Flau’jae Johnson, Mikaylah Williams Make Kim Mulkey And LSU Proud After Entering Special List

Two LSU standouts have been honored for their late-season performances by being named to the Naismith Player of the Year Late Season Team. The players are Flau’jae Johnson and Mikaylah Williams.

The entirety of the selections looks as follows

LSU is one of seven schools to have multiple players inducted onto the list, with no program having more than two players named. In terms of conferences, the Big Ten leads the pack with 11 players inducted, and the SEC is close behind with nine. The ACC rounds up the top three with five entries.

Flau’Jae Johnson and Mikaylah Williams on LSU’s defeat to South Carolina

LSU’s latest outing was a defeat to the South Carolina Gamecocks of Dawn Staley, their nemesis over the last few years. For Flau’Jae Johnson, the 79-72 defeat to South Carolina is something from which the Lady Tigers need to learn.

After the game, she told the press:

“We have a pretty spirited group. We have another tough game coming up. Coach Saban said, never waste a failure, so we are definitely going to learn and grow from it,” said Flau´Jae.

For Mikayla Williams, the Tigers need to stop procrastinating during the first half of their game:

“We just have to look in the mirror and stop dropping this close game, doing what we need to do so that it doesn’t come up to the last two free throws of the game. We have to do more in the first half so that we don’t have to do that much at the end,” said Mikaylah Williams

Things are far from alarming at Baton Rouge, with LSU still fifth in the SEC’s standings. In any case, all 16 teams in the conference make the tournament later on this year.
