History

Through the 2018-2019 season, LSU has made 27 AIAW/NCAA competition appearances including 14 Sweet Sixteens, eight Tip top Eights, and six Last Fours. The Woman Tigers have brought home the SEC standard season title multiple times and the SEC Competition title two times.

 

The LSU ladies' b-ball group began play in 1975 as the "Ben-Ladies," with mentor Jinks Coleman. In their second time of play, the group came to the AIAW public title game prior to losing to highest level Delta State, 68-55. Coleman ventured down in the center of the 1978-1979 season and was supplanted by Barbara Swanner, who thus drove the group for three and a half seasons. The 1981-1982 season saw the NCAA become the overseeing group of university ladies' b-ball. LSU didn't play in the primary NCAA competition.

Sue Gunter time

Future Lobby of Notoriety mentor Sue Gunter was recruited to supplant Swanner. Gunter would lead the Woman Tigers for the following 22 seasons. Gunter drove the Woman Tigers to 14 NCAA competition appearances. Despite the fact that she just came out on top for three standard season championships, for the vast majority of her residency the SEC was overwhelmed by public powers Tennessee, Reddish-brown and Ole Miss. Gunter took a clinical time away in the center of the 2003-04 season. Her top partner, Pokey Chatman, who had played for Gunter in the last part of the 1980s and mid 1990s and filled in as an associate mentor since the finish of her playing days, took over as break mentor and drove the Tigers to their most memorable Last Four. Be that as it may, Gunter was still authoritatively lead trainer, and LSU credits the whole season to her. Gunter resigned after the season, and Chatman was named her super durable replacement.

Pokey Chatman time

Pokey Chatman drove the group to two additional sequential Last Four appearances and was profoundly viewed as mentor. Notwithstanding, during the 2006-2007 season, only before the NCAA Competition, Chatman surrendered after claims of ill-advised direct with a previous player surfaced. She was supplanted on a break premise by long-lasting right hand Bounce Starkey, who instructed the group during the 2007 NCAA competition, driving them to a fourth back to back Conclusive Four.

Van Chancellor time

Van Chancellor, the previous lead trainer for Ole Miss and the Houston Comets, was employed toward the finish of the 2006-2007 season as a long-lasting substitution. In his most memorable year as mentor, Chancellor drove the Woman Tigers to the SEC customary season title. The Woman Tigers were sprinter up in the 2008 SEC ladies' b-ball competition and made the NCAA Last Four for a fifth sequential year. LSU joined UConn as the main two schools ever to arrive at five sequential Last Fours.

Nikki Fargas time

On April 2, 2011, LSU recruited Nikki Caldwell, later Nikki Fargas, to supplant Chancellor as lead trainer of the Woman Tigers. Fargas played as Nikki Caldwell at the College of Tennessee under Corridor of Popularity mentor Pat Summitt. During her residency as lead trainer at LSU, Fargas drove the Woman Tigers to five NCAA Division I ladies' b-ball competition appearances in 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2017.

Fargas surrendered as lead trainer on April 24, 2021, to become leader of the WNBA's Las Vegas Experts.

Kim Mulkey period

On April 25, 2021, LSU reported the marking of Kim Mulkey to supplant Fargas as lead trainer. Mulkey played at Louisiana Tech, where she likewise proceeded to be a right hand and partner lead trainer for a very long time. Before tolerating the proposal to mentor LSU, she was the lead trainer for Baylor College, where she came out on top for three public titles in 21 seasons.[2]

On December 2, 2021, Mulkey drove the group to their most memorable success versus a positioned group by overcoming #14 Iowa State 69-60 in the Maravich Center giving the group a 7-1 record for the year.

On April 2, 2023, LSU would overcome the Iowa Hawkeyes, by the score of 102-85, to bring home their very first public title; the game likewise denoted the most elevated scoring title game in ladies' NCAA history.[3]
