Mulkey quickly made LSU’s women’s basketball program elite after she was hired from Baylor, where she won three national titles. She won her fourth this past season in just her second campaign with the Tigers.
With a loaded roster on deck once again, Mulkey’s team could enter the 2023-24 season as the favorite to repeat.
