For the first time in program history, the LSU women’s basketball team is ranked as the No. 1 team in the Preseason AP Poll.
Kim Mulkey’s team was nearly a unanimous preseason No. 1 as all but one voter tabbed the Tigers as the top team going into the season. LSU returns plenty from last year’s team, including Angel Reese and Flau’jae Johnson, that won the program’s first NCAA Championship and it added the top two players out of the transfer portal as well as the nation’s No. 1 ranked recruiting class.
Before finishing last season ranked No. 1, the last time the Tigers held the top spot was during the 2004-05 season.
The Tigers will tip off the season by hosting their first of two exhibition games on Thursday, October 26 against East Texas Baptist and on November 1 against Loyola (New Orleans).
LSU will begin their season on November 6 in Las Vegas against No. 20 Colorado before returning home to host Queens (N.C.) on November 9 when they will raise the National Championship banner in the PMAC.
