LSU’s Aneesah Morrow Nears Historic Milestones in Dominant Season

BATON ROUGE, La. — LSU senior Aneesah Morrow is on the brink of making NCAA history as she continues to dominate the court this season. The 6-foot guard needs just 12 more rebounds to become the eighth NCAA Division I player to join the exclusive 2,500-point, 1,500-rebound club. Additionally, she is three double-doubles away from securing second place on the all-time double-double leaderboard.

Morrow’s latest standout performance came in LSU’s victory over Tennessee, where she recorded 23 points and 21 rebounds. This marked her fourth career game with at least 20 points and 20 rebounds, a feat no other active Division I player has achieved more than twice. Her relentless effort on the glass helped LSU outscore Tennessee 24-14 in second-chance points and 60-30 in paint points, offsetting the Lady Vols’ 30-point advantage from beyond the arc.

“Six-foot kid, battling in there, guarding bigger, stronger, taller players,” LSU coach Kim Mulkey said. “From the get-go, she just does what she does.”

Morrow’s rebounding prowess has been a cornerstone of LSU’s success this season. She is averaging a career-high 14.4 rebounds per game while shooting 54% from the field, both personal bests. If she maintains this pace and LSU plays two postseason games, Morrow could finish her career with over 1,700 rebounds, placing her among the top four in Division I history.

LSU, currently ranked No. 5 with an 18-0 record, is also chasing program history. The Tigers need five more wins to match the 2022-23 team’s record of 23 consecutive victories to start a season, a campaign that ended with a national championship.

Next up, LSU faces Vanderbilt (14-3) on Monday at 6 p.m. on the SEC Network. The Commodores, coming off losses to No. 12 Kentucky and Ole Miss, will look to disrupt LSU’s perfect season. Meanwhile, Morrow’s pursuit of milestones adds another layer of intrigue to the matchup.

“Her work ethic is second-to-none in practice,” Mulkey added. “That’s what you see in the game. She’s just got a motor, and it never stops.”
