LSU Tigers Women Dominate in Key Stat, Thrilling Kim Mulkey and Catching WNBA’s Eye
The LSU Tigers women’s basketball team is making waves early in the season by leading the nation in a remarkable statistical category: assists per game. With precision passing and selfless teamwork, the Tigers are currently averaging an impressive 22.5 assists per contest, setting the tone for an explosive offense that is difficult to contain.
This is exactly the kind of basketball that head coach Kim Mulkey loves — fast, fluid, and focused on sharing the ball. Known for her championship-winning pedigree, Mulkey has always emphasized team cohesion and smart decision-making on the court. LSU’s ability to execute those principles to perfection this season has already caught the attention of analysts and WNBA scouts alike.
Superstar guard Angel Reese, alongside key playmakers like Flau’jae Johnson and Hailey Van Lith, has been instrumental in fueling this assist-heavy approach. Reese’s ability to draw defenders and dish out precise passes, combined with Van Lith’s sharp court vision, has elevated LSU to new offensive heights.
“Great teams know how to move the ball,” Mulkey said in a recent interview. “I’m proud of how unselfish our players are. It’s not just about scoring points — it’s about making your teammates better.”
The Tigers’ unrelenting pace and precision passing make them a nightmare for opposing defenses. With every game, they solidify their reputation as one of the most dynamic offensive teams in college basketball.
This impressive display of teamwork isn’t just thrilling Mulkey; it’s turning heads in the professional world too. WNBA scouts are likely taking notes, as players who thrive in such an assist-oriented system often translate well to the next level.
As the season progresses, LSU’s assist dominance could be the key to another championship run — and perhaps a bright future for its stars in the WNBA.
