LSU Women Lose to Texas as Aneesah Morrow Injured

LSU women's basketball faced a challenging semifinal matchup against No. 1 Texas, ultimately falling 56-49, partly due to injuries to key players. Star forward Aneesah Morrow left the game in the third quarter with a foot injury after an awkward fall and returned to the bench in a walking boot, significantly impacting LSU's performance. Morrow's absence compounded LSU's difficulties, as they were already missing leading scorer Flau'Jae Johnson due to a shin injury, and coach Kim Mulkey faced personal challenges. Morrow, who set a school SEC tournament record with 36 points against Florida, is pivotal to LSU's title hopes and is expected to recover before the NCAA Tournament. Texas secured the win despite shooting struggles, setting up a championship game against South Carolina. LSU will use the upcoming break to focus on recovery for Morrow and Johnson in preparation for the NCAA Tournament.
