WIS- Seimone Augustus

Let’s hear it for the girls! 🎉💫 | Former LSU Tigers women's basketball player Seimone Augustus was honored by a statue that was unveiled outside the program's arena, the Pete Maravich Assembly Center, on Sunday in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

Augustus, 38, is the first female LSU athlete to have a statue on campus. LSU coach Kim Mulkey said honoring Augustus and other program legends was one of her big priorities when she came to the school in 2021.

Augustus went to the women's Final Four three times with the Tigers. She was then the No. 1 pick in the 2006 WNBA draft by the Minnesota Lynx, with whom she played 14 years and won four league championships. Augustus finished her WNBA career in 2020 with the Los Angeles Sparks. She also won three Olympic gold medals with the U.S. women's team.
