Aneesah Morrow left Sunday's NCAA Tournament Elite Eight game in the fourth quarter after fouling out. She played the final minutes of her collegiate career as LSU women's basketball fell to UCLA.
The senior forward, who played two seasons at DePaul, joined LSU following its national championship. She leaves a legacy filled with history as one of the best players the program has ever seen. During Sunday's postgame press conference, Morrow gave head coach Kim Mulkey an emotional, "Thank you for everything."
"I'm just grateful for the opportunity," Morrow said. "A lot of people don't get the opportunity that I get and that I received just to be able to come to LSU. I feel like they helped me not only mature on the basketball floor but as a person."
In her senior season, Morrow etched her name into the record books. She is one of two Division I players in history to record over 100 double-doubles and one of eight players with 2,000 points and 1,500 rebounds in a career.
"Nobody in the country has done what I did over the four years and I'm honestly just proud of myself for overcoming as much as I overcame and being able to do it at the biggest level," Morrow said.
Known for her tenacity on both ends of the floor, Morrow developed a reputation for being relentless in pursuit of the basketball. She credits Mulkey and her "second family" at LSU for building her into a reliable player and person.
"Coach Mulkey challenged me to be a better person, to be a better player," Morrow said. "She challenged me to be able to make it in the real world.
"They've had my back through it all."
"Coach Mulkey, thank you for everything."
