Set aside your allegiance to football or
baseball, that was no doubt the
moment of the athletic year for #LSU
sports.

SCOTT RABALAIS of the Advocate wrote this a couple days ago about Kenney:

The Rocky Balboa of this Lady Tigers team
and perhaps the toughest LSU athlete —
man or woman — this reporter has
covered in the past 21 years, Kenney
crumpled to the Pete Maravich Assembly
Center floor with 44.1 seconds left after a
head-to-head collision
...
LSU simply can’t afford to lose
another key player. Not now. Not against
a team as good as Penn State.
...
Kenney’s play in the starting lineup or off
the bench is often the booster shot of
adrenaline LSU’s offense — or defense —
needs at critical times.
Can LSU beat Penn State without her?
Sure, theoretically, anything is possible.
...
(but) The Lady Tigers had better (say) a prayer for Kenney’s swift recovery as LSU fights (Penn State) for its first Sweet 16 berth since...2008.
Because they don’t stand a prayer without her.



“Bless her heart,” Caldwell said of
Kenney. “She has been on that floor more
than the free-throw line."

Considering how short handed the
Lady Tigers were, that win over Penn
State was one of the great wins in
@LSUsports history.

 

SCOTT RABALAIS, the Advocate

one game can change a lot. That game
came Tuesday for LSU, which with a
small but fierce band of resisters earned a
berth in the Sweet 16 with a 71-66 upset
of Penn State.
...
That the Lady Tigers got here with
seven players against a team the caliber
of a high-plateau dweller like Penn State
is the stuff of Dale Brown’s giant-killer
dreams.
...
this ragtag, battered
team that was even farther from the
Sweet 16 back in February at 13-10 than
the 2,300 miles that lie between Baton
Rouge and Spokane.
...
this is likely the least
talented team Nikki Caldwell will put on
the court at LSU. A five-star prospect in
Raigyne Moncrief joins the backcourt next
year

 

The Lady Tigers (22-11) will
play No. 2 seed California (30-3) in
the Spokane, Wash., regional
semifinal at 10:32 p.m. CT today in
Spokane Veterans Memorial Arena.
The game will be televised by ESPN2
and ESPN3.com
