The LSU women’s basketball team is enjoying a significant reward after winning last season’s NCAA championship.
Following the Tigers’ title win, coach Kim Mulkey made it clear that the school needed to upgrade its basketball facilities, pointing out how old the Pete Maravich Assembly Center is.
“That thing is 48 years old,” she said at a Rotary Club of Baton Rouge luncheon in April. “You can’t grab a rail without holding onto somebody. I can say this now. I just won a national championship.”
