The Injury Update: Flau'Jae Johnson and Aneesah Morrow

Johnson has been nursing a shin injury where she sat out of the SEC Tournament in order to work through rehabilitation.

For Morrow, she re-aggravated a foot injury during SEC Tournament play after coming down awkwardly in the quarterfinal matchup.

Mulkey's Take on Johnson: "She still has those memories and wants to do that every single year. That's great motivation... She's healthy, I don't know why they wear those boots, but I think they got used to it. Flau'Jae is ready to go."

Johnson's Thoughts: "If you get on that court, then you're not hurt. There's no excuse. You have to be good to go."

Flau'Jae on Rehabbing the Injury: "It really hasn't been difficult. It was a change for me but i think it changed my perspective for the better. I've seen the game from a different point of view so I can help my team. I learned to love the hard things."

Morrow weighed in on being in a boot and her status moving forward. All in all, she's good to go for Saturday night in Baton Rouge and confident heading into the clash.

"People see me in a boot, then I go get a double double. It's just to take some stress off. We know how much time we spent in treatment," Morrow said on Friday.

The Prediction: Tigers Advance to the Round of 32

Mulkey and Co. enter the showdown as over 25-point favorites with the program looking to handle business in Baton Rouge.

With Johnson and Morrow back in the mix, the Tigers will once again be in good hands with the veteran tandem set to be alongside star sophomore Mikaylah Williams.

LSU's "Big 3" has the chance to lead them to a win in Round 1, but will need contributions down the line in order to thrive in this year's NCAA Tournament.

“I know to get through this tournament it’s going to take everybody,” Johnson said. “Yeah, we’re the ‘big three’, but it’s going to take a big eight to get to where we want to go.

"I know this because of how hard the Elite Eight was last year. You looked down the bench and you’re like, dang, we need one more, we need two more. We need everybody. Everybody is important. We have to be accountable about what we do off the court and on the court.”

Final Score Prediction: LSU 83, San Diego State 56
