ESPN’s SportsCenter will be live from the PMAC plaza from 1 to 2 p.m. on Thursday ahead of LSU women’s basketball’s top-15 matchup between No. 7 LSU and No. 13 Oklahoma.
The show will feature interviews from LSU gymnastics’ Olivia Dunne and LSU women’s basketball’s Flau’Jae Johnson and Aneesah Morrow. SportsCenter host Christine Wilkerson will interview Johnson and Morrow live, but Dunne’s interview will be pre-recorded.
The live event will be SportsCenter’s first stop this spring, following multiple stops in the fall on campuses around the country.
Johnson and Morrow represent the Tigers on the show Thursday. Johnson is LSU’s leading scorer with 19.7 points per game. Morrow is the nation’s leader in rebounds, averaging 14 per game and double-doubles with 19.
Dunne is a veteran fifth-year gymnastics team member, an All-American on bars, and a returning member of last year’s national championship team. This year, she is a key part of the team on bars, beam and floor.
The PMAC is set to host three top-15 teams in three days: men’s basketball faces No. 1 Auburn on Wednesday, women’s basketball faces No. 13 Oklahoma on Thursday and gymnastics faces No. 9 Missouri on Friday.
Also at the PMAC this weekend, men’s basketball faces Texas on Saturday, and women’s basketball faces Mississippi State on Sunday.
