I loved the Womens Basketball Hall of Fame..Its was my first time being there and it was outstanding to see the care for women and the sport of basketball. It was sooo cool. I really enjoyed the video at the beginning of the tour...it really made it interesting wanting to know more as we went along. It has such a great blend of history and entertainment. I learned so much about our game that I hadn't realized. It was definitely a special trip.
One of the more enjoyabe moments at the Hall of Fame was watching our team try to re-create the famous weave of the All-American Red Heads. We started our tour with a video that had footage of the Red Heads playing. We then saw their touring station wagon. It was a great history lesson.

The Lady Tigers were a 70-53 winner over Arkansas on Thursday night and have won four of their last five games. LSU (19-8, 8-7) is still in contention to earn a first-round bye for next week’s Southeastern Conference Tournament but the Lady Tigers need help with losses by either Vanderbilt or Georgia.Tickets to watch Hightower’s final game are on sale now at the LSU Athletics Ticket Office, online at LSUsports.net or by calling 1-800-960-TKTS or 225-578-2184.

The list includes Cornelia Gayden, LSU’s all-time leading 3-point shooter with 337 treys. Gayden played from 1991-95 and drained an NCAA record 12 3-pointers versus Jackson State on Feb. 9, 1995. The milestone still stands today.Hightower will be recognized in a special pregame ceremony on the floor. The 5-foot-10 guard has won 99 games during her career at LSU and will be going for win No. 100 in her final home game. Hightower has been the Lady Tigers’ most valuable player and arguably the SEC’s most valuable player the past two seasons.
The following post and photos come from Lady Tiger Temeka Johnson who is playing overseas and ran into another Lady Tiger Hanna (Biernacka) Bouldwin thousands of miles from Baton Rouge where they once played together:
"It was so great seeing Hanna and reminiscing about the days we had at LSU. With all the years that past between us, it was still old times. Hanna has grown so much and her and her husband Maurice are making it slowly but surely over here in France. The Lady Tiger Love is strong and like the picture shows, it goes along way."
