With the 2025 SEC Tournament officially underway, LSU women’s basketball was well represented in this year’s SEC Awards, as forward Aneesah Morrow (Sr.), guard Flau’Jae Johnson (Jr.) and guard Mikaylah Williams (So.) were all named as First Team All-SEC performers.
F Aneesah Morrow (Sr.) – First Team All-SEC, All Defensive Team
From Chicago, to the Bayou, LSU women’s basketball forward Aneesah Morrow has been dominant no matter where she took to the court, and in the not too distant future, she will continue to do it in the WNBA.
Having begun her career with DePaul from 2021-22, through 2022-23, there was no doubt in anyone’s mind that Morrow was good. Recording 21.9 points, 13.8 rebounds, 2.7 steals and 1.8 blocks per game as a freshman, she was dominant from the moment she hit the college level.
The only question was, could she do it against SEC level competition?
Well, as we now sit in the back half of her senior season, it’s safe to say that she was able to do it against SEC level competition. Not only did she earn First Team All-SEC honors each of her two seasons in Baton Rouge, but she was also most recently named to the SEC All Defensive Team.
As a senior, Aneesah Morrow took things to another level, averaging 18.2 points, 14.0 rebounds, 2.5 steals and 0.6 blocks per game. As if that weren’t impressive enough, the 6-foot-1 star forward also showed a level of rebounding dominance we’ve only seen one other time in college basketball (men’s or women’s), as she became just the second player all-time to record at least 100 double-doubles over the course of her career.
G Flau’Jae Johnson (Jr.) – First Team All-SEC
Speaking of dominance from the moment she stepped foot on campus, it didn’t take long for LSU guard Flau’Jae Johnson to make a name for herself. Earning SEC Freshman of the Year honors in 2023, all the while pursuing a rap career – releasing her first album later that summer – it was safe to say that Kim Mulkey had found herself a star in the 5-foot-10 guard.
Now, the Savannah, GA, product is one of the leaders of this year’s Tiger basketball team, and she’s quickly turned herself into one of the biggest names in the sport, having most recently been named as a First Team All-SEC performer during the 2024-25 season.
Flau’Jae Johnson, in many ways, is exactly what you’d hope to get out of a guard at the Division I level of women’s college basketball. She’s a leader on, and off the court, practically has the ball on a string, and can create a shot for herself anywhere on the floor.
Only adding to her importance to Kim Mulkey and her purple and gold squad is the fact that she just so happens to be one of the best defenders on the team, often shadowing the top players on opposing teams.
Averaging 18.9 points, 5.8 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.6 steals and 0.8 blocks per game, all while shooting the ball 46.5 percent from the floor, Johnson can quite literally do it all for the Tigers, making her a must-have for her team as the NCAA Tournament quickly approaches.
G Mikaylah Williams (So.) – First Team All-SEC
There might not be a better pure scorer in women’s college basketball than that of LSU guard Mikaylah Williams. Her stat line alone might not be the most jaw dropping thing you’ve ever seen, but it’s largely due to the fact that she also happens to have eyes in the back of her head and has a love for sharing the rock with her teammate.
Shooting the ball at a 46.6 percent clip, with a 38.7 percent average from beyond the 3-point line, it’s not hard to feel confident when the 6-foot sophomore pulls up to score.
Yet another SEC Freshman of the Year (2024), Williams has the potential to be a truly dominant force in this sport, and if there weren’t so much talent on the LSU women’s basketball roster, she would almost certainly get more of the credit she deserves from the national point of view.
Still, most recently being named a 2024 First Team All-SEC performer, the respect is slowly starting to flow in. If anything, it’s just a matter of how much better she can be in 2025 as a junior.
Starting in all 31 of the Tigers’ games this season, Mikaylah Williams is currently averaging 17.5 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.2 assists, and 1.2 steals per game. Additionally, having scored 20+ in each of her last three games, it’s safe to say she’s only just starting to play her best basketball of the season, which could, and should, bode well as LSU heads into the SEC Tournament this week.
