of sheer physical ability"??? Gee, ya think? With the cupcake OOC schedule that Kim routinely schedules, how could they not?

LSU is athletic but probably the 6th or 7th best team in the SEC

Definitely think mulkeys best days are behind her. Her coaching as of late has deteriorated a bit as her roster construction

I’m not sure Williams and Flaujae can overcome this

 

[Gamecockfan77]

I wouldn't say the LSU frontcourt is particularly athletic. They do have a ton of guards which is I guess what the poster is referring to.

Grace Knox and Joyner (to an extent) are athletic. Koval is not, defensively I find overall she does well moving for her size at 6'5 but no not the most athletic in general so there will be limitations facing teams who do go 5 out or teams who bring their bigs out to the perimeter

LSU scores 100 for record 7th straight game

No. 5 LSU set an NCAA record with its seventh consecutive 100-point game, routing Marist 113-53 at the Paradise Jam tournament.

Not sure this is a record I'd brag about?

LSU based on what I’ve watched of them currently looks like maybe the 5th or 6th best SEC team. Above average guard play, I’m not sold on their bigs and the freshmen has been a bit disappointing for a “top class”

Mulkey has a major issue with her HS recruiting. Either horrible evaluation, development or probably both

 

[ConnMotors]

I’m sure that Kim loves it. How many wins do the combined teams that they beat have? And, what conferences are they from. I have always liked KM but watching them put on a show over a bunch of young ladies trying to compete is over doing it.

Isn’t this where the reputation for bully ball culture her programs have been saddled with comes from? The taunting and vaunting behavior.

 

[rugbymate]

what compels a coach to consistently schedule such uncompetitive games every year?

 

[DefenseBB]

Current OOC Massey rank is #206….to say that is pathetic is an insult to the word pathetic. They do play Duke this coming week who will be the 1st ranked under 50 on their schedule and only the 2nd ranked under 200…

 

[HuskyNan]

The OOC schedule doesn’t have one team with a winning record

And yet Kim has won as many nattys in the past decade as Geno. I agree it's a desultory approach and no fun for the fans, but I've seen folks question Mulkey's Methods year after year, and she continues to prove us all wrong by the end of the season.

I’m not defending it cuz I think it’s weak. But the SEC is the best conference. They will get tested. We shall see the. What kind of team LSU is.

Just curious why you chose a decade for comparison purposes when Mulkey is in her 26th year as a head coach?
