Kim Mulkey and the LSU Tigers will head to Greenville (S.C) this week for the Southeastern Conference Tournament with the chance to take hardware back to Baton Rouge.

Mulkey and Co. will enter the tournament as the No. 3 seed and have received First Round and Second Round byes.

The Tigers will await their opponent with the clash set to take place on Friday, March 7 at 6 p.m. on the SEC Network.

LSU guard Flau'Jae Johnson will be out through the Southeastern Conference Tournament, according to Mulkey, while nursing what has been described as "shin inflammation."

LSU's leading scorer will be held out until the NCAA Tournament with the program remaining cautious with her status moving forward.

"I sat Flau'jae," Mulkey said on Sunday following LSU's loss to Ole Miss. "The doctor didn't tell her she had to sit. The trainer didn't tell her she had to sit. This started before the Texas game, and I encouraged her to sit then."

Johnson was seen in a walking boot on Sunday afternoon prior to the Tigers' Senior Day showdown against the Ole Miss Rebels.

"When your shins are hurting you," Mulkey said, "It's like your feet and your back. When they are hurting, you cannot mentally perform. I don't care how tough you are, how much pain tolerance you have — it affects you."
