LSU’s Alexis Morris has been invited to attend the WNBA draft Monday in New York.

ESPN will televise the draft, which begins at 6 p.m. CT.

Morris, who led LSU to its first national championship with 21 points in the Tigers’ 102-85 win over Iowa in the title game Sunday, is one of 15 players invited to attend Monday’s draft.

Morris, a three-time transfer from Beaumont, Texas, came to LSU two seasons ago, teaming up with coach Kim Mulkey, who had originally signed Morris in 2018 at Baylor.

Morris helped re-energize the program, averaging 15.2 points in 64 games. She was never more clutch than in this year’s NCAA tournament, hitting four last-minute free throws in the Tigers’ Sweet 16 win over Utah and scoring 15 of her 21 points in the fourth quarter against Iowa.

LaDazhia Williams and Jasmine Carson are also draft eligible after playing big roles in LSU’s championship run.

LSU has had 20 players drafted into the WNBA, and Mulkey has had 21 players drafted in her 23 years as a head coach. Khayla Pointer and Faustine Aifuwa were Mulkey’s first LSU players to be drafted last season — Pointer in the second round and Aifuwa in the third round, both to the Las Vegas Aces.
