Lane Kiffin Makes Request to Everyone Involving LSU’s Basketball Team

The team’s star player previously celebrated her final regular-season home game on Feb. 26, when she scored 10 points in an 89-73 win over Tennessee.

Senior guard Johnson was named a third-team AP All-American on Wednesday. She also recently became the sixth player in program history to reach 2,000 career points, joining scorers such as Sylvia Fowles and Seimone Augustus on that elite list.

Speaking recently at a press conference about Johnson’s legacy, Mulkey became emotional. She noted that Johnson stayed at LSU for four years and will also graduate.

“She’s going to be dearly missed, not just in my program, but at this university,” Mulkey said.

The coach also addressed the cost of attending the postseason event, saying that the university does not control ticket prices and urging fans not to complain about the expense.

Johnson, who helped Mulkey and her team win a national championship in 2023, is projected as a top prospect for the 2026 WNBA Draft.

For now, however, the NCAA champions’ focus is not on the draft but on the current tournament:
“This year is about really being here, really being in the moment,” said Johnson, a two-time First-Team All-SEC selection.

Fans will arrive at the arena to watch their star, Flau’jae Johnson, score and compete against the Dolphins, but only time will decide the outcome.
