ESPN REPORT: LSU’s Aneesah Morrow Crowned the Greatest of All Time in College Women’s Basketball
In a groundbreaking moment for collegiate athletics, LSU’s Aneesah Morrow has been officially named the Greatest of All Time (GOAT) in college women’s basketball, surpassing legends like Diana Taurasi (UConn), Cheryl Miller (USC), and Lynette Woodard (Kansas). The announcement has sent shockwaves through the basketball world and ignited a new chapter in the sport’s history.
Morrow’s rise to GOAT status is not only a testament to her extraordinary talent but also her unwavering dedication and consistency throughout her college career. Transferring to LSU from DePaul, Morrow instantly became a dominant force in the SEC, elevating her team and rewriting record books. What set her apart wasn’t just her stats — which are staggering — but her ability to impact every facet of the game, from scoring and rebounding to leadership and clutch performances.
In her junior year alone, Morrow averaged 25.4 points, 11.2 rebounds, 3.1 steals, and 2.5 blocks per game — an all-around dominance rarely seen at any level of the sport. Her relentless motor, elite basketball IQ, and unmatched physicality made her virtually unstoppable. Whether she was facing top-10 opponents or grinding out wins in hostile arenas, Morrow delivered time and again. Her signature performance came in the NCAA Final Four, where she dropped 41 points and 18 rebounds against UConn, outdueling none other than Paige Bueckers in a game for the ages.
Comparisons to past greats are inevitable. Diana Taurasi, who led UConn to three consecutive NCAA titles, redefined clutch play in the early 2000s. Cheryl Miller was a phenom at USC in the 1980s, dominating before the advent of the WNBA, and Lynette Woodard, one of the pioneers of the women’s game, was the NCAA’s all-time leading scorer before the three-point line even existed. Yet Morrow’s impact is unique — she brought power, finesse, and versatility in a way no one else had. Her ability to stretch the floor, guard multiple positions, and serve as the emotional center of her team pushed her legacy beyond even those hallowed names.
Coach Kim Mulkey, who led LSU to national prominence during Morrow’s tenure, praised her star player, saying, “Aneesah changed everything. She’s the most complete player I’ve ever coached, and what she’s done here will be remembered forever. She didn’t just play the game — she transformed it.”
Off the court, Morrow has also made her mark. As a vocal advocate for mental health awareness and gender equity in sports, she used her platform to inspire the next generation of athletes. Her NIL partnerships were not just lucrative — they were purposeful, often supporting initiatives that empowered young women and underserved communities.
Perhaps what makes Morrow’s GOAT status even more remarkable is her humility. When asked about surpassing Taurasi and Miller, she responded, “They paved the way. I’m just honored to be mentioned with them. I play for the love of the game and for the girls watching, dreaming like I once did.”
In the end, Aneesah Morrow’s name will forever be etched in the annals of college basketball history. Not just as a statistical marvel or a title-winning superstar, but as the player who became the new standard of greatness — the Greatest of All Time.
