The NCAAW teams will now start preparing for the March Madness games, as the standings are nearly locked in and there is no margin for error from now on. One of the top challengers, the LSU Tigers, suffered some unexpected losses in the regular season, but will once again look to its instrumental guard, Flau’jae Johnson, to deliver in the knockout games.
Johnson also spoke about the crucial leadership role LSU will play in her final college season, as she looks to end her college career on a high note. To keep her focus and calm on the court, the playmaker turns to her other passion: rapping.
