At a university where nearly every athletic program is nationally relevant, there’s never a shortage of options. There are always electric playmakers to be found.

The Reveille Athlete of the Week is LSU women’s basketball forward Aneesah Morrow.

It was a tough week for LSU athletics, with women’s basketball suffering its first loss at the hands of South Carolina, and gymnastics falling to Arkansas. But in the midst of adversity, Aneesah Morrow was certainly a bright spot.

Morrow etched her name in the history books, as she now ranks No. 2 in NCAA Division I career double-doubles.

Morrow, a senior forward, has recorded double-double performances in all but two games this season, and has recorded double-digit rebounds in all but one game.

In her two seasons at DePaul, and her season-and-a-half at LSU thus far, Morrow has averaged a double-double, making her arguably one of the most consistent post players in the college game.

But along with her consistency, Morrow has shown grit that has proven essential going into SEC play.

“Her motor. Her energy. You want to be people who have her kind of energy,” Mulkey said of Morrow.

Morrow had a season-high of 26 points along with 16 rebounds in LSU’s 100-54 win over Grambling.

In the team’s 117-44 win over Charleston Southern, Morrow recorded a season-high 20 rebounds along with 21 points.

“She’s a walking double-double,” Mulkey said. “She’s just a joy to coach because that’s how she is every day in practice.”

Morrow currently averages 18.5 points per game along with 14.3 rebounds per game this season.
