The LSU Tigers women’s basketball team recently won the NCAA title and received a ton of attention. The NCAA title team has added a new player, though. With Hailey Van Lith leaving Louisville, the Tigers may be well-positioned to defend their title the following year. It won’t be shocking to see LSU reach the final four the following season with a group that can shock anyone.
Van Lith played for the Louisville Cardinals and was their finest player before to joining the Tigers. She led the squad to the ELITE 8 after a strong season, when the Iowa Hawkeyes ultimately eliminated her team. Her season was over after a defeat to the Hawkeyes and Caitlin Clark. She is now in a good position to win an NCAA championship thanks to her commitment to the Tigers, though.
