She is Aneesah Morrow, a sophomore sensation for the LSU Tigers. Born into a family in orange, Florida, Aneesah Morrow has risen to greatness as a basketball star.
A slow start was not an issues in Gainesville against Florida. No. 4 LSU opened the game with a 7-0 run before opening the second quarter on a 14-1 run and outscored the Gators , 16-5 to help it stretch things out.
Some things that Kim Mulkey's thrives on didn't go the Tigers' way but adjustments made by Mulkey throughout the game paved the way for those crucial runs. LSU defeated the Gators, 80-63, in its final tune up before traveling to take on No. 2 South Carolina this coming Thursday.
Sophomore sensation Mikaylah Williams paced LSU with 22 points and 8 rebounds. Aneesah Morrow collected her 18th double-double of the season with 20 points, 10 boards. It was the 92nd of her career, which ties her for second all-time with Oregon's Jillian Alleyne.
ANEESAH MORROW FEATURE 'She's a monster': How LSU star Aneesah Morrow has etched her name in the record books
LSU took care of ball at Florida, turning it over just nine times. The extended possessions and the extra ones, LSU forced 23 turnovers, allowed it to build a slow, matriculating methodical blowout win.
Aneesah Morrow and point guard Shayeann Day-Wilson have struggled with turnovers the last four games but against the Gators, who have turned teams over this season, they were clean.
With Kyle, Florida had a distinct size advantage over LSU star Aneesah Morrow and the couple of inches caused the Tigers fits inside for much of the game. Since Mulkey has taken over LSU, the program built its identity on dominating on the glass.
How the Gators easily asserted their size -- finishing the game winning the rebounding edge, 43 to 38, and leaned in on LSU poses some concern for when teams can rely on their size.
