Women Been Ballin’!
Y’all are Just Late to the Party
Hey, Angel. We see you, sis. They can’t, but we do!
March madness was just that… and more. The Louisiana State University Tigers, my favorite basketball team (and the team that launched Dr. Mosley’s career in sport) took home the championship this year - and they did it with style. This team displayed the poise, chemistry, and talent of champions.
Let's give a huge round of applause to these incredible student-athletes: Angel Reese, Alexis Morris, Jasmine Carson, Flau’jae Johnson, Kateri Poole, LaDazhia Williams, Emily Ward, Amani Bartlett, Last-Tear Poa, Sa’Myah Smith, Izzy Besselman, and Alisa Williams. You all worked tirelessly, pushed through adversity, and emerged victorious. And we can't forget about the coaching staff, equipment managers, and everyone else who supported this amazing team. You all played a crucial role in this historic win.
And because I’m a biased athletic trainer, an extra special congratulations to Associate Athletic Trainer for LSU Women’s Basketball, Amanda Barbee. Your tireless efforts behind the scenes helped keep these athletes in the game and we're grateful for your dedication.
So cheers to the LSU Tigers, a team that will go down in history as one for the books.
We are looking forward to next season!
While we’re on the subject, let’s talk about my favorite LSU Tiger, the one and only Seimone Augustus. Brace yourselves, I’m about to go full fangirl…
Augustus was recently honored with a statue outside of the Pete Maravich Assembly Center! It's no surprise that this All-American, no. 1 draft pick, four-time WNBA champion, and three-time Olympic gold medalist has left an indelible mark on the basketball world. But now, with her own statue, Seimone's legacy is truly set in stone. Her incredible legacy doesn't stop at her own accolades. She continues to inspire the next generation of basketball players. Thank you, LSU. This statue is a fitting tribute to a true basketball icon.
In case you missed it: this beautiful post-championship moment between Augustus and LSU star, Angel Reese, tells you everything you need to know about the impact of Seimone Augustus and the future of Women’s College Basketball. Congrats to you both.
