WBB team to host LSU Dec 19th

[uiclaflame]

Saw on the WBB IG account that we scheduled a home game vs LSU on 12/19. This is probably the most notable team we've gotten to play us at home on either the mens or womens side in a long time! We talk about getting students to games a lot. If we can schedule premier opponnents at home more reguarly - think that's help greatly. I would think (prob more hopeful than think lol) that many students would show up to a game of this stature for the first time - and hopefully a fun experience leads them to want to come more often or at least spread the word to peers that going to games are fun

That's so cool; good job to coach Bracey for being able to get that. I will be there no matter what and I hope everyone who can go from this messageboard will be there too!

The women's team returned basically everyone from last year and have made some solid additions to the roster excited to see how this team does next year.

Great news!

That is pretty darn incredible. My first thought goes to Georgia Tech but they were the national runner up. This will be the national champs coming in. They won’t have the name (Angel Reese) anymore but I’m sure she’ll be in attendance. However, they’ll still be damn good and ranked.

The only concern regarding attendance is that it is over winter break (Dec 19).

Anything less than the lower bowl being sold out is a disappointment

LSU has a player from Simeon HS (Aneesah Morrow). All-SEC player who transferred from DePaul.

Typically for games like this there is a reason behind it. Wonder if Morrow being here is part of that. Or maybe Angel playing down the Sky now. Or maybe Coach has a connection to the program.
