LSU’s Angel Reese named SEC Player of the Year
LSU’s Angel Reese has been named the SEC Player of the Year after once again leading the Tigers to a fantastic campaign.
Reese becomes the third LSU player to win the award after Seimone Augustus (2005-06) and Sylvia Fowles (2008). She was also named to the First Team All-SEC team by the league along with teammate Aneesah Morrow.
She’s joined as a postseason award winner by SEC Freshman of the Year Mikaylah Williams, making LSU the first SEC team to have players win both awards since South Carolina did so in 2015.
Reese led the SEC in scoring (19.1) and rebounding (13.0), becoming the first player to do so in back-to-back seasons since Vanderbilt’s Wendy Scholtens in 1989-90.

Reese has 20 double-doubles in the season, giving her 54 in her two-year LSU career. Though she’s eligible for the WNBA draft, the fourth-year junior has the opportunity to return to Baton Rouge for one more season if she chooses.
