LSU Star Aneesah Morrow Reflects on her College Career
It was an emotional end to Aneesah Morrow’s college basketball career. The LSU star is expected to be a high pick in April’s WNBA draft. Aneesah Morrow gave everything she had for the LSU Tigers. After two years at DePaul, the Chicago native left her hometown looking for a challenge and a chance at a championship. While the Tigers came up a little short, it certainly wasn’t for a lack of effort.
Morrow’s career comes to a close with over 2,800 points and 1,700 rebounds. After the game, Aneesah was emotional while trying to sum up what her experience in Baton Rouge has meant to her. She said, “I would just say, honestly, I’m just grateful for the opportunity. A lot of people don’t get the opportunity that I get and that I receive just to be able to come to LSU. I feel like they help helped me not only mature on the basketball floor, but as a person. And Coach Mulkey, thank you for everything. Seriously.
Coach Mulkey challenged me to be a better person, to be a better player, and she challenged me to be able to make it in the real world. She keep it real with you, she show you how it is, and honestly, I’m just grateful for that. I said that I wanted to leave DePaul and find my second family, and I did that. They have had my back through it all. They have encouraged me throughout the process, and I know that it was hard being away from your family and, honestly, experiencing a culture shock.
I had to grow up a lot. I put a lot on my shoulders to come out and do what I did every night. Nobody in the country did what I did every night. Nobody in the country has done what I did over the four years, and I’m honestly just proud of myself for overcoming as much as I’ve overcome and being able to do it at the biggest level.”
