Kim Mulkey praises Flau'Jae Johnson following LSU women's basketball's Elite Eight loss

Following LSU women's basketball's loss in the NCAA Tournament Elite Eight against UCLA, Tigers' head coach Kim Mulkey talked about her star guard.

Flau'Jae Johnson, who may declare for the WNBA in the coming days, scored a game-high 28 points against the Bruins in what may have been her final game donning the purple and gold. Mulkey reflected on Johnson's decision to play for her and how instrumental it was to the success of the program. The junior guard signed to LSU during Mulkey's inaugural season at the helm.

"When I took the LSU job, Flau'Jae Johnson was the first McDonald's All-American that I signed at LSU," Mulkey said.
