The Updated Women's SEC Tournament Bracket: LSU Tigers Set to Face Florida Gators

Kim Mulkey and the LSU Tigers will begin their quest at an SEC Tournament Championship on Friday night in Greenville (S.C.) with a matchup against the Florida Gators.

Mulkey and Co. received byes in Rounds 1 and 2 after entering the tournament as the No. 3 seed.

For the Tigers, they'll be without star guard Flau'Jae Johnson for the weekend while she nurses a lower-body injury, according to Mulkey.

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."

Now, LSU is prepared for a clash against Florida following the Gators' Round 2 upset over the Alabama Crimson Tide.
