Alexis Morris began her college career as a player under Coach Kim Mulkey and will end her college career under Mulkey. But her road to the championship game has been anything but linear.
Morris, a fifth-year senior who led the Tigers with 27 points in their win over Virginia Tech on Friday, started playing under Mulkey at Baylor in 2017. But she was dismissed from the team for violating team rules before the start of the 2018 season, and ended up at Rutgers, where she medically withdrew after the 2020 season. In 2020-21, she played for Texas A&M before asking Mulkey for another shot, this time at Louisiana State.
